[@motorinc]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@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.

[@motorinc]

We agree @yogeshgautham! Makes it all the more important for them to do better this time.

[@Bhargav91]

As a ex-Mojo owner I can say with confidence that getting bike serviced is always a week's work because they have one good mechanic across Mahindra , jawa and Yezdi.. so I ended up visiting the service station regularly to get the bike fixed... that is not a good experience irrespective of how the product is... (all this in Bengaluru.. multiple service centers).. I'm not giving my monet again to them!

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.

[@Theblessedelephant]

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. ❤

In terms of sheer production value, this is one of the very best videos from MotorInc. And one of the best in motorcycle related videos in general. Awesome job guys. Love the content.

[@Ashes-9]

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. It felt like the streets of Prague❤❤

back when they launched it in 2018 , the "java enthusiasts doing rallies" PR caught everyone's attention. Bike was beautiful even then and they had a fairly good start in sales but it wasn't a well engineered product. Now they already used up the marketing currency and sales will only go up if they make a very well rounded bike.

[@motorinc]

Agreed! This is their litmus test for sure. Jawa has a unique problem of having to bring new customers and convincing their existing customers to trust them again!😅

[@biswajitbose3957]

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.

[@motorinc]

Thank you for sharing you two. We appreciate it!

Overall my friend was unhappy and sold it off after 8 months at a massive loss due to the low resale value.

[@motorinc]

Oh wow! That sounds bad @TheTwinPost. Was there any resolution from the service centre for any of these issues?

Hi Shumi and Kartik, I'm current using pulsar ns 200 and want to upgrade. I'm confused between pulsar ns 400 and triumph scrambler 400x. Budget is not an issue but value for money is important. I have test driven both the bikes and I felt similar refinement in both the bikes. 80% I drive in City and 20% on highway. Once in 3-4 month I tour about 1000 kms . Do the premium of 80,000 justify the scrambler's purchase or I should stick with ns 400. Pillion comfort is also important and so is the headlight performance.

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...

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

Shumi, I have a question for you, Which school do I go to/ where can I learn riding better if I have no interest in racing or racetracks and do not want to spend money travelling to and learning on racetracks if I can avoid it, I know I can apply those skills to the street, but isn't there any school that teaches all that stuff but for the streets? I want to get better at riding my motorcycle, I can feel there is so much room to improve myself, and I have realised that there is a limit of what I can do by small everyday improvements, is learning at a race school the only way to upgrade my skills to the next level? Have a great day. :) P.S.: Not interested in going fast on the street but improving things like handling, braking, focus and "seeing into the future" as you call it, if getting faster comes as a consequence that's okay.

[@motorinc]

indimotard.com/two This is a racetrack-based school, but not a race school

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.

[@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.

[@PranavKakade7741]

Does this mean that Shumi finally got to ride "more refined" and "DB KILLERS ON", "ROAD-LEGAL" Jawa 350??!! 😁 Also a line on this video makes me hear Shumi saying, "Ye sab kar liya!? Nice, nice! Par ye to 2018 me karna tha na!!!"

[@motorinc]

😅

[@vyshakreghukumar995]

Jawa sales dried up due to quality issues and people are now hesitating to buy one due to poor experience. Meanwhile Gigachad RE who sold millions of sub-standard bikes for many years. Also Ola selling sub-standard EVs and simultaneously topping the sales charts every month! 😂 On another note, Yezdis have the 334cc engine at higher state of tune. The Jawa bobbers have the same engine at more or less the same state of tune. The Jawa 350 has the same engine at a much lower state of tune. Finally, the Jawa 42 has the older 300cc engine at a higher state of tune than the Jawa 350. So what do you think is Classic Legends' strategy with positioning their products?

[@motorinc]

We think the older 300cc engine is going to disappear, Vyshak

[@amalbabz]

@vyshakreghukumar995 bro they detuned compression of jawa 350 to meet relaxed driving experience like cb350 and enfield 350...but 42 still got high compression engine like yezdi...in fact there every motorcycle perform different due to tuning difference

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 😊

[@neilsesl]

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]

Great to know that!

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing @neilsesl! Glad to hear from an owner. Shumi's approach to Jawa comes from an overwhelming negative sentiment that people have from their experience with them. So, we're glad to hear that they're on the right path.

[@dr.ranadhishrajan2797]

Some spy shots were showing the yezdi adventure with new 350cc engine. Imagine if this engine goes to the adventure how it'll be like. Becoz the present yezdi adventure already feels a bit underpowered. Hope to know which riding jeans Shumi is wearing🤩🤩

[@motorinc]

Given where the Himalayan is at today and where the 2025 390 Adventure is likely to go, this 350 in a Yezdi Adventure would achieve precisely nothing, Doc

[@raman2726]

I have paid booking amount of 10k for alloy wheel option. Should I cancel? The issue with RE is they feel heavier in traffic and I live in a small city. I booked jawa for their comfortable riding, but yes they are not reliable.

[@tariqomar0]

Bro, I have the 2020 model and believe me when I go to the service center and look at the 2024 models, I notice how far the company has come in terms of quality. I think things have definitely improved. But please don't take my words for it. A good way to decide would be visit the service centre once and ask the current buyers about the quality and service and then decide.

[@raman2726]

@@tariqomar0 The reason i paid only booking amount was, there were 3 models of 350 and all of them were facing rust issues on silencer and wheels. Showroom person said it is because of they clean the bike with acids. I paid and asked them to order new model and if that is good then i can buy, but they never brought new models. It has been more than 45 days. I am also waiting to see the reviews from others.

[@motorinc]

We would suggest delaying the delivery for as long as possible @raman2726. Give them time to sort out all the niggles so that you can have, hopefully, minimal issues.

[@motorinc]

Glad to hear from an owner @tariqomar0. Have they been able to address your concerns better?
