Jawa 42 [2018-2023] Price in Pimpri-Chinchwad

WHERE THE INDIAN MARKET FOR CRUISERS IS DOMINATED BY ROYAL ENFIELD'S JAWA AS A BRAND PROVIDES A CRUISER WITH NOT ONLY APPEALING LOOKS BUT PERMORMANCE WHICH LACKS IN MANY CRUISERS OF THIS SEGMENT.
BUYING EXPERIENCE:
JAWA WAS NOT MY 1ST OPTION BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TEST RIDE OF JAWA 42 BIKE I IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS BIKE IS MADE FOR ME BUT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS JAWA HAS A REPUTATION OF AN AVERAGE DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER RELATION, TO MY SUPRISE THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I PURCHASED MY BIKE WERE RESPONSIVE AND VERY HELPFUL IN PROVIDING EACH AND EVERY INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIKE AND SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES OF THE SAME.
THE BIKE WAS IN A FLAWLESS CONDITION WITH A PROPER PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION FROM THE OFFICIALS CONDUCTED IN FRONT OF ME. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND SUPPORTIVE AND EXPLAINED EACH AND EVERY MINUTE DETAILS OF THE BIKE. NOT ONLY THE PROCESS WAS SMOOTH BUT WAS FAST AS WITHIN 5 DAYS OF BOOKING MY BIKE FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE OF RS2000 I GOT MY DELIVERY FROM THE CHINCHWAD DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN PUNE.
THUS, BUYING EXPERIENCE OF JAWA WAS QUITE GOOD AND IT CHANGED MY IMPRESSION OF JAWA COMPLETELY IN A POSITIVE WAY.
RIDING EXPERIENCE
JAWA 42 COMES WITH AN UPRIGHT POSITION WITH FOOTPEGS ALIGNED NEAR THE ENGINE WHICH RATHER GIVES AN AGGRESIVE RIDING POSITION DIFFERENT THAN THE TYPICAL CRUISER BIKES FROM ROYAL ENFIELD OR HONDA.RIDING EXPERIENCE OF JAWA IS DECENT AS IT PROVIDES THAT RUSH THAT FEEL OF A NAKED SPORTS BIKE OF 200 OR 250 CC BIKE IN A CRUISER DUE TO ITS TERIFFIC RAW ENGINE IT PROVIDES A RIDE WHERE YOU SIMPLY WANT TO OPEN THE THROTTLE AND REV IT TO ITS LIMITS.
COMFORT IS NOT UP TO THE MARK AS IT LACKS PROPER CUSHIONING OF SEATS WHICH WIIL MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO RIDE BEYOND 100KMS ALSO EXCEPT PERFORMANCE WHICH IS THE USP OF JAWA 42 RIDING COMFORT AND VISIBILITY MAINLY FROM THE ROUND MIRRORS IS COMPROMISED AND CAN BE BETTER.
PERFORMANCE:
THE JAWA 42 COMES WITH A 293 CC LIQUID COOLED SINGLE CYLINDER ENGINE THAT PRODUCES ROUGHLY 27 PS OF POWER AND 26 NM OF TORQUE WHICH IS THE USP OF JAWA 42 OVER OTHER CRUISERS OF THIS SEGMENT.
PERMORMANCE IS ABSOLUTELY BONKERS AS IT IS A HIGH REVING ENGINE AND HAS ALL CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPORTS BIKE.THROTTLE RESPONSE IS VERY PUNCHY AND ALWAYS IS EAGER TO PUSH ITSELF, WITH SUCH A PERMORMANCE OVERTAKING SOMEONE IS NEVER A DIFFICULTY IN THE JAWA 42. OVERALL THE GEARING IS RESPONSIVE AND FITS VERY WELL WITH THE ENGINE GIVING OUT AN UNMATCHED PERMORMANCE. IT ACHIEVES 0 TO 100 IN JUST 10.28 SECONDS AND ALSO REACHES A TOP SPEED OF 134 KM IN NO TIME. THOUGH TOP END IS NOT THAT LIVELY AS THE MIDRANGE OFTHIS BIKE AS IT HAS SHORTER GEARING RATIOS.
ROAD PRESENCE AND OVERALL LOOKS :
THE ALL BLACK COLOR WHICH I PURCHASED IS AN ABSOLUTE HEAD TURNER PEOPLE WILL COME SPECIALLY FOR YOUR BIKE AND COMPLIMENT THE LOOKS, ALSO THE BIKE GIVES A RETRO MODERN LOOK AND A PREMIUM FEEL TO THE RIDER WITH ATTENTION FROM EACH AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. INSTALLING A FLYSCREEN AND HEADLIGHT GRILL WILL MAKE IT VISUALLY APPEALING AND BADASS. FIT AND FINISH QUALITY IS DECENT BUT CAN BE IMRPOVED AS WIRING ESPECIALLY NEAR THE HANDLE OF THE BIKE DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON SUCH A GOOD LOOKING BIKE.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE:
JAWA PROVIDES 4 FREE SERVICES WHERE LABOUR CHARGES ARE FREE AS 1ST SERVICING BECOMES DUE ON 1000KM OR 3 MONTHS WHICH EVER IS EARLIER FROM PURCHASE OF THE BIKE. AFTER 1ST SERVICE NEXT SERVICE IS DUE AFTER EVRY 6 MONTHS OR 5000KM WHICH EVER IS EARLIER.
AVERAGE COST OF SERVICING IS :RS2000-2500 WITH OIL COOLENT CHANGE BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKE PADS SERVICING WITH WASH AND POLISHING OF VEHICLE WITH GEAR LUBING.

About the Reviewer

It was a great experience the riding is awesome dual tone colour theme looks phenomenal servicing if done on time you will not face any problems with maintenance digital instruments cluster shows everything from gear to side stand cutoff Sencor if you fill the tank you can easily cruise on highway for more than 350 km
Just 1 thing they should have is GPS / maps

About the Reviewer

Jawa 42 is definitely costly than the bullet 350 but it's worth it, while riding you'll feel the redline pull is greater than the normal rpm.
Road presence is awesome as it rolls heads of the people.
Services offered by the Jawa is too good and maintenance cost is pocket friendly.
Jawa is one of the oldest company than royal Enfield and also has more power and pull in redline as compared to other bikes. And basically it is bike where you can ride on the daily basis.
It's bike which is touring not for racing, and don't try to lean on jawa 42 because of it's ground clearance.
