my experience with jawa has been vastly different compared to what you guys said. rear shocks are definitely too hard, vibrations past 90 are there, but not unbearable for me at least, you cant see a thing in the mirrors past 90, but thats where it feels the most powerful, turns on the mountains feel like heaven, it flicks into corners and always has enough power get out of them without ever feeling out of breath. And finally, my experience of there service is nothing short of premium. parts are always available and if i go on a weekday for service, I can stand next to my bike and witness the whole process. I think it might vary from place to place.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing @kshitij2454. And we definitely agree that the experience can vary. Please let us know the dealer's name so the others living nearby can make use of them as well.

I Own a Jawa 350 since April 17th and honestly I had a lot of questions myself before I was convinced to buy this product. I did my R& D since Jan 17th. Gave it 2.5 months before I bought the 350 in maroon. I have got my first service done as well. I am very happy about the purchase. The service is also on point with first service costing me Rs 1850. The bike is much more fun and has a great character compared to RE classic or the Hona CB 350. Top speed touched 65 km/ltr. Mileage about 21 in city. Yes the instrument cluster takes a week to get used to it but then it’s fine. I agree with the fuel gauge which I don’t like. Back rest should be installed for a pilion. It’s a fun to ride bike, gives me a smile. ❤

I had the bs4 Jawa jawa back in 2020. It was peppy and i loved the way it felt. But the quality issues were too many , as much as the chassis showing signs of rusting. Everytime i used to visit the service center, i used to hear horror tales of customers about their ordeals. Most famous was the lambda sensor conking off in the middle of nowhere. The retro motorcycle was supposed to give me peace but on the contrary all i got was anxiety. So finally the Jawa Jawa was traded in for a Continental GT650 and we lived happily ever after. ❤ And btw loved the accordion playing in the bg and the font is a masterpiece that goes well with the theme.

[@yogeshgautham]

Jawa was a casualty of management short-sight. They were so obsessed with grabbing the market share of Royal Enfield Classic 350, that they started benchmarking against the erstwhile UCE classic, being blind to what RE had in the works. They should have just focused on giving the best riding experience to whoever bought their product, while staying true to the Jawa heritage, not just limiting to the cosmetics. The marketing initially was just lies. They made people believe the bike sounded way better than it actually did. Talk about setting wrong expectations and falling badly short.

I’m one of those rare individuals who bought the Jawa Classic in 2019, pretty much from the first batch off the line. Interceptor had a waiting period too long for my impatience, and tbh had loved the test ride. Niggles are there, engineering is shoddy (wire trees are 🤮), but the engine has been a joy! My commutes are short, and the bulk of the 25k kms done are on highways - 18 states till date, with the longest being Pune to Kolkata and back, solo. I’ve always been able to trust my bike to not leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere. There are good things but nearly all of those ‘good’ things are rather ‘if only there weren’t this other issue which doesn’t let this good thing be great’. For example, this bike has great handling, if only the ground clearance was better that I wouldn’t scrape my centre stand. Do I love my bike? Absolutely. Is it because Classic Legends engineered the shit out of it? Hell no. I’ve just grown used to the niggles and can love the scent behind the smell! Some would call that Stockholm syndrome 😷 Would I trust this brand again? Not really.

[@tariqomar0]

Same is the case with me. Bought one in 2020 and definitely there were some issues. The battery died again and again, and there was an issue where ABS malfunctioned. And then the evergreen rust issues. But those issues were sorted with time and CL replaces the rusted parts - namely the silencers and the shockers. But, there are good bits as well to this bike that I love. As rightly mentioned by you, the handling as well as the highway rides.

If CL can get their act together on quality and export to Australia, I'd certainly consider buying one. I twice emailed CL in 2020 with a view to a private import, but didn't get any reply; seems to be symptomatic of CL's approach.

Being a Jawa bike onwer from last 2 years.. I can say that I AM 💯 Percent agreed, whatever Shumi sir in the end that YOU SHOULD NOT BUY CLASSIC LEGENDS BIKE.. Here are some points as an existing customer i can say. 1. The company is not planning to extend dealership or increase servicing center.. Instead of that they are closing small dealers.. And fun fact the servicing center are getting crowded.. Even though they have increased the availability of the spare parts and all. 2. Servicing cost and spare cost is costly. The both brake pads cost around 800 rupees, air filter is also around 400 rupees, fuel filter (it is attached with fuel filter) it cost around 390... Just and fyi they are using the basic spare parts from Bajaj.. If we buy them from outside it will cost around 50 percent less cost than. 3. Labor cost are high too. Around 30 to 40 percent high... And new bikes here is something interesting move added by classic legends The company is nowadays is adding 2100 as pdi charges and 3900 for transportation and delivery charges ( they literally bring their bike in simple truck no premier packing and all) .. Which cost around 6000 extra.. This all cost should have been included in the ex showroom.. Recently they launched yezdi adventure at ex showroom price of 2.12lk but again they are forcing the customer to buy their crash guard.. Because it is an mandatory accessories.....they are adding some mandatory accessories in many bikes and taking extra money from customer which is really stupid

