    Jawa 4.2.1 is a good bike to visual appeal its power was better than royal enfield 350 classic, Honda highness, meteor 350. Riding experience was very good, better than other brands in same segment. Very soon am going buy this jawa 4.2.1 300cc bike. Ready to buy it. For others my recommendation is to take test ride then you can go for it .

  • Poor reliability.

    2 years ago


    Kallol Sarkar

    It's a horrible thing that happened in my life. At 7000 km had to change the magnetic coil, at 10000 engine started missing out, and at 15000 had to change gaskit, rectifier, and magnetic coil again. Stalling issue still persists after several reminders to the service center. Worst built quality and service experience ever.

  • Best bike i have ever seen

    28 weeks ago


    Gourab Kumar Dash

    This is the best bike I've ever seen, I ride many bikes but I say that this is the best bike than RE and Yezdi, a lovely bike. I can ride this for 1 year and It is the best bike than Hunter 350. But the main problem is Jawa didn't provide more accesories with this. I bought it from off market.

  • Jawa 42 -The beast

    38 weeks ago


    Arjun

    The buying experience was so good as I bought the bike from a good dealer Jawa Gachibowli Showroom. The dealer has having good service center as well. I bought the bike with spot cash and it cost me around 2.5 Lakh on the road price. The riding experience is comfortable and you can easily ride long distances with Jawa 42. The looks are premium enough with stunning headlights and sidelights. The servicing is high enough and costs you around 2000 per service. The first 3 services are labor free. It gives you around 28 Kmpl in the city and 35+ on highways. The pros are performance with beast looks, premium feeling, and control at high speed. I can say cons like heating issues and it gives heat directly to legs and the key is not premium look-wise.

    Keep the bike under shadow and cover it with a bike cover as the bike comes with a mate finish and is prone to dust easily. Change the oil every 2500 kms for better maintenance and performance

  • Best competitor and killer for Enfield

    6 years ago


    Syam Sundar

    best in class bike.Instead of buying Enfield Jawa is the best option to buy.I love it and enjoy the ride with it.The royal look and classic model with a newly 27bhp powered engine gives a good pick up and vibration less engine.In my words it's better than royal Enfield in every aspect. Thanks to Mahindra group for bringing it back again.

  • Good bike to ride

    47 weeks ago


    Abid Sufiyan

    The buying experience was not very satisfying. The riding experience is awesome, and outstanding balancing good work Jawa. If it comes to looks, the Jawa 42 is better than the RE bullet. Servicing and maintenance are honestly very high.
    There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem.

  • Jawa is not a value for money look for something else.

    2 years ago


    Arif

    Buying experience was not good as the waiting period was 7 months.
    Riding experience: there is very much discomfort in this bike due to poor rear suspension and wrong seating posture. It very stiff at rear. Gear ratio is not good and you will get tired of frequent gear changes. Even the gear box and clutch are very hard to move. You can only enjoy this bike on highway for short period of time that also on 5 and 6 gear. Gear ratio from 1 - 4 is useless.
    The bike has only good looks and my one rating is for looks only otherwise this bike has zero rating.
    This bikes will cost you a lot (3-5k) even after changing parts in warranty. It will be even worst after warranty. Service is also not good. I am tired of carrying my to service center , leaving it for a month after that also my issue was not resolved several times. My bike is 3 years old, i have changes almost every part of engine still bike struggles to cross 90km/h . I have also changed wiring which does not come in warranty which i feel was defective since the bike was new.
    Pros: looks, engine power, metal body.
    Cons: poor quality of parts (swing arm, silencers, fan, rear break, chain sprocket, rims), riding discomfort, odd seating posture, low ground clearance for indian roads, poor wiring. Less service centers.

    best in class bike.Instead of buying Enfield Jawa is the best option to buy.I love it and enjoy the ride with it.The royal look and classic model with a newly 27bhp powered engine gives a good pick up and vibration less engine.In my words it's better than royal Enfield in every aspect. Thanks to Mahindra group for bringing it back again.

  • Good bike to ride

    47 weeks ago


    Abid Sufiyan

    The buying experience was not very satisfying. The riding experience is awesome, and outstanding balancing good work Jawa. If it comes to looks, the Jawa 42 is better than the RE bullet. Servicing and maintenance are honestly very high.
    There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem.

    Riding experience is very good. Service, details is very well. I wish one day I will buy this bike. Very good experience. I ride this in dumdum Kolkata. Overall I ride 50 to 60 km...Experience is very good. I also driven royal enfield bullet 350 bs6. I think Jawa 42 is better than royal enfield bullet 350.

  • Jawa is not a value for money look for something else.

    2 years ago


    Arif

    Buying experience was not good as the waiting period was 7 months.
    Riding experience: there is very much discomfort in this bike due to poor rear suspension and wrong seating posture. It very stiff at rear. Gear ratio is not good and you will get tired of frequent gear changes. Even the gear box and clutch are very hard to move. You can only enjoy this bike on highway for short period of time that also on 5 and 6 gear. Gear ratio from 1 - 4 is useless.
    The bike has only good looks and my one rating is for looks only otherwise this bike has zero rating.
    This bikes will cost you a lot (3-5k) even after changing parts in warranty. It will be even worst after warranty. Service is also not good. I am tired of carrying my to service center , leaving it for a month after that also my issue was not resolved several times. My bike is 3 years old, i have changes almost every part of engine still bike struggles to cross 90km/h . I have also changed wiring which does not come in warranty which i feel was defective since the bike was new.
    Pros: looks, engine power, metal body.
    Cons: poor quality of parts (swing arm, silencers, fan, rear break, chain sprocket, rims), riding discomfort, odd seating posture, low ground clearance for indian roads, poor wiring. Less service centers.

  • Dream bike

    3 years ago


    Md Mubeen Sharif

    Jawa 4.2.1 is a good bike to visual appeal its power was better than royal enfield 350 classic, Honda highness, meteor 350. Riding experience was very good, better than other brands in same segment. Very soon am going buy this jawa 4.2.1 300cc bike. Ready to buy it. For others my recommendation is to take test ride then you can go for it .

  • Poor reliability.

    2 years ago


    Kallol Sarkar

    It's a horrible thing that happened in my life. At 7000 km had to change the magnetic coil, at 10000 engine started missing out, and at 15000 had to change gaskit, rectifier, and magnetic coil again. Stalling issue still persists after several reminders to the service center. Worst built quality and service experience ever.

  • Best bike i have ever seen

    28 weeks ago


    Gourab Kumar Dash

    This is the best bike I've ever seen, I ride many bikes but I say that this is the best bike than RE and Yezdi, a lovely bike. I can ride this for 1 year and It is the best bike than Hunter 350. But the main problem is Jawa didn't provide more accesories with this. I bought it from off market.

  • Jawa 42 -The beast

    38 weeks ago


    Arjun

    The buying experience was so good as I bought the bike from a good dealer Jawa Gachibowli Showroom. The dealer has having good service center as well. I bought the bike with spot cash and it cost me around 2.5 Lakh on the road price. The riding experience is comfortable and you can easily ride long distances with Jawa 42. The looks are premium enough with stunning headlights and sidelights. The servicing is high enough and costs you around 2000 per service. The first 3 services are labor free. It gives you around 28 Kmpl in the city and 35+ on highways. The pros are performance with beast looks, premium feeling, and control at high speed. I can say cons like heating issues and it gives heat directly to legs and the key is not premium look-wise.
