Q. I have booked a Jawa 42 but now I am confused weather to buy RE 350 or Jawa 42, I want the best to be chosen and worth the money I am going to spend. - 42 - 42 - 42?
  • Brother i would give you honest suggestion. Don't go with the looks of jawa, its a new bike and everyone gets attracted towards new bike always, but first thing is There is no Kick start .2.Fuel Gauge does not work properly in almost all jawa bikes. 3.No Alloy wheels.option. 4. No Tubless Tires. 5.Low Quality Matt Paint. 6. Dealers Not well qualified nor mechanics. Road side mechanic cannot repair it. TAKE MY ADVICE GO FOR RE350 AND GET IT SIMPLE MODIFICATION. IT HAS GOT THAT THUMP comfort TO JAWA.
  • Choice is your . But if you required suggestion then I would suggest you to go for JAWA forty two . As the company is delaying in delivering never mind it will surely make it perfect after some months . As I am not going in the specification areas because it is readly available in the internet so you can just compare the both .
  • Dear, if you are looking for worthy bike, then you have to understand that both have significant image. If you are looking for just a classic look and cant wait for it, go for 350 as waiting for JAWA will be more. But both are excellent, in some JAWA has superiority.

    A Classic sportfisherman, the Benelli Imperiale 400 adroitly combines strong interpretation with timeless indulgence. Its reliable 374cc Mechanism guarantees a staid and energetic ride, which makes it the full option for both megacity commutes and tardy passages. The traditional instruments and antique- themed bodywork of the motorbike inspire a feeling of literal supplication in its two wheeler. Although the riding experience is bettered by its affable running, the grand package might be farther bettered by better retardation interpretation. With its tasteful Expression and dynamic capability, the Benelli Imperiale 400 is a name agent that provides riders with a strong but traditional road ride.

It is one of the longest in the segment and give high stability on highway. The engine is very refined and feels most comfortable. It gives decent real world conditions mileage and offers good ride quality but heat management is not good. It gets decent hardware and good braking performance but is a high and bulky bike. It is a feature loaded bike but gives high service cost.

    Rider footrest 

    I had test ride with heavy weight plum pillion rider. Didn't cross 60km/hr speed. Posting some pros & cons in my view.PROS-- looks are super nice to fall in love with it. Handling is vert comfortable & good. The sitting comfort is excellent. Engine is super smooth. Suspension is too nice. Breaking is also good. Pickup is good. Its heavy but weight isn't felt while riding. Overall built quality & design is excellent. CONS--The major issue is engine heat. Heat isn't noticed when bike is in motion. But when its halted we can actually feel the heat on calf & thighs. The gear shift lever is too long for mid size shoe & heal shift lever is absent. There is no place for tool kit storage. the rider footrest is large & comfortable but its much extended outward which keeps brushing & hitting the calf. The pillion seat is independent but there is no option to detach it. The company doesn't provide optional backrest for pillion rider as accessories. Don't know about its fuel economy & service cost & aftersales service.

    Comfortable cruisers 

    It is one of the most comfortable cruisers that I’ve owned to date. Wonderful riding posture, Minimal or almost no vibrations at over 100kmph, A beautiful console to look at while riding, a Neat and clean paint job and most importantly! pretty dedicatedly assembled motorbike which is a delight to a rider's eye. (bhp and torque are the two totally out of syllabus subjects) the main concern that I have with Benelli is their service, I live in Guwahati, Assam and the dealer here is running an entire service station with just one mechanic and that too an amateur.The only thing they seem to know is an oil change and replacement of parts and the strangest of’em all is that you can’t purchase any parts and service on your own, not even the engine oil. My bike’s running a mileage of 20 to 22 km and they couldn’t figure out the reason why !!!! without proper after-sales service, i don’t believe any company could survive this forever-growing competitive market of motorbikes no matter how good is the product.

    For me it was love 

    For me it was love at first sight. I saw the ad on Facebook and fell for it. I was eagerly waiting for the price to be announced and booked the red one the same day. After more than three months' of waiting I got my hands on the bike on 6th of February. The first thing that struck me during the test-ride was the refinement and absolute quality. The engine offers quite powerful performance and urges you to twist the grip further. Ride quality is excellent. The bike is more suited for long highway rides but it handles quite well in city traffic, except for the slightly large turning radius. The retro looks are simply amazing. I am still in the process of running-in the engine, so I can only say that mileage is in excess of 30 kmpl. The exhaust has a muted roar that is so thrilling both on the highways as well as the city roads. Engine heat is a real problem and I hope it will reduce after the running-in period. 06/03/2020:I got back the bike after the first free service at 1000 kms and the service charge was a mere Rs. 1365. I need to go for a ride and check whether the engine heat has been reduced. I was told by the Service manager that it will come down since the engine oil has been changed from the normal to a synthetic one.

    Jawa motorcycle 42 is 

    Jawa motorcycle 42 is the best motorcycle, It is even better than royal enfield.Royal enfield has not made any major refinement or improvement in its motorcycles.Jawa motorcycle is back in india after so long and has a radiator and a fan to cool the engine, Two silencers enhance its beauty and to maintain the efficiency of the engine, They have retained the legacy.Royal enfield people are still sleeping on their old legacy.Paid people from re are just posting fake feedback here and there on google and on other social platforms.They are actually going crazy and are launching new models incessantly.But now re is completely stuck what-to-do condition, It has fallen from all sides because harley, Triumph and jawa have given tough competition to them, Nowadays new feedback is being posted all around that spare parts are very expensive, Service is not available and re people are also pointing fingers at jawa's quality, Just look at your own ! have you ever noticed vibration in your bikes? royal enfield has been given tough competition by jawa and others.Now they have new dealerships, They may not have critical spare parts, But it doesn't mean that they can't do service, So pls don't believe on these fake and false feedbacks and posts.

The Forty Two's Classic Design and quick running make everyride a homage to Jawa's devotion to Classic goddess. It's not Clearly a bike. icing that every path is met with the spirit of adventure and Trend that the Forty Two is known for, it's a representation of a rider's love for Classic Design. no

    Great brand value 

    Its motor feels much more tractable and useful, and its fit and finishing standards are excellent. Its single cylinder liquid cooled engine produces amazing performance and fuel efficiency, and its brand value is great although the Jawa Forty Two provides a dual channel ABS system and a sleek, modern appearance, the build quality might be improved. It is a really easy bike to ride with a great 300cc engine and it has a 13.2 litre fuel tank, a six speed manual gearbox, and a mileage of around 33 kmpl.

    Jawa Forty Two Modern Design with Classic Soul. 

    The Jawa Forty Two creates imperishable riding beatitude by linking a traditional spirit with coincidental phraseology. I've a great affection for this model since it provides riders with a special emulsion of nostalgia and technology. The features that this model tries have cemented its position in my heart as a treasured option, signifying Jawa's fidelity to creating a lift that appeals to both traditional addicts and coincidental riders. further than exclusively a bike, the Forty Two becomes a trip accompaniment for cyclists appearing to witness several ages, making each lift a festivity of quaint fetish and ultramodern dynamism.
