Q. Which bike to choose, Jawa or Classic 350?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. Classic 350 new engine is refined, powerful, and decently frugal. The fit and finish of the bike have improved tremendously. The Classic 350 finally gets a fuel gauge. On the other hand, Granted, Classic Legends have managed to retain the essence of the original Jawa, but the new and improved Jawa just doesn't feel as special as the original. Here's why. The bike's short-stroke, high-compression motor simply isn't meant for cruising. It revs hard and likes to be kept on the boil, attributes that are unlike any laidback cruiser. And that's what eats into the bike's charm. The Classic 350 and Imperiale 400, although slow, offer a comfortable and relaxed ride. Aspects you'd be looking at if you want to cross continents or simply cruise on the highway. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.
