The Jawa 42 FJ 350 cc was launched at a surprising price of 199,142 ex-showroom Delhi, reports a nostalgic Rajesh Karkera/Rediff.com.
When Jawa Motorcycles owner Jiri Gerle sold the legendary but defunct brand to Classic Legends (part-owned by Mahindra & Mahindra), he had one request to the new owners: Please do bring the brand back to its homeland -- the Czech Republic.
And it's a strategy that seems to have paid off. Online booking for the motorcycle has been temporarily halted given the huge waiting list of buyers. Orders are still being taken at the dealerships, but the earliest one can expect a delivery is by the end of 2019, reports T E Narasimhan.
Barely a month after breaking covers, the models -- the Jawa, the Jawa 42 and the Perak -- were sold out, reports Shally Seth Mohile.
Classic Legends, the owner of the Jawa and Yezdi brands, is embarking on a revival plan - from nearly doubling its dealership count in India, introducing more models, to focusing on exports to Asean markets. It recently introduced the Jawa 350 motorcycle to take on Royal Enfield. The company plans to add more models this year.

Once a rage on Indian roads, the Yezdi motorcyle and its cult are stronger than ever
The lumbering Ambassador and Fiat cars, it ruled the Indian roads throughout the 1970s, while the Rajdoot and Jawa as well as the old Royal Enfield motorcycles trailed far behind.
Cruising comfortably in the 70s, Royal Enfield sputtered to a stop in the 90s, before its comeback in the first decade of the 21st century.
All iconic and very rare to find now, they are still high in demand among the youth
Unconventional and still quirky looking as ever, the Mojo gets me thinking of the Predator (from the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic) with hints of Yamah's (bug-eyed) 125cc Fazer and Triumph's Street Triple to stir things up.
