Purchased this bike after

Purchased this bike a month ago engine is smooth the bike has good torque i am happy with over all performance of engine and breaking.However low ground clearance still a issue have to be careful on speed breakers.Digital cluster like yezdi roadster can be a great addition.The bike is delivering me consistent 28-29 kmpl so far.You need to be careful during gear shifts i ended up going neutral on the road but i believe it will take some time to adjust to it.There is no heating issue in bike as many people have been reporting actually it's hot air flow from cooling fan which flows towards riders legs as you are riding the bike.Not a fan of normal mirrors as i had to move back and forth to get road view properly( i see a part of my elbows which block part of traffic) thinking about bar end mirrors to fix this.Road presence is great people ask me about the bike.

Poor service

Very poor bike, Very poor service, Itna bada radiator lagaye hai aage tabbi engine itna zyda garam hota hai ki maano pair he jal jaayega.Pichle 15 mahine se paresaan hu rectifier aur suspension ke liye ye log bas kal kal bol rahe hai lekin parts de ni rahe hai bekar ground clearance, Breaker tak me gadi ladd jati hai.22 kmpl mileage mil raha hai.Time to time service karwa raha hu tbbi, Jawa is waste of money don't purchase 🙏 seriously ab tho mann krta hai ki ganga ji me baha aao bike bass 1 saal hua hai bike liye aur ek saal me isme 30k tak spare parts me kharch kr chuka hu.Sirf 8800km chalaya hu.Waste waste waste.

Smith engine

3.4

This is really good looking bike, You will feel the retro style.In highway, This performs like smith engine up to 85 kmph, Once it touch es 95, You will vibration thats managable.Cons: very poor mileage upto 30 kmpl in highways.Center stand design is worst, It toxuhes the road on bumbs and corner.If you slow down, That will be okay.

Exhaust sound

3.4

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.
