While Mahindra has a 60 per cent stake in the company Classic Legends, the balance 40 per cent is held by Anupam Thareja, Founder of Classic Legends and Boman Irani, Chairman and MD at Rustomjee Group.

“We have received a good response from the market,” Ashish Joshi, CEO at Classic Legends told Financial Chronicle without disclosing volumes.

The Jawa Perak bobber is powered by the BS6-compliant 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine which develops 30hp and 31Nm of torque.

The Perak’s engine is slightly larger than that of the Jawa and the Jawa 42. This increased capacity is a result of a larger bore, with the stroke remaining unchanged.
