Jawa vs Royal Enfield Classic 350

Question 1

Q. Which bike is better Jawa or RE Thunderbird. As, Jawa is new and not many people have ride it. However, the hipe created for Jawa more and just wanted to check which one is the better option. Jawa has Fuel Injection where as RE Thunderbird has carburetor fuel system. Please suggest which one is better in terms of overall performance. I am confused.

Answer

That would depend on how you want to use it. The new Jawa is good for cities, it is light weight, agile and has a powerful engine(27 bhp) but it is not very good for long rides. RE on rhe other hand is heavy and is better suited for long rides. It is not as agile as the jawa but can run in thw city with ease once you get used to it. As fat as sound is concerned the jawa is nothing close to RE. Jawa has far less vibrations than the RE. Hope this helps.

Answer

Jawa is just a hipe nothing more . Visible good bike. We can compare the engine noise & thump it with hero splendor . I have driven it for more than 600 km it did not surprise me. Himalayan or RE Thunderbird.

Answer

I am a Jawa lover... How can I recommend other than that ??!"

Question 2

Q. Which bike is better for touring, Jawa or classic 350 ?

Answer

Both bikes are good enough. If you wan better comfortable ride quality and like calm riding, you may go for Royal Enfield Classic 350. On the other hand, if you want better power performance and sporty handling and easy to handle bike, you may go for Jawa. You may compare both the bikes accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Question 3

Q. Which is better to buy Jawa ABS or 350 Classic ABS?

Answer

1. --- 24 years ago i have driven old jawa for thousands of KM . It will thrill me every time i touch the handle bar & pump it to alive the engine. The exhaust thump & interval between the next thump cant say in words. Flick & Kick is a wonderful experience . I used to get mileage around 30 kmpl to 35 kmpl. 2.--- Now to coming new jawa . I went test ride new jawa with imaginations & drove more than 210 km i got mileage of 18 kmpl. Engine is powerful till 110 km/hr then it straining to climb speed with vibrations & becomes too noisy .The exhaust sound is like hero splendor bike. There are lots welding visually seen around new jawa . They recreated visibly old jawa . Visually good bike. I didn't get moved or ringed & impressed while riding. 3.-- I owned old bullet 1996 model i used it as a bicycle go everywhere with it. 4.-- Initially when i test drove RE Classic 350 UCE i was upset with engine thump & Rhythm. But the driving experience impressed gave the same pleasure simply same as my old bullet. So i was convinced and purchased a RE Classic 350 UCE engine model and riding till date. .So that's how the new jawa didn't impress me. I never need a bike for visual pleasure.

Answer

If you like vibration after crossing 70 speed, if like loud noise, if you like high maintenance cost then classic 350 ABS is right choices If you don't like above features then please go with Jawa

Answer

Answer

If you are a first time buyer then none of the above. If an experienced rider, then the Jawa 42.If new to two wheelers you need to buy light weight bike which weighs between 100 and 120 kgs. You master this first. In this category you will find TVS Radeon, Hero HF Deluxe, Bajaj Platina.

But the driving experience impressed gave the same pleasure simply same as my old bullet. So i was convinced and purchased a RE Classic 350 UCE engine model and riding till date. 5.-- In addition to it i have purchased interceptor 650 without test driving it . Because the test ride bike & My allotted bike came in same lot went for registration same date . I would say the powerful bike i never owned & Ever manufactured by Royal enfield. my choice was good. I getting mileage around 22 kmpl to 27 kmpl depending upon speed i go.So that's how the new jawa didn't impress me. I never need a bike for visual pleasure.

Answer

See jawa is bit short than Royal Enfield but I think that a 6 feet man should not use Jawa.But I have seen that jawa is better than Royal Enfield.In test drive you may not be satisfied because of your height.In Royal Enfield also the same thing will happen.So my suggestion to you is You should buy Royal Enfield interceptor. But Jawa is smooth.

Answer

Please wait for Benelli Imperial 400 which is due to launch during this year. It will be a quality bike with retro look but high on enjoyment.
