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. 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.

If you can afford a budget of 3L, then go for Interceptor 650...miles ahead then the Jawa..plus it is a 650 CC parallel twin, you will enjoy the level of refinement this engine offers with almost zero vibrations. Compared to jawa, this motorcycle is extremely stable in its mid range. Only when u redline it, you can feel a bit of vibes in the foot pegs, but the vibrations are nothing compared to the other REs and not something that will bother you in high speed

Pavan Kalyan · Answer

There is no comparison between int and jawa ....where the int is the best in cost...performance... maintenance...and everything..whereas jawa has some backdrops

AmitPundora · Answer

It's surely the Interceptor that is a better choise than java as it has more power and features like rear disk dual channel abs etc. Looks I think both are good but if you can take your budget to 3 lacks and wait for 4 to 5 months go for the Intercepto eyes closed.

If you want ease of repair, Lowest maintainence and awesome power then its Int, If you are the ones looking for mileage then its Java

Gowri Nandhan · Answer

I think INTERCEPTOR would be a better option as jawa does'nt have much GROUND CLEARANCE might be uncomfy even at some speedbreakers

Anirban Mukherjee · Answer

Jawa is a single cylinder 300cc bike which competes with the classic350 while the Interceptor is in an altogether different league & the two aren't exactly comparable. Interceptor is miles ahead in all respects.
