          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

          • Royal Enfield Hunter 350

            • The pricing is exceptionally competitive
            • The most lightweight and user-friendly Royal Enfield motorcycle for riding
            • The styling is spot-on as a retro-roadster

            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 Hunter 350

            • The engine lacks performance to match the exceptional handling capabilities of the bike
            • The absence of a slipper clutch results in a heavier clutch action
            • The rear suspension feels firm

            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

            Riding experience is great.
            Riding experience is great. I can do sharp corners at 100kmh and still not fall. Rides like butter. Must buy. Once I traveled from Kanpur to Mumbai without stopping and didn't feel tired. I could cover the distance in 30 hours. My brother sits in the backseat when I drive and he enjoys it very much. I love this bike.

            About jawa42
            I'm loving the classic modern design of the Jawa 42! 🤩 The twin exhaust adds a touch of retro charm. Plus, the high pickup and top speed make it a blast to ride. It's perfect for long rides with its impressive mileage and reliable brakes. Anyone else a fan of this beauty? #Jawa42 #Motorcycle #ClassicModern

            Bike is in exceptional good condition as less driven by me. I had to move to banglore this didn’t get much time to drive it. I have full service record till date of timely maintenance. If you are looking for a bike which is very less driven than this is the chance to grab it as early as possible. Price is negotiable but not too much.

            Good looking and heavy performance , above average comfort, design can be modified, more dashing with double silencer and many more. Two people can comfortably sit. It have a good price but not so much features and exhaust note is also poor in comparison to hunter 350 still having double silencer . So it totally depends upon u
