Pros Cons of JAWA 42

Pros

  • Refined performance
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Sorted ride and handling

Cons

  • Low ground clearance
  • Low cornering clearance
  • Welding quality not up to the mark

Verdict

The Jawa Forty Two offers the entry-level model into the new Jawa range of bikes. It still has the same qualities as the standard Jawa - same performance, same ride quality and same likeable road manners. The Jawa Forty Two gets a beautiful modern classic design, with decent set of features that may not be comparable to rivals but gets the job done. Of course, after sales service could be an issue as the Jawa network isn't as widespread as some of the rival companies.

Pros Cons Royal Enfield Meteor 350

Pros

  • Tubeless tyres
  • Refined engine
  • 3 variants available with customisation options

Cons

  • Lacks features
  • Cruising speed limited to 110 kmph
  • Heavy clutch lever feel

Verdict

The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 will not just be a replacement for the Thunderbird 350 in India, but has been developed as a global product. According to Royal Enfield, it will be sold in India and will also cover the markets of Thailand, Europe and North America. It has been developed with learnings and knowledge from the flagship 650 Twins, which is apparent in the refinement levels and engineering. With smoother and livelier performance, the new RE Meteor 350 is perhaps the best 350 cc engine.
