          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

          • Royal Enfield Hunter 350

            • The pricing is exceptionally competitive
            • The most lightweight and user-friendly Royal Enfield motorcycle for riding
            • The styling is spot-on as a retro-roadster

            Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

          • Royal Enfield Hunter 350

            • The engine lacks performance to match the exceptional handling capabilities of the bike
            • The absence of a slipper clutch results in a heavier clutch action
            • The rear suspension feels firm

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

            RE H 350 summary
            It's a good bike overall, not too heavy for a royal Enfield at 181 kg, suspension is a little hard but over provides good stability, this bike is also made to cater to people with a relatively shorter height too,mileage is also pretty good at 36 km the price of 2 lakh this can be a really good deal.

            Hunter bike looks great look with more excellent specifications.But mileage below 30 that thing was so bad.Maintenance also higher. The bike rebel blue is my bike color I think my blue color variant and model top model looks fanatics compared to other variants.The additional fittings too much price comparing other company.

            Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Review
            The Royal Enfield Hunter is a very comfortable, high-performance bike. It has very good torque and is best for city rides. Overall, it's a good experience, and this bike gets around 30 kmpl, which is decent for a 350cc bike. Even if you drive fast, it will give you at least 25 kmpl. That's nice. Best for city rides and best for students also good for family of two.

            I ride 6,500 kms in my jawa 42
            The bike's performance is awesome. We can smoke almost 350cc bikes. The mileage is low. If we fill premium petrol then the performance will increase and very nice to ride the bike. We can cruise at 120km/h very easily. The top speed i achieved is 140km/h. The road performance is higher than other motors cycles in this segment.

            About jawa42
            I'm loving the classic modern design of the Jawa 42! 🤩 The twin exhaust adds a touch of retro charm. Plus, the high pickup and top speed make it a blast to ride. It's perfect for long rides with its impressive mileage and reliable brakes. Anyone else a fan of this beauty? #Jawa42 #Motorcycle #ClassicModern

            Bike is in exceptional good condition as less driven by me. I had to move to banglore this didn’t get much time to drive it. I have full service record till date of timely maintenance. If you are looking for a bike which is very less driven than this is the chance to grab it as early as possible. Price is negotiable but not too much.
