Q. For long Drive Which one is good JAWA or Royal Enfield Thunderbird?
  • Thats true, Jawa is a city bike with a contradictory gear box, i.e., seating posture is for the city, but gear box is for the highway. Also Jawa's pickup had no competition in those earlier days, but now things are different, with plenty of options. Young boys maturing to ride bikes will prefer sporty bikes. Jawa will be preferred by more mature men starting from around their 30s, and by that time men will be family men and for them a short seat like that in Jawa will not serve their family purposes. So most men who are Jawa enthusiasts will have to drop their enthusiasm for Jawa and opt for other options. Lack of tubeless tyre options will also deter many from opting a Jawa. If Classic Legends do not take these into consideration, then Jawa might have a bleak future.
  • Hello Daniel, both bikes are very capable and very retro in their looks. The Jawa however has an edge in the performance department. If you are looking for leasurely cruising then the Thunderbird will suffice. However if you need a higher speed and the benefit of a sixth gear to cruise at higher speeds, yet at lower rpm, then it has to be the Jawa. Why don't you take a test drive of both and then decide.
  • Thunderbird is best one. Jawa is a city bike not a tourer

Q. What the difference between Jawa bikes and Royal Enfield in reference to price, performance, service etc. Is it true that the waiting period for Jawa bikes is 6 month
  • I don't think you've made a ride with the jawa, because the performance is much better than the Enfield ones.Enfield truly lacks power and in terms of smoothness and handling Enfield isn't even close.where enfield gets the benchmark is the service cost and volume of the bike
  • Costlier than Royal Enfield . In performance Royal Enfield is good. Regarding service wehave wait until it hits the road. Regarding waiting period it is falsely over hyped by jawa. To create more booking.
  • Waiting period is 8 months. Booked it today. RE is far inferior compared Jawa in ride quality, comfort, handling, pick up, smoothness, Fewer or no vibrations etc.

Q. Which is a better bike either Jawa 42 or Jawa Classic, sir, 42 and jawa classic is looking very short when compared Royal classic (looking height length also)
  • Jawa classic holds the legacy of the original Jawa in 19th century with similar looks and comparable performance. The 42 is the byproduct of the classic. If you are strong to the roots and want to be part of jawa legacy then go for jawa classic and if you want just a bike to ride and with modern looks go for jawa 42. In my opinion if you want a jawa then go for jawa classic
  • Yes,but jawa is good and robust than royal Enfield.it is suitable for any height .but when you compare jawa 42 with standard jawa I will prefer standard jawa and if with royal Enfield classic then I will tell inspite of jawa is smaller than Royal Enfield classic jawa is always jawa .I am the owner of both jawa and royal Enfield jawa is better.
  • Jawa is suitable for short riders too. If you want more show, the Jawa is best. If you need something else, then 42 is better.

    Got my jawa maroon classic 

    Got my jawa maroon classic in 2020.Didn't get to ride much.But whatever i rode, I was utterly disappointed.The vehicle is too heavy to pull or push.The rear wheel appears to spin hard.When asked the showroom mechanic, He said it was due to a 'large rim'!!!!! the clutch lever is so hard it results in wrist aching.No solution from the mechanic.The sound is not impressive, And it is on the irritating side.The sound that continues for some time after the engine is stalled after a ride is even more irritating.Riding comfortably for short distances is fine, But can be painful in long hauls.Pick-up, Speed, Etc are ok.Now the major flaws.Within one year, The silencer and the leg guards started rusting, And surprisingly, The silencer developed holes too! so much so for the mahindra quality.Try parking the vehicle on the centre stand.You should be a weight lifter!!! overall, The vehicle looks awesome although do not replicate the original jawa.The quality of the materials is pathetic.Mechanics such as hardness in wheel spin, Clutch lever, And center stand are painful to the rider.The sound is unimpressive and irritating.The mileage is not great.
