Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Jawa 350
- The updated design and styling look premium and retro; really classy
- More refined engine than before which is also peppy and exciting
- Gets an upright riding position, which can also be a bit sporty with the raised and slightly rear-set footpegs
Jawa 42
- The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
- Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway
- The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment

Jawa 350
- The imbalance in suspension tuning makes it awkward to go through potholes
- Can feel vibrations on the handlebar and footpegs after 100kmph
Jawa 42
- Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
- Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

Jawa 350 Standard
The bike was good but the service is not good as they say everything as manufacturing defect. But has a great torque. The best thing for the bike is the seating comfortablity which is top notch. Also the bike doesn't heat up as some other 350cc bikes. Coming to mileage, it is just 24-27Kmpl which is not I expected.

Jawa 350 is suitable for me
Jawa 350 Standard is a bike that can be referred to as timeless as all the features it possesses. The Indian market has a healthy appetite for motorcycles, especially those that are retro styled. With a 350cc engine, it provides suitable power and relief for the city or for highways and anywhere in between. There might be some riders who think that its handling and technological aspects are not on par with those of the current generation. Anyway, if timeless designs coupled with functionality are your cup of tea, then the Jawa 350 Standard may be suitable for you.

An absolute pleasure to ride
I am very excited to have ridden Jawa 350. It is an absolute pleasure to ride. When I get on the bike it takes me back in time and takes me down memory lane. When I start the engine I enjoy a great sound and fast forward motion and the brakes are awesome. I feel very confident driving it. I can't describe this feeling in words. You have to ride it to feel it.

Jawa 42: Retro Style, Modern Ride, Pure Dil Se Re
Maine Jawa 42 choose ki kyunki iska retro-modern look aur classic exhaust sound kaafi unique feel deta hai. Ride smooth aur comfortable hai, chahe city traffic ho ya highway. Engine performance strong hai aur bike ka style personality ko bhi highlight karta hai. Ride ab tak kaafi smooth aur enjoyable rahi hai. City traffic mein bike easy handle hoti hai, suspension comfortable lagta hai aur engine refined feel deta hai. Highway pe stability aur pickup dono confidence dete hain, overall ride ka experience satisfying hai. Yes, main is bike ko recommend zaroor karunga. Jawa 42 stylish look, comfortable ride aur balanced performance deti hai. Daily commute se leke weekend rides tak kaafi enjoyable experience milta hai. Value for money bhi acchi lagti hai.

My Two wheeler
Feels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.
