    Have a Jawa 42 starlight blue since oct'20.Brilliant experience right from the test drive. The staff at the dealership is extremely courteous(Noida) and gave me all basic accessories free.
    Ride-vibration free powerful performance, great exhaust note that can be adjusted at the service center for bass/loudness. Does not copy re thump. 27bhp@300 cc
    Looks-gets a lot of eye balls when on the road none looks like it in the segment.
    Service easy on the pocket 6000 km interval or 6 months/uses very less engine oil
    It has a radiator so blows hot air through a fan and coolant, people think its getting this is not the case!
    Con-low ground clearance due to center stand, adjusted suspension and tyre pressure @35psi fixes it.
    Seat is hard-spent 1400 to add extra cushion.

    I have booked this bike, major drawback is that it has a long waiting period ranging from 05 to 06 months. I have taken a test ride on that and seen it has best option under 02 lakhs category and best then royal enfield. I am planning to buy royal enfield thunderbird 350x but changed my plan and book jawa.

  • Visually, it's the best thing

    3 years ago


    Sangesh.K

    Classic variant design looks good. Long riding is not comfortable as so much heat is produced from engine. Tank capacity is low. Speedometer is not comfortable and ground clearance is very low with unsatisfied riding. Suspension is so hard. Radiator sound is heavy. Not value for value unlike Royal Enfield Classic 350. Totally a Light weight machine.

  • Excellent bike

    1 year ago


    Muhammed Fazil

    Amazing overall. The seat is a little harder. From 0 to 450km I ride from calicut to bangalore. The ride was amazing. I'm trying to replace the seat. The seat is looking superb but comfort is harder. Performance is massive. Excellent power delivery. This is an excellent bike for the long rides also. Jawa only gives helmet and crash guard. Accessories are not available in the after-market. We need to buy everything from the Jawa dealer, but they have only limited accessories also. Jawa calicut dealers have no idea about some accessories also. I will write my second review after my first service.
    Thank you Jawa for the wonderful experience with the "classic legend"

    Jawa 4.2.1 is a good bike to visual appeal its power was better than royal enfield 350 classic, Honda highness, meteor 350. Riding experience was very good, better than other brands in same segment. Very soon am going buy this jawa 4.2.1 300cc bike. Ready to buy it. For others my recommendation is to take test ride then you can go for it .

    Amazing overall. The seat is a little harder. From 0 to 450km I ride from calicut to bangalore. The ride was amazing. I'm trying to replace the seat. The seat is looking superb but comfort is harder. Performance is massive. Excellent power delivery. This is an excellent bike for the long rides also. Jawa only gives helmet and crash guard. Accessories are not available in the after-market. We need to buy everything from the Jawa dealer, but they have only limited accessories also. Jawa calicut dealers have no idea about some accessories also. I will write my second review after my first service.
    Thank you Jawa for the wonderful experience with the "classic legend"

    Jawa 4.2.1 is a good bike to visual appeal its power was better than royal enfield 350 classic, Honda highness, meteor 350. Riding experience was very good, better than other brands in same segment. Very soon am going buy this jawa 4.2.1 300cc bike. Ready to buy it. For others my recommendation is to take test ride then you can go for it .

    The bike has an amazing performance average is 37 k.m. in the city and 40 highways.
    Rusting problem in bike

    The bike handle is too width
    Ground clearance is low.
    Service cost is average but the parts price is more than Royal Enfield.
    I ride daily 20 to 30 km bike is comfortable for a single person.

    Have a Jawa 42 starlight blue since oct'20.Brilliant experience right from the test drive. The staff at the dealership is extremely courteous(Noida) and gave me all basic accessories free.
    Ride-vibration free powerful performance, great exhaust note that can be adjusted at the service center for bass/loudness. Does not copy re thump. 27bhp@300 cc
    Looks-gets a lot of eye balls when on the road none looks like it in the segment.
    Service easy on the pocket 6000 km interval or 6 months/uses very less engine oil
    It has a radiator so blows hot air through a fan and coolant, people think its getting this is not the case!
    Con-low ground clearance due to center stand, adjusted suspension and tyre pressure @35psi fixes it.
    Seat is hard-spent 1400 to add extra cushion.

    I have booked this bike, major drawback is that it has a long waiting period ranging from 05 to 06 months. I have taken a test ride on that and seen it has best option under 02 lakhs category and best then royal enfield. I am planning to buy royal enfield thunderbird 350x but changed my plan and book jawa.

    Classic variant design looks good. Long riding is not comfortable as so much heat is produced from engine. Tank capacity is low. Speedometer is not comfortable and ground clearance is very low with unsatisfied riding. Suspension is so hard. Radiator sound is heavy. Not value for value unlike Royal Enfield Classic 350. Totally a Light weight machine.
