The Jawa dealership is a place to make connections with yourself, with like-minded people and with the motorcycles. Its design philosophy is rooted in authenticity, and the ability to bridge the past and the present through its stories and the motorcycles. It is a biker café ambience which tells the tale of the legend that Jawa is.

The space captures the nostalgia of a golden era which celebrated honesty of materials and craftsmanship through its dark polished wood fixtures, subtle inlays, raw textures and vintage oxblood upholsterers. At the same time, the motorcycles infuse a contemporariness in the showroom with their modern interpretation of classic design, loaded with the latest in engine technology and features. The various elements have been designed to present the contemporary classic Jawa motorcycles amidst a visual narrative layer of legendary stories and monochrome lifestyle imagery. Whether it is the large community table setting for free-flowing conversations, the carefully curated bookshelf for the curious reader, or the Classic Rock in the background for the music lover; the space makes everyone feel easy, whether a hard-core motorcyclist or a millennial looking to immerse into the world of motorcycling.

Anupam Thareja, Founder, Classic Legends and Founder and Managing Partner, Phi Capital along with Ashish Joshi, Chief Executive Officer, Classic Legends inaugurated the showrooms, amidst a throng of Jawa aficionados and customers.

Speaking at the inauguration, Thareja, said, “It gives me great pride to inaugurate Classic Legends’ Jawa Motorcycles dealerships in Delhi-NCR. Jawa Motorcycles has enjoyed a huge fan following throughout and it was a historic moment for us when we brought Jawa back in India last month. We are quite upbeat to offer these classics to the motorcycle enthusiasts in the country. As a custodian of the JAWA brand, it is my obligation on behalf of the entire Jawa team to make sure every Jawa dealer goes out and changes the way classic motorcycles should be sold to the future riding generation. It is very important to us at the JAWA team to make sure every dealer becomes a strong pillar of our growth and it is our promise that we stand fully behind them, now and always. They trusted us on the brand value of JAWA alone, before even seeing the products or knowing about the pricing of the motorcycles. It was their confidence in us that allowed us to build the JAWA showrooms the way you see it today. We will not leave any stone unturned in providing our customers with the best of the sales, service and spares ecosystem.”

Joshi pointed out: “This was the right timing to have come up with this range of motorcycles, as the Indian premium motorcycle market is not only growing but also evolving in consumer tastes and preferences. With the opening of our dealerships we are excited that the products are finally into the hands of the fans of Jawa. We also had a very encouraging media test ride session a few days ago and are glad that the feedback has been so positive. Finally, all the effort on design, engineering and engine platform has come to bear fruit in the way we had planned it. The faith placed by Jawa customers, aficionados and our dealer partners is helping us create a vast dealership network which will offer an un-paralleled customer experience with best in-class sales and service offering for any classic motorcycle brand out there. We are excited that we have already taken the right step forward in building this experience by announcing an industry-first exchange programme and the largest number of financial tie ups. I would encourage everyone to visit our dealers and look at the motorcycles, test ride them to feel the modern classics we have created.”
