Its spares are worthless of their genuinity, they are looting money from the public in the name of genuine parts, vehicles get out of order any time between your important rides and create extreme frustration how to toe away to the agency, local mechanics deny from repairing this bike as it's spares are too costly to handle the comfortable ride, it's better to go for royal Enfield, you will not cry, jawa is a waste of money and your emotions, it's not at the level of the cruiser, it's just a simple motorcycle and they are just trying to create a brand to make their spare parts more expensive to recover their manufacturing costs.

    Adithya K Patel

    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.

  • Jawa 42 -The beast

    3 weeks ago


    Arjun

    The buying experience was so good as I bought the bike from a good dealer Jawa Gachibowli Showroom. The dealer has having good service center as well. I bought the bike with spot cash and it cost me around 2.5 Lakh on the road price. The riding experience is comfortable and you can easily ride long distances with Jawa 42. The looks are premium enough with stunning headlights and sidelights. The servicing is high enough and costs you around 2000 per service. The first 3 services are labor free. It gives you around 28 Kmpl in the city and 35+ on highways. The pros are performance with beast looks, premium feeling, and control at high speed. I can say cons like heating issues and it gives heat directly to legs and the key is not premium look-wise.

    Keep the bike under shadow and cover it with a bike cover as the bike comes with a mate finish and is prone to dust easily. Change the oil every 2500 kms for better maintenance and performance

  • Classic body type with Sporty engine.

    6 weeks ago


    Abhishek Lipare

    The buying and riding experience is good, but the low-end torque of gears is pretty low, so best bike for highway rides, avoid in-city rides with this bike.
    Looks and performance is top notch in 2.5 lacks, but mileage is very bad at city 22-24 kmpl. On the highway, you get mileage around 27.
    Servicing is nearly costly.
    Pros- 27 hp feels on the road.
    Cons - low ground clearance.

    Change oil after 3000km. the second at 6000 km or 6 months, the third at 12 months or 12000 km, and the fourth at 18000 km or 18 months. Issues: Ignition issues, Battery issues, Oil Gauge issues, Oxygen Sensor issues, utterly poor service centres, Chain issues. But now it was Amazing. There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem. Nowadays guindy service centre is doing good. My opinion is not a bad response to them.

    I purchased and using the vehicle since 2020. Since last year I have not used the bike daily and did not take the bike to the showroom for servicing. I am getting service remainder messages daily from last year despite informing them multiple times, still the messages keep on coming. mostly 2 messages daily for service remainder and sometimes 3 messages. I never experienced with other brands.

  • Jawa 42 -The beast

    3 weeks ago


    Arjun

    The buying experience was so good as I bought the bike from a good dealer Jawa Gachibowli Showroom. The dealer has having good service center as well. I bought the bike with spot cash and it cost me around 2.5 Lakh on the road price. The riding experience is comfortable and you can easily ride long distances with Jawa 42. The looks are premium enough with stunning headlights and sidelights. The servicing is high enough and costs you around 2000 per service. The first 3 services are labor free. It gives you around 28 Kmpl in the city and 35+ on highways. The pros are performance with beast looks, premium feeling, and control at high speed. I can say cons like heating issues and it gives heat directly to legs and the key is not premium look-wise.

    Keep the bike under shadow and cover it with a bike cover as the bike comes with a mate finish and is prone to dust easily. Change the oil every 2500 kms for better maintenance and performance

  • Classic body type with Sporty engine.

    6 weeks ago


    Abhishek Lipare

    The buying and riding experience is good, but the low-end torque of gears is pretty low, so best bike for highway rides, avoid in-city rides with this bike.
    Looks and performance is top notch in 2.5 lacks, but mileage is very bad at city 22-24 kmpl. On the highway, you get mileage around 27.
    Servicing is nearly costly.
    Pros- 27 hp feels on the road.
    Cons - low ground clearance.

    Change oil after 3000km. the second at 6000 km or 6 months, the third at 12 months or 12000 km, and the fourth at 18000 km or 18 months. Issues: Ignition issues, Battery issues, Oil Gauge issues, Oxygen Sensor issues, utterly poor service centres, Chain issues. But now it was Amazing. There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem. Nowadays guindy service centre is doing good. My opinion is not a bad response to them.

    I purchased and using the vehicle since 2020. Since last year I have not used the bike daily and did not take the bike to the showroom for servicing. I am getting service remainder messages daily from last year despite informing them multiple times, still the messages keep on coming. mostly 2 messages daily for service remainder and sometimes 3 messages. I never experienced with other brands.

  • The Czech marvel- Jawa 42

    1 week ago


    Adithya K Patel

    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.
