Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yezdi Jawas were a Parsi favourite. Odds are, if you spot a well-maintained Yezdi today, it's owner is a Parsi. Well, Mahindra has roped in a "Bawa" - Boman Irani - for the unveiling on 15th November. |

| ![]() Guys - genuine question. What's special about Jawa? Is it the retro look & feel (like RE) or does it trump in any aspects? I know Jawa brand has a huge following, but don't know why. I kind of know what's great about an RX100 and hear about RE. |

| ![]() I know that the new Jawa will not be able to kindle the same kind of passion old Jawa does. My only hope is that the new Jawa forces the prices of old Jawa down which will allow me to get one ![]() |

| ![]() Hope people dont confuse Boman Irani with the actor ![]() It will be very difficult for Mahindra to create the continuity after such a long time. If the bike is good and young people accept it, its good. But for someone like me and others for whom it was one of the couple of bikes that even existed in India, it will be difficult. Even the Road King was little different compared to the Jawa although the sound was exact same. |

- In the pre 1984 where there was no "C" of choices, Yezdi & Jawa were the only powerful motorcycles that helped go about places - Before the 90s kids were charmed by the sound of Rx the 80s kids were charmed by the smoke of Yezdi & Jawa - You could do any juggad with Yezdi & Jawa but limited with Rx & very limited with today's motorcycles - Rx is reliable than Yezdi, but Yezdi never gives up & I'm talking about an engine seizure. I've rode a Rx that had an engine seizure, but after few months I had to rebuild the engine. Had that been an Yezdi/Jawa, I'm sure it would've lasted few years - If you could learn one or two tricks from the mechanic, it was easy to work on Yezdi/Jawa, not that difficult with Rx & not so easy with modern day motorcycles | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Jawa's upcoming Enfield rival finally spotted testing on the roads - Looks nothing like the earlier speculated Chinese model. Bring it on Mahindra! ![]() Pics received on Whatsapp biking group. Original ource unknown. Last edited by CrAzY dRiVeR : 31st October 2018 at 19:11. |

| ![]() Here's my additional take. Jawa/Yezdi also had a sound that people use to hanker for. While the Enfield had the bass heavy "ddhuk ddhuk ddhuk" kind of sound that people loved the Yezdis (and Jawas) sounded like free revving sport bikes in comparison in those days. Particularly after a steady acceleration when the rider used to let go off the accelerator the sound of the engine used to be amazing! People also loved the twin exhaust pipes of the Jawas. |

| ![]() Rear drum brake on a premium motorcycle in 2018? Seriously Mahindra?? Otherwise the motorcycle looks decently built and the design is lovely. Lets hope it lives up to the hype. |

| ![]() Strongly agree with you; I'm also a personal fan of that sound; when the throttle is closed, you hear one dun followed by the other dun after 100 meters & in between nothing at all & when you do a quick shift down, sort of engine braking, the engine roaring is pure goosebumps. |
