    I just took it's test drive after a drive to re classic 350 signal. It's power is awesome. The person siting on it feels like he is riding a luxurious bike. Ride is very comfortable. No or less vibration than that of royal enfield. Planned to buy this bike with latest bs6 engine. Suggesting you to buy this bike for sure.Thanks.

    The jawa 42.2 is a stylish and modern bike that offers a unique riding experience. The bike's retro design is combined with modern features, such as a fuel-injected engine and a digital instrument cluster. The bike's 293cc engine provides ample power and torque, making it a great choice for both city and highway riding. The bike's suspension system is well-tuned, providing a comfortable ride even on bumpy roads. The Jawa 42.2 also features disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, ensuring reliable stopping power. The bike's low seat height and lightweight design make it easy to handle, even for novice riders. Overall, the Jawa 42.2 is a great choice for anyone looking for a stylish and modern bike that offers a unique riding experience. It is really a great experience to ride this bike and I really appreciate this bike, however, there are some cons of this bike too like engine light error and the service centers are available in only big cities.

  • Very bad experience

    16 weeks ago


    Abhay Bagde

    I had a very bad experience, it happened that my bike fell 5 days back and after 5 days the fan got jammed and the wiring got burnt, I took it to the service center and they said that since the bike had fallen then a claim will have to be made in the insurance, I said ok, the claim people did not pass the wiring whose cost was 13000 and neither did the company pass it in warranty and every month some fault or the other keeps occurring, there is a lot of maintenance if someone wants to buy it then think carefully before buying it, it is better to buy Royal Enfield than this.

    Jawa is awsome. its looks sexy and attractive. I going to own it soon. Jawa is a legendary bike as for the ideal cruising speed, the owner of the bike says that it is best ridden at around 80 km/h when driving.

  • Its always my dream to get a bike which has a history

    1 year ago


    Shiva

    I always thought of getting an old classic machine because my dad used to have a Yezdi road king when I'm very young, so I grew up seeing a double exhaust system no other bikes used to have at that time, I used to feel like me and my dad on a Harley with a punching dual exhaust but sadly they are discontinued back then in India. so when Jawa decide re-launch it again in India my dreams are actually getting real, I got the all-star black and the machine was so sexy and ultimately matte-finished all over the bike. The riding experience was outstanding because the 293cc engine produces 27 bhp power which makes the machine roar like a mad bull and beats all the other rival machines in the 300 cc segment is no joke in that price range and comes with a liquid-cooled engine, the seating position is little aggressive, the seat was hard and can't ride for long rides but if you change the seating that will be sorted. The suspension was also a little hard but it will be okay if you ask the service guy to lose the suspension for 2 steps. Radiator heat was bearable compared to any other RE engine heat if it's winter you can use the radiator heat as hands and legs is warmer funny right yeah. over the machine is incredible.

  • Worst Regret

    2 years ago


    Karan

    The worst motorcycle you could ever choose. Worst after-sales service you could ever experience. Pathetic and unprofessional staff at KK Motors Bandra. The rc book received has a red color mentioned on it whereas my bike is blue. The people at the dealership refused to get the Rc book rectified saying it's my problem, not theirs. Engine sound is just terrible even after regular services and it's pretty expensive.

    Jawa is awsome. its looks sexy and attractive. I going to own it soon. Jawa is a legendary bike as for the ideal cruising speed, the owner of the bike says that it is best ridden at around 80 km/h when driving.

  • Its always my dream to get a bike which has a history

    1 year ago


    Shiva

    I always thought of getting an old classic machine because my dad used to have a Yezdi road king when I'm very young, so I grew up seeing a double exhaust system no other bikes used to have at that time, I used to feel like me and my dad on a Harley with a punching dual exhaust but sadly they are discontinued back then in India. so when Jawa decide re-launch it again in India my dreams are actually getting real, I got the all-star black and the machine was so sexy and ultimately matte-finished all over the bike. The riding experience was outstanding because the 293cc engine produces 27 bhp power which makes the machine roar like a mad bull and beats all the other rival machines in the 300 cc segment is no joke in that price range and comes with a liquid-cooled engine, the seating position is little aggressive, the seat was hard and can't ride for long rides but if you change the seating that will be sorted. The suspension was also a little hard but it will be okay if you ask the service guy to lose the suspension for 2 steps. Radiator heat was bearable compared to any other RE engine heat if it's winter you can use the radiator heat as hands and legs is warmer funny right yeah. over the machine is incredible.

  • Worst Regret

    2 years ago


    Karan

    The worst motorcycle you could ever choose. Worst after-sales service you could ever experience. Pathetic and unprofessional staff at KK Motors Bandra. The rc book received has a red color mentioned on it whereas my bike is blue. The people at the dealership refused to get the Rc book rectified saying it's my problem, not theirs. Engine sound is just terrible even after regular services and it's pretty expensive.

    best in its segment in the performance by seeing its numbers and the classic look which more competition to its rival , where as it rival royal enfield as been worst in its quality and performance , so hoping for the best in jawa. it would be better given disc at rear also and the thing is that is " jawa ".

    Gurjeet Singh

    I just took it's test drive after a drive to re classic 350 signal. It's power is awesome. The person siting on it feels like he is riding a luxurious bike. Ride is very comfortable. No or less vibration than that of royal enfield. Planned to buy this bike with latest bs6 engine. Suggesting you to buy this bike for sure.Thanks.

    The jawa 42.2 is a stylish and modern bike that offers a unique riding experience. The bike's retro design is combined with modern features, such as a fuel-injected engine and a digital instrument cluster. The bike's 293cc engine provides ample power and torque, making it a great choice for both city and highway riding. The bike's suspension system is well-tuned, providing a comfortable ride even on bumpy roads. The Jawa 42.2 also features disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, ensuring reliable stopping power. The bike's low seat height and lightweight design make it easy to handle, even for novice riders. Overall, the Jawa 42.2 is a great choice for anyone looking for a stylish and modern bike that offers a unique riding experience. It is really a great experience to ride this bike and I really appreciate this bike, however, there are some cons of this bike too like engine light error and the service centers are available in only big cities.

  • Very bad experience

    16 weeks ago


    Abhay Bagde

    I had a very bad experience, it happened that my bike fell 5 days back and after 5 days the fan got jammed and the wiring got burnt, I took it to the service center and they said that since the bike had fallen then a claim will have to be made in the insurance, I said ok, the claim people did not pass the wiring whose cost was 13000 and neither did the company pass it in warranty and every month some fault or the other keeps occurring, there is a lot of maintenance if someone wants to buy it then think carefully before buying it, it is better to buy Royal Enfield than this.
