JAWA 300 vs Royal Enfield Himalayan Comparison

The Jawa Jawa or Jawa 300 is a modern classic roadster with design which is near identical to the original Jawa two-stroke 250 cc motorcycles from the 1960s and '70s, although the new Jawa comes with a four-stroke 300 cc engine. Even though it's not a performance-oriented motorcycle, the Jawa looks great, is built well, and has brilliant ride and handling, backed by the performance of an engine which doesn't really have too many negatives.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan definitely is a good bike, and the more time you spend time with it, the more you begin appreciating it. Sure, it has its weaknesses, and more power, less weight, better brakes et al, would have worked wonders to make it even better. But eventually, what matters is that it's a simple motorcycle that will charm you with its simplicity, whether you're the city commuter, relaxed highway cruiser, or trudging along broken trails.
