Pros Cons of JAWA Perak

Pros

Eye-catching bobber styling with a floating seat, forward-set footpegs, bar-end mirrors and twin slash-cut tailpipes.
An assist and slipper clutch smoothens power delivery during gearshifts and prevents rear wheel hop on hard downshifts.
It has disc brakes at both ends backed by dual-channel ABS.
Its low 750 mm seat height allows shorter riders place both feet on the ground.
The 13.2-litre fuel tank gives you reasonable range between refuelling stops.

Cons

Its single-seat layout considerably limits practicality.
The 187 kg weight makes itself felt in stop-and-go or parking manoeuvres.
Spoked wheels with tube tyres (100/90-18 front, 140/70-17 rear) make puncture repair a headache.
The semi-digital instrument display is basic and skips modern connectivity options.

Verdict

The Jawa Perak is a great effort to offer the bobber character to the Indian masses. Plus, its punchy 334 cc liquid-cooled engine, distinct dual exhaust notes, and low 750 mm floating seat make it a head-turner on our roads.

However, it lacks a rear seat, tubeless tyres, and a modern screen - stuff that make it more practical. Despite that, if you are willing to trade everyday utility for style, the Perak is undoubtedly a unique offering in our market.

Pros Cons Indian Roadmaster

Pros

Refined and torquey performance
Loaded with features
Comfortable ride

Cons

Engine heat
Manoeverability in traffic
Lack of reverse gear

Verdict

Impeccable! The bigger a motorcycle, more the number of parts. And in case of the Roadmaster, it has a fairing, panniers, panels etc. but no rattle at all. Overall, the urban jungle is not the environs where the Roadmaster will thrive. It is best ridden on long, smooth stretches of tarmac. Though we have to say that there are few cruisers or tourers which can match the comfort and elegance of the way the Roadmaster goes about.