[@karun_vv7190]

5:22 Shumi views on the instrument cluster really made me laugh. A friendly roast i guess and something Java needs to look into carefully

[@tariqomar0]

I think the Achilles heel for Jawa is the suspension setup and not the instrument cluster. Don't agree with Shumi there because it is not a deal-breaker in any way. It doesn't take months of effort or intelligence to understand that. It would take you maximum 5 days or 1 week to get accustomed to it. It is unconventional for sure but surely you can get your fuel reading.

[@motorinc]

The point, @tariqomar0 is that the issues of the speedo are known. And have been known from the start. When they did so much work on the Jawa 350, they should have fixed it, not allowed customers to _get used to it._ You can get used to anything - but that's a very low standard of expectations, no?

[@motorinc]

Agreed, @karun_vv7190 😊

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Thanks for the roundup 👍. Classic Legends need to cease the current MO and not insist on early (and mid term) adopters being the "beta testers" of a product. Rushing to market in order to recoup R&D costs is NOT the way to a successful sales strategy. Hopefully they've realised this early enough to enable the Jawa 350 to actually start to complete with other bikers from alternative manufacturers. On that note, get those rear shocks sorted and maybe even offer a free "upgrade" to existing owners when they do. Things like this will inevitably help rebuild confidence in the product and potentially put right that essential factor.

[@motorinc]

We agree @PhilipBallGarry. They have a steep climb ahead.

[@LowQualityPigeon]

This bike is like MV Agusta but classic. It's gorgeous to look at but difficult to maintain. My previous experience with jawa hasnt been so good but hopefully these new 350s are better built. Cant get over how good it looks btw.

Love subtle jabs at Jawa xD and amazing video. But i think shumi is being too critical about Jawa. I was skeptic too while I longed to buy Jawa 42 2.1 because of reviews like this. Finally after a year I bought the bike and its been a couple of months and I really love the bike. The company has been serious about the brand, i received 2 calls directly from the company representatives for the delivery and overall feedback. the service has been very professional at least in the area I live in Bangalore. Overall I am positive about the future of Jawa ,* Fingers crossed

[@tariqomar0]

Nice presentation, but there is a noticeable difference between front and rare mudguard's design. Front mudguard looks classy where rare one smash the look.

[@SandeepKRam]

Every word / sentence - well weighted and spot-on. But I don't think they had a choice other than to ship early and keep iterating fast. And neither do they have a choice now - because we are seeing that the longer they hold back newer products, the final outcome is still a bit short of what justifies that delay. Jawa/Yezdi/BSA/CLPL - should continue to keep launching and keep improving. Its a phase now where not doing either is going to irreversibly lose them mindshare in the market.

[@motorinc]

That may be @SandeepKRam but there are a lot of people who trusted Jawa with their money have been forced to never trust them again. This shipping early and iterate fast strategy may be great for software (debatable if we're being honest!) but for hardware, they either need to price it accordingly or ensure the quality meets the asking price. We're all for them improving and are cautiously hopeful for sure but Classic Legends has a steep climb for sure.

[@SandeepKRam]

@@motorinc i am one of those hardy jawa Yezdi loyalists who is in that list of people feeling let down Not denying they have slipped and relied more on heritage value and cashing in on marketing and poor on engineering. They should have done a far better job. And now they have not much time to keep pace and show quality.

[@SandeepKRam]

Besides shipping fast and iterating fast is never agreeable of you are starting at a very low quality to begin with in any industry :) that's their initial mistake and I agree with you on low quality engineering initially.

I have always wondered why you never made any videos on honda's cb series of bikes in India, I mean i like to think they are a good product line and people have been quite open minded and they are well received in the indian market. It would be a great help if you can make a video or even a short video on Honda's cb line of bikes, coz people tend to compare them with javas and Enfields. Much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Love all your videos. Cheers.

[@Scrutiniz3r]

@@anshumaanjain that's because honda doesn't provide bikes for them (in fact anybody) to review

[@motorinc]

Honda hasn't given us a bike to test @anshumaanjain. We've been chasing them for over a year now.

