                • 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

                  Triumph Speed T4

                  • Good looking motorcycle with excellent fit and finish levels
                  • Good sounding exhaust note
                  • Fun to ride in the city with easy and smooth power delivery
                  • Fewer gear shifts required in the city for overtakes and commuting
                  • Comfortable ride quality with good bump absorption
                • 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

                  Triumph Speed T4

                  • Looks too similar to the Triumph Speed 400
                  • Misses out on premium features and components like inverted front fork
                  • Highway performance is compromised for better city rideability
                  • Weighs 4kg more than the Speed 400

                  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.

                  It was a quite good Experience
                  The bike offers a great riding experience, it's comfortable to ride, and has good mileage. There's absolutely no wobbling on the highway, and its braking system is also very good. The bike is in excellent condition and has been properly serviced. In short, the bike is in top condition and has never been in an accident.

                  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.

                  Style meets speed
                  It does provides stylish look along with the two silencers and after removing the db killers the sound is just so bassy and thumping which one can feel as majority of the customers remove it and it doesnt impact the engine as per the company and secondary it provides amazing suspension along with smooth gear change in highway or cities along with low vibration and highend speed of massive 145kmph which is more than its competitors offering 300 or 350CC and it feel unique when you take it out and majority of peoples ask about its features and other things about it and praise it I personally felt the look and performance which this bike gives is unmatched as it is quick and easy to handle both two in one I have been riding this bike since a long time now for more than approx 3 years and I definitely feel that the performance or the power it provides is unmatched as I have been taking it to Himachal Sunday Rides and even to places like manali atal tunnel chandartaal lake and kaza with my riding group and they tell me its amazing as they rode it too providing comfort and safety and talking about the city rides sometimes it becomes a little hectic to carry around as the engine gets heated too much in summers not much in winters but summers time is not easy to carry this bike around in cities I would definitely recommend this bike to a specific group of people who are looking or interested more in performance over the mileage as both things cant be combined in a single bike where best performance and best mileage is provided It provides decent mileage in cities of around 23 to 26kmpl and around 30 to 35kmpl in highways or mountains depending upon the riding style and slopes In cities sometimes it becomes difficult to carry around because of the heating issue but it is not unbearable so it can be managed accordingly if ones looking forward to it the last thing is serviceability of workshops which are very far away from remote areas as even in tricity there is only one workshop which is mohali so as I am living in zirakpur i have to go there once in 6 months which feels a bit far away and lastly i want to share that I met with an accident where dogs came in front of my bike and to save them I had to apply both brakes and my speed was around 50-60kmph and the bike slipped with disbalance and skid to around 200 meters with me being on the bike but the best thing was that the leg guard save my leg and there was just minor injuries with no fracture which I am thankful of

                  Excellent Bike for City Users and Highway ride
                  I choose this bike to because I loved the design, power, pickup and the presence of the bike as per sales person suggested me to choose T400 for City use as such it's more comfortable upright posture and best bike. Bike gives excellent response on corners, traffic, on long rides I had few rides from Pune to Gujarat it felt comfortable on long rides and it's seat height is more it gives more ground clearance on offroad . I would recommend it to All People Working, want to have a daily commute bike it has feel of luxury, a British motorcycle that's fun to ride, feel, road presences with good looks that's too in great price under two lacs rupees

                  Low mileage, high maintenance, uncomfortable rear
                  I bought this bike purely based on the spec sheet and it's aggressive pricing challenging meteor and classic 350 which it out weighs in specs by a mile. The position is also very non aggressive and the only triumph which didn't give me wrist pain and that lovely lovely smooth gear box . The mileage performance has been horrible even though I try my best to keep it between 4-6k rpm going out of my way to face discomfort and vibrations but barely got 22 in city also the rear suspension seems to not work at all. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying there first bike to get this I am already regretting is the power is too much for a beginner and the maintainance is too high. I think the xsr or the highness will be better vfm and more reasonable as a first bike with low maintainance cost and smooth engines.

                  Highly recommended bike Triumph Speed T4
                  I choose this bike because of it's attractive look and affordable price and comfortable ride. This bike provides a better and comfortable riding experience which is it's best attribute . It's mileage is also better than other roasters which makes it better. The riding experience is one of the best I had on any of the bikes I ever had. This bike's efficiency and design is appreciable. The thing that makes riding on this bike better is it's design and featured seats. I would recommend this bike for sure. If you are looking for a bike which gives you best riding experience with good looks and comfortable riding in affordable price then I would strongly recommend this bike

                  A 1000 KM review
                  I was searching for a better ride option I had multiple options like hunter 350, jawa 42, yezdi, cb350, x440 but after comparing with them I found t4 to be a better product than all for me, As it offers better torque power and ease to ride option. I have done multiple long trips as well as rode it on city roads as well I found it in city it overheats a lot while in traffic or riding it in smaller gear on the other hand I cruised the bike for a long time on highways and there is no issue in it. Front Suspension can be better for multiple riders as it offers telescopic but it is also a personal choice for me it does not affect a lot. Yes, I can recommend the bike but before buying make sure what you want if you want to just roam around, go for a commuter I must say but you have mixed usage which most of riders have, thn go for this machine.
