Ever since its launch or rather re-launch, Jawa motorcycles have been a talking point for many in the country. Many motorcycle groups and enthusiasts in the country had celebrated the comeback of an iconic brand in the country. Down south things are no different. After getting an excellent response from the customers in Kerala, Jawa is now planning to close the bookings in the state.

Kerala is one of the biggest markets for Jawa motorcycles in the country. They have received such an overwhelming response from the customers that bikes are sold out until September 2019 in the state. Earlier Jawa had stopped taking online orders from a customer because of the same reason.

Speaking to media at Kochi dealership inauguration, Anupam Thareja, co-founder, Classic Legends said,

We have received an overwhelming response from the state, with the majority of customers falling in the 23-29 age bracket. A large number of bookings has come from cities like Kozhikode and Kochi. We will be engaged in fulfilling current orders until the end of October.
