Speaking about this unprecedented response, Classic Legends Pvt Ltd. Co-Founder, Anupam Thareja said, “With such a tremendous response, it is my duty to inform the customers that we are sold out till September 2019 based on the current online bookings. Authenticity and honesty have been the hallmark of the brand. With such a large booking order, Jawa believes it is only fair to announce the waiting period for those with confirmed bookings. The current waiting period for online bookings already extends till September 2019 however the deliverieswill start from March 2019 as per the booking sequence.”
Jawa will deliver the single-channel ABS models first from March 2019
Jawa Motorcycles says it will connect with every customer directly from here on about their delivery timeline, while production is being ramped up to reduce the waiting period. The company will now be focusing on expanding its retail network across the country ahead of the February deadline.
Speaking on the network strategy, Anupam added, “Given the continued demand for bookings, all dealerships will be open for test rides and we would encourage our buyers to come experience the Jawas and build a relationship with us. While, the dealerships will continue to take bookings for deliveries beyond September, we believe it was our responsibility to transparently set delivery expectations for bookings done at dealerships. We invite customers to walk into our showrooms for further bookings.”
Jawa Motorcycles has already opened 10 dealerships across India with two outlets in Pune, three in Bangalore and five in Delhi. The company has showrooms planned in other cities as well, with each of the 100+ showrooms being a 3S (Sales, Service and Spares) facility.
