                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350

                  • Comes in four unique and beautiful colour options which really standout
                  • Gets a mini ape hanger style handlebar and forward set footpegs which translate to a relaxed riding posture
                  • Seat height is just 750mm which makes it accessible to short riders as well

                  Jawa 42

                  • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
                  • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
                  • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy
                • Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350

                  • The brakes are not sharp enough
                  • The motorcycle may feel cramped if you are above 6 feet in height

                  Jawa 42

                  • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
                  • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

                  Eye catchy
                  The design is stand out so will give 5/5 for that. Performance and mileage also great. The comfort for long ride isn’t Upto the mark and the pillion seat is ridiculous it should have a back rest. Overall it’s great but can improve the head lights and pillion seat. The pricing is also good. Go for it

                  A good first bike
                  Quite capable bike you feel it. The retro design, thumping exhaust, and smooth 349cc engine make every ride special. It’s super comfortable for long trips, and the new J-series engine cuts down vibrations. Mileage is decent (35-40 kmpl), and braking feels safe. If you love old-school charm with modern reliability, this bike is a perfect companion!

                  Speedy Bike
                  A good bike under this price range. We will accept this bike for mileage and speed tork is also better. This bike is more better if this service is good . After sale service need to be better performance. Color and features also good and best for my side. My one of the favourite bike jawa 42 and other 42 segments.

                  I own this bike since 2022
                  I own this bike since 2022 it was fun to ride it but also had some flaws with its transmission whenever i used to down shift to 2nd or first gear it stops the engine I went to service station several times but it used to stop just for some days. Other than this it is a good bike to ride in city and very comfortable for long rides. And parts are not easily available.

                  Performance
                  Very good performance at this price range & comfort is quite good... overall looks are good seat a disadvantage is the seat height moreover about the pillion comfort is great if I'm the pillion no doubt I would choose this bike as my primary bike... and the good part is it isn't really heat as much as bullet 350

                  It's good until you are not beigner
                  The Jawa 42 blends classic charm with a sporty touch. Its 293cc engine offers smooth power, but mileage is around 30-34 kmpl. The low seat height makes it easy to handle, though the stiff suspension can be harsh. Build quality issues and limited service centers affect maintenance. A stylish but high-maintenance choice.
