Jawa Number 1 Goes For Rs 45 Lakh

Costliest bike sold was for Rs 45 lakh.
Each buyer will get a specialised livery Jawa Signature edition motorcycle.
Official deliveries of the Jawa motorcycles begin today at 11am.

Classic Legends has pulled off another great customer engagement event as it managed to raise Rs 1.43 crores to help the Indian Armed Forces. The Jawa #ForeverHeroes auction was held yesterday in Mumbai where 13 chassis numbers were auctioned off. The highest bid received was for chassis number 1 which was auctioned off for Rs 45 lakh!

Bidders got to choose their favoured chassis number. People could bid live from the venue as well as online with an average bidding amount of Rs 10 lakh per lot bidded. The least that was bidded at the event was for chassis number 7 which went for just Rs 5 lakh. That is nearly triple the amount you pay for the regular bike. Here the list of the chassis numbers auctioned off:

No.	Chassis Number	Auctioned Price
1	1	Rs 45 lakh
2	17	Rs 17 lakh
3	5	Rs 11.75 lakh
4	24	Rs 10.5 lakh
5	3	Rs 10.25 lakh
6	99	Rs 7.5 lakh
7	52	Rs 7.25 lakh
8	13	Rs 6.25 lakh
9	26	Rs 6 lakh
10	18	Rs 6 lakh
11	11	Rs 5.5 lakh
12	77	Rs 5.25 lakh
13	7	Rs 5 lakh

The numbers were chosen were the most popular ones from the online participants. Ironically, chassis number 42 did not make the cut. Imagine owning a Jawa Forty Two with the chassis number 42. Well that just means we still do not know answers to everything in this world just yet.

However, these buyers get something special. They get a special Jawa Signature edition motorcycle (either the Jawa or the Forty Two, buyers can decide) with the tank adorned with an Indian tricolour livery. The buyers also get a custom monogrammed fuel tank cover with the owner’s name etched on it. Plus a 42 month service package covers everything for the periodic maintenance of the sold motorcycles including consumables.

The proceeds generated from this event go towards the education of the children of Indian Armed Forces officers who lost their lives in action. Jawa recognises their contributions in protecting our borders.

There is also good news for those who have already booked the Jawa of their choice. The deliveries begin today with the first bike being delivered at 11am. So as you might be reading this piece, the first motorcycle might have just found a lucky owner.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
