After a prolonged absence from the Indian two-wheeler market, Jawa Motorcycles has now finally made a comeback. With thousands of Indians holding the words Jawa-Yezdi close to them in nostalgic stories of their father or grandfather’s first bike being a Jawa, they can now buy a fresh one off the shelf. Jawa Motorcycles were extremely popular in the 1960s and 70s in India. The Czech motorcycle manufacturer unveiled three new motorcycles for the Indian market. The three are powered by a new 300cc engine that was recently unveiled.
