जावा 42 की क़ीमत पलानी में

I bought this bike with a total on-road price of 2.48 Lakhs in Bengaluru.
This bike is an absolute masterpiece as compared to its RE and other rivals.
It just looks retro-classy feels more comfortable and easier to ride and better turning radius than the RE classic version.
I got around 2000 for service.
Pros:
1. Better riding position even for short people (5.5 ft) on average.
2. Doesn't feel so heavy.
3. Awesome exhaust.
Cons:
1. I think the service cost is higher than RE.
2. Expensive spare parts.
3. Low mileage and more fuel efficiency were expected.

1. irrespective of price point it is a very good bike and the behaviour of the staff at the showroom is also very decent and cooperative. If you buy it for daily commuting you will not be disappointed.
2. the bike is a little bit high with a seat height of 810mm but believe me it feels like 830+ due to its wide seat it will be difficult for short riders to flat foot on the ground. But its ground clearance is not good it touches high bumps if you are riding with a healthy pillion.
It is very easy to ride in the city and on highways also.
Its wide tires give you extra confidence while cornering but it doesn't provide ABS in the rear disc brake so if you push it hard the rear wheel skids but it is manageable.
Next, the turning radius of the bike is not so good. You need a large space to take a complete U-turn.

I am facing constant mechanical failure from my jawa bike. Since the time of purchase, I am facing n number of challenges that weren’t rectified properly. And takes time to resolve.
In a span of six months, I have towed my vehicle to the service station three times due to mechanical failure.
Talking about the last incident my vehicle was towed to the service center due to mechanical failure. They said it would take three days to repair, however, it took two weeks to repair. After these two weeks, I received a call from the service center saying the vehicle is ready. When I received the vehicle from the service center the front brake was not effective even after changing the brake pad during the service. The total amount for the service was inr 22,000. I was surprised by the fact that even the brake was not rectified properly after changing the brake pad and charging a ‘labor charge’ for each individual item replaced or repaired and on top of that paid service charge and consumable charges.
I notified the service manager and they took the vehicle for inspection again. An hour later the manager informed me that it would take one more day. I returned to work from there. The vehicle was delivered to my workplace after a day saying it is in perfect condition now. The vehicle was not properly rectified even after that. While riding, the vehicle is getting off and not getting started. I took a video and informed the service manager. The same process happened again. They came took the vehicle, said it is rectified, and delivered it a day later. Again the same story. The same mechanical issue isn’t rectified. Informed them and they took my vehicle to the service center again.
In these three years of owning this vehicle, I have spent almost half the vehicle cost on services and repairs. This is my only vehicle and I depend on it on a daily basis for all my travel be it for work or other purposes. While comparing the ownership cost of other bikes in this category I feel that my choice to buy a Jawa product was a disaster. I feel cheated of my hard-earned money.
