Jawa 42 price in Jaisalmer

The product quality is very poor. After 3 months from purchase, the paint gets peeled off. Problem got raised from different parts, petrol tank, shockers(black) and even rusting issues in rear shockers (nickle) and other parts too.
So regarding their worst service and poor paint quality and rusting issues, i was forced to file the case against the company in consumer court. As I have invested a big hard cash amount of money in the bike and even after log in the complaint against them, the dealer refuse to provide me the 4th free service, which I got through legal notice.
As my case is already in the consumer court case against the classic legends and the jodhpur dealer, so my advice is that you should not purchase the jawa bike and don't put up your hard cash money in these bikes who are not having proper infrastructure to provide the after sales service to the consumer, when their bikes are already in the warranty period.

About the Reviewer

I've been wanting a decent but affordable cruiser bike for city and occasional highway rides for a while now. Like most other cases, the usual suspects like the classic 350, meteor 350, and avenger 220 come to mind. But the moment I saw jawa 42 2.1 on my desktop screen first was a memorable one. The test rides of these bikes made me want to get the jawa even more, and thankfully, the folks at the jawa dealership were as helpful, cooperative, and more importantly, understanding as they can be, so nothing really made me have any second thoughts.
The first few days after buying the bike are always magical. I was finding reasons left and right to take the bike for a spin, and it surprisingly hasn't gotten old after 6 months (maybe that's because I've been riding dad's passion plus for 5 years before this so there's a massive difference)
Compared to its closest rival, the classic 350, the jawa stands out in a crowd like a sore thumb. The matte black 2.1 edition won my heart and gave me more second looks from other people than a re can. All 3 colors look great, and I do not regret choosing the black option one bit. Things like alloy wheels, bar-end mirrors, off-set racing stripe, 'classic legends' engravings and embellishments all over the body, and functioning dual exhaust are all standard in the bike and go a long way to make the bike look like something from a higher price range.
The jawa is easier to maneuver in bustling city streets thanks to a 20 kgs lighter body and slightly neutral position than the classic. The seats are also a bit dense in the jawa, so longer rides will be less painful on your butt. The ~7 bhp difference between the two is pretty noticeable too, and the extra 6th gear is a big advantage on highways (it's an actual gear, not overdrive mode or any other gimmicky thing). The liquid cooling kicks in when needed, and makes a noise that's audible up to 30-40 kmph. Speaking of, I like the quieter but still melodic sound of the jawa more than the classic thumping of a re, which I also like.
My biggest fear was regarding the stuff that comes after buying the bike. Like a successful maruti or hyundai, you don't have to lose any sleep over stuff like service centers, parts availability, and affordability if you own a royal enfield. The 1-month/1000 km and 6-month/6,000 km services of my 42 2.1 went by smooth as butter with reminder calls before the service, proper slot booking, and after-service feedback and all. It didn't take more time than other brands, and the quality was good enough. Regarding maintenance, you'll need to perform the regular tasks like chain lubing (this one has o-ring chains so make sure to take care of them) every once in a while. Tubeless tires are a neat addition, and the mileage is similar to the competition wearing classic and meteor badges.
But like all things, the 42 isn't perfect. The fit and finish are not as great as enfields, the bar-end mirrors look cool but make you change your head position to get a complete view of what's happening in the back, and the low ground clearance makes me clench my butt when I face a big bump. Turning and handling are easier than re but you'll have to be more precise with your gearing and throttle to stop the engine from stalling. If you want to customize your ride, the re cruisers are still the ones to go for, jawa is new and some places have parts and components to make your ride your own, but it'll take quite a while before it's as accessible as the royal enfield network.
So there you have it, I had somewhat of an idea of what I was getting into, and I have to live with a couple of annoying issues, but the pros outweigh the cons by a mile for me, and I do not regret buying the 42 2.1 one bit. The mid-range throttle response is very good, especially in the first 3 gears, and to my surprise, the feeling hasn't worn out yet. Hopefully, now you have a bit more idea about what you're getting into when you walk into the dealership.
