Jawa 300 is literally identical to the original Jawa. With a few modern fits and finishes, it still displays the authentic retro-classic roadster look.
After heavy public demand, Classic Legends has now equipped the Jawa and Jawa Forty-Two with rear disc brake and dual-channel ABS setup. Single-disc brake with single-ABS is also sold. 
In its original avatar, it won many rallies and race events. It was a lightweight two-stroke big with a distinctive and loved exhaust note. However, with stricter emission norms kicking in, the motorcycle had to be stopped in India.
To assure all the people living with its memories, the new model looks very identical to the original model. The styling bits are the same with the proud ‘Jawa’ logo running over the bulbous fuel tank.
Yes, it gets a few upgrades like disc brakes, ABS, BS-6 engine and modern suspension. However, the layout and design work remains true to the gills.
Classic Legends has launched 2 more models, include Forty-Two and Perak. Jawa Forty-Two is a modern version of the original model with bits of modern touches. Perak draws inspiration from the original Perak 250, which was available in the 1960s. Perak was one of the first Jawa’s and like the current Perak, was a true Bobber.
The prices start off at Rs 1.55 Lakhs for Type 42, 1.64 Lakhs for Jawa and 1.89 Lakhs for the Bobber.

History
The Czech bike brand made it to our shores back in the 1960s when it was known as the Ideal Jawa. Back then, the bikes were manufactured in Mysore, Karnataka. It started off with original Jawa, which was in production for a decade. During that time, it started garnering its fan.
Later, in the early 70s, the names were changed to Yezdi, which created a landmark in Indian two-wheeler history. Yezdi came in many variants and different capacity engines. After a successful stint for 20 years, the brand went out of production in India in 1996.
Till now, these bikes are preserved and not sold easily. If you luckily find one for sale, expect to shell above Rs 50,000 for buying it. If you find a restored one, it will go for Lakhs.