[@Scrutiniz3r]

@@motorinc we'd love to give our honda bikes so that you can review it tho

[@anshumaanjain]

@@motorinc That's sad coz your channel is among the very few i trust and watch keenly for almost everything you teach us about automobile and each n every thing related to it, be it riding, gears and what not, i really hope that either honda provides you all with a review unit or you can somehow arrange one to review coz i am sure there are a ton of users including me who are looking forward for your thoughts on Honda's CB line up of bikes.

[@motorinc]

Hey @kabbiraam2513! That's very generous of you! We can't accept though. First, riding someone's personal bike for a test is a scary responsibility. Second, for a test to be comparable the bike must be as new as possible and from the manufacturer so that they can _guarantee_ it's in the shape that a customer would get it in

[@garagewheelz]

This is like roasting with diplomacy 😂 id love to have Jawa for its looks but not for its hardware thankfully my wife , parents and kids liked interceptor 650 , 5 years back and I'm thankful for what we finally decided...

[@atultambatkar6321]

I own a Jawa 42 2.1 and I found no issues in the bike. 6 months with the bike and 4k kilometers completed.

[@motorinc]

Glad to hear that @atulambatkar6321. How has the service experience been for you?

[@atultambatkar6321]

@@motorinc My service experience has been good. No issues in my local service centre. I do it in Thane.

[@kruzerblade4740]

I think the results of the Jawa Yezdi experiment is exactly the reason why CL chose to launch the BSA Gold star in UK first before launching it in india, even though it's produced here. Quite smartly, they will have already gone through a couple of production cycles, before it's introduced here, with niggles being sorted out by the UK audience instead of the Indian one. So when they do launch the BSA, we can expect the quality levels to be much much higher right from the get go, and customers won't regret buying Gold Stars right away, which should help establish some much missing brand value. Of course, after-sales service quality will continue to be the question mark, but this is a step in the right direction.

[@motorinc]

Interesting thoughts @kruzerblade4740. Guess we'll know when they arrive here.

Can you post the review of the Yezdi adventure2024 model? It has got its new engine so eager to know its improvements and how it performs in city as well as long rides

Mahindra should Relaunch Mojo 300 and should focus on service centers (2 stroke Jawa and yezdi is known for its beat,noise and smoke not only for looks,Evolution of RE is different, my opinion Jawa and Yezdi is not so successful )

[@Enigma_Male]

Every person that i have met who owns a bike of Jawa, has told me that spare parts are not easily available, even in service centres sometimes . Local Mechanic are hesitant to do any service on Jawa Bikes.

[@supriodas5752]

Jawa new 42 is launching on 3rd Sep. Please make a review on that. Will make buying decision between Hunter and 42 then.

[@kseth6992]

Let’s hope Classic Legends don’t the mess up the BSA now . Maybe it’s a good thing they started in the UK first ( hence forced to make it better ) ! We shall see I guess .

[@motorinc]

Yes let's hope!

[@rahulkarmakar4783]

[@AdarshHD]

Can we get the review for 42FJ, your inputs would help a lot

[@user-HBD]

Is the Jawa 350 at any time sooner going to get the update the FJ has got, which is bigger disc and front forks? Because I want to buy the Jawa 350 but I'm confused if the upgrades are going to be immediate knowing the company is making their motorcycles better with tech and quality.

[@RanjanSkyline]

What a gorgeous bike

[@motorinc]

Indeed!

[@AftabKhan-dy1zb]

shumi I agree with whatever you say, but jawa's are the most beautiful bikes, jawa 42 the 350 bobber , we don't wanna go into the technical segment as u do, but these bikes are beautiful the sound is divine ..........

[@motorinc]

Having the technical parts right will make your experience even better @AftabKhan-dy1zb. That's what we're calling for.

[@ethanhunt356]

Most of the motor cycle enthusiasts, who has a soft coner towards modern classic bikes, would love to ride a machine which looks classy, bulky with good fit and finish and also the heart of the machine definitely be a long stroke single with a thumpy exhaust. Jawa has become better in most of the areas, but still lacks a long stroke engine, which i dont think would come in the near future...

[@tariqomar0]

This is the point of Jawa brand. They have always been youthful in their approach as compared to RE. It is like 2 diff riding philosophies. So, if they make the engine long stroke, I think they will loose their identity and USP.

[@motorinc]

The machine you describe - classy, bulky etc - is not part of Jawa's DNA even historically though, Ethan

[@amalbabz]

why need long stroke underpowerd engine

[@ethanhunt356]

​@@motorinc yes boss, what you mentioned is absolutely correct. What I ment is the common likes of a modern classic bike lover. The real DNA of JAWA was very charismatic with that 2 stroke engine, gear/kicker combo and that unique exhaust note, which they can't reproduce with a 4 stroke. I had the chance to ride it during my teen ages as my first bike was yezdi roadking, for learning before getting my liscence😄
