Q. Which is better between Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Jawa 42 - 42?
  • The Jawa 42 sits between the different Royal Enfield Classic 350 variants that are on offer currently. It offers a retro design with modern underpinnings that should perform well. What’s more, it is likely to be more reliable in the long run as well. Meanwhile, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 looks more modern but should offer an old school feels thanks to its motor. You also get more variants to choose from as well as a rear disc brake and dual-channel ABS. Ultimately the Jawa 42 offers a modern bike with a classic design while the Royal Enfield Classic 350 is a retro-modern design with old school mechanicals, which makes it feel like you’re riding something from an era gone by. While comparing these two Classic Legends we have only one thing to say that "Legends are not meant to compare there are meant to ride". So suggest you to take a test ride of both the Legendary motorcycles to know which one is better for you.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Vs Jawa 300: Spec Comparison :- https://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/royal-enfield-classic-350-vs-jawa-300-spec-comparison/32303/ Jawa 42 vs Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Comparison:- https://www.zigwheels.com/bike-comparison/jawa-motorcycles-42-vs-royal-enfield-bullet-350-twinspark
  • I hope ajay is little but prejudicial towards 350x because his every answer is negative for jawa. However jawa supersedes in performance, built and ergonomics. From the 27 bhp which is jawa as compared to the 19 bhp of 350x, jawa is comparable to the 500x which gives the same bhp. Now lets talk about the vibrations of 350x, on the other hand jawa gives you a very smooth ride. Now lets talk about the pricing for jawa 42 which is 1.55 lacs ex showroom which is approx 20 k less than 350x. The same is with the kerb weight for which jawa offers the machine for 170 kgs on the other hand 350x weighs 190kgs. And yes taller persons can eaily ride jawa.
  • Very subjective.. you need to ride both to decide. Both induce different kind of feelings because of their respective engine types. The engine tech and dual abs definitely make the Jawa a more modern machine.. having said that.. do take a test ride of both before you make a decision

Q. Jawa 42 ko Jawa Perak ke silencer fit kar sakte hai kya - 42 - 42 - 42?
  • Yes!
  • It would be hard to give a verdict as the Jawa Perak hasn't been launched yet. Stay tuned.
  • No
Q. I'm 5'9', me & my wife shortlisted either Bajaj Dominar 400 or Jawa 42.Which is more comfortable in terms of city/highway riding for pillon & rider? Especially for back seat.
  • Go for dominor... The jawa in simole words is for beginners.. there's not much performance and when vfm comes as a factor.. dominor 400 wins over everything in its segment... And adding a pillion backrest from lluvia would give a bump in the pillion comfort..
  • You can go for Jawa 42....especially for back seat......in Dominar, its risky for pillion because of the initial power of the bike.
Q. Is there any starting problem in winter or monsoon as I know Jawa as FI engine. Only self option - 42 - 42 - 42?
  • I am.using 42 from october 2019, it has starting problem.. Couple of times it stopped starting even after riding some kms and while restarting..I don't understand it's battery problem or some other
  • No thats not true. I extremely cold winters days here in north i am having starting trouble. Since there is no choke and kick still trying to figure out how to start this.
  • The Jawa 42 comes with the fuel-injection system for which we don't think that cold temperature would be a problem. For a better insight into the performance, check out the First Ride Review

    Around 24 years ago i owned old jawa and rode it for thousands of KM . It will thrill me each and every time i touch the handle bar & pump it to start 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. Now to coming new jawa . I went test ride new jawa with imaginations & drove more than 210 km i got mileage of 23kmpl. 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.I never need a bike for visual pleasure.

    This bike is truly wonderful. It's look so lovely like a bobber bike & this bike's engine is great.also this bike is good in mileage. This bike's engine produce more power and torque than Royal Enfield. One of the best things of this bike's is it's double exhaust. This bike is more comfortable than others bike. I am sure JAWA will beat all classic bike companies even Royal Enfield. Thank you.

    I have a lot of problem like the speedometer is going in reverse and also front brake is getting locked sometimes. Main problem is the seat and horn. Seat is really hard and bad for long rides and also the horn sounds cheap which is bad for my bike

    Got my first servicing done. Seat has been modified for comfort. Got an extra horn and mobile charger fitted.Now one of the sensors not working and dealer says I will have to pay for it.Not a great experience.

    Well with very high curiosity I bought this bike. The biggest turnoff was there is no kick start system in it. Secondly the self start is not so updated. Thirdly paint quality is absolutely poor. Fourth the odometer is just like designer mind. Upside down. The fuel gauge doesn’t indicate properly.

    Having owned this bike for almost 5 months and used it for daily commute, it definitely has turned out to be value for money. Handling is light and long rides are not cumbersome. You can not zip over the speed-breakers due to low ground clearance but that's what the speed-breakers are built for. Good suspension and seating posture. Please have seat cover with additional cushioning fitted for extra comfort. Service centers are very customer centric. Enthusiasts get 4 exhaust options to select from due to DB killer arrangement. In terms of look it is more retro looking than it's counterpart Java (Java). May look smaller in size with RE models however 42's engine will surprise you with it's response and power.Lower seating also gives you advantage in maneuverability.
