Jawa Forty-Two

First bike in this list is Jawa Forty-Two. It is the cheapest bike in India with 300cc engine. The Forty-two is a classic motorcycle with modern elements such as blacked out engine and exhaust, blacked out handlebars. The handlebars are straight and make you ride with a slight aggressive lean. It gets flat seat for long distance touring.

Jawa 42 has a long list of colours to choose from – Galactic Green (Matte), Halley’s Teal (Matte), Lumos Lime (Matte), Starlight Blue (Matte), Comet Red (Glossy), Nebula Blue (Glossy), Allstar Black, Sirius White and Orion Red.

Moving on to the engine, Forty-Two comes with a liquid-cooled, 293cc, singe cylinder, fuel injected engine with 4-valve head. This motor pumps out 27 bhp of maximum power and a peak torque of 27 Nm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox which takes the bike to a top speed of 130 kmph.

The instrument cluster of the Forty-two is semi-digital unit but it lacks any modern feature to write home about. All you get is a reverse sweep speedometer, a digital odometer and a fuel gauge. As the bike is positioned as a classic tourer, there should have been a couple of trip meter for added advantage.

There are telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear which offer comfortable ride over a variety of roads. The braking duties are handled by dual disc brakes with dual channel ABS helping you stay safe under hard braking. The Forty-two has higher practicality in this segment and can be used as a family bike.

Jawa 42 Bobber

Recently, Classic Legends launched their latest offering in the form of Jawa 42 Bobber. From far you can easily make out the difference between the Perak and the 42 Bobber due to the styling changes. If you look at the bike from close, you will see that the 42 Bobber’s front end is based on the design of the Yezdi Roadster while the rear continues to use the elements of the Jawa Perak.

What is not similar to the Perak is the presence of a full LED headlight cluster and a single-pod fully-digital instrument panel. Derived from the Yezdi Roadster, the meter console offers all the important details to the rider. Bluetooth connectivity suite is given a miss this time as well.

Jawa 42 Bobber is positioned as a lifestyle motorcycle for the young generation and cannot serve as a bike for all purpose. One can get an aftermarket pillion seat installed on the 42 bobber for carrying a pillion.

Jawa Perak

The Perak is a long-wheelbase single seat bobber. The wheelbase of the Perak is 1485 mm which is achieved by increasing the length of swingarm. In the Forty-two and 300, the wheelbase stands at only 1369 mm marking a substantial increase. It is available only in Black colour option.

In Jawa Perak you will find a monoshock rear suspension while the front end comes with similar telescopic forks that are also seen on the Forty-two and Jawa 300. Settings of the suspension are similar and offers comfortable ride. In fact, the front half of the Jawa Perak is a straight lift from the other two bike sin the company’s line-up. It’s only the rear part which is significantly different than either forty-two or 300.

Being a single seat bobber and fitted with a monoshock, the rider’s seat is suspended in the air and is connected directly to the subframe of the bike. At present, the company is not offering any kind of pillion seat as an accessory. However, with time, the aftermarket accessories industry will get you a pillion seat but safety cannot be trusted on aftermarket parts.

Jawa Perak is powered by a bored-out version of the standard Jawa’s engine. This now offers a displacement of 334cc. With additional cylinder displacement comes the extra power and thus this motor is tuned to develop a maximum power of 30 bhp and peak torque is rated at 32.74 Nm. There is no mention about the engine rpm on the Jawa’s official technical specification sheet or on the website. This engine comes mated to a 6-speed transmission same as other two Jawa bikes.

In the classic motorcycles segment, the Perak is officially most powerful bike you can buy today. Other bikes like Royal Enfield’s 350cc bikes, Benelli Imperiale, Honda CB350 all develop far less power and torque figures. Also, the performance of the Perak is greater and livelier than the competition making it a powerful highway cruiser. Royal Enfield Himalayan is the bike which comes closer in terms of peak torque output.

The bobber gets same instrument panel offering nothing extra to the rider. The console is semi-digital in design on a single-pod unit. A reverse sweep speedometer, fuel gauge and an odometer are all you get to rely upon. There were quite a few speculations that updated BS6 Jawa Perak might offer extra features on the cluster but nothing came as we know. The bike features a round headlight with halogen bulb instead of LED that other bike makers are offering.

It offer more power and better power to weight ratio when compared to the Himalayan but still lacks in certain areas. The Adventure is priced from Rs 2.12 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi.

The adventure from Yezdi is offered in three colours – Slick Silver, Mambo Black and Ranger Camo. In terms of design, the Yezdi have kept the classic look of the bike. It gets a large beak, larger front wheel, a fairing, adjustable meter console, wide and flat seats and a large fuel tank.

Yezdi Adventure is powered by a 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine that delivers 29.7 bhp of power at 8000 rpm and 29.9 Nm torque at 6500 rpm. The power is sent to the rear wheel via a 6-speed gearbox. There is sufficient oomph in the motor to propel the bike from 0 to 100 kmph in around 11 seconds and top speed is rated at 140 kmph.

Since, the engine is a high-revving, short-stroke unit; one cannot expect higher fuel economy. In the city rides, the Adventure delivers 27-28 kmpl while out on the highways; the mileage improves to 32 kmpl if ridden sanely.

The instrument cluster is a fully digital unit with almost all the data including the instant and average fuel consumption. A mobile charger socket is also available as standard for charging smartphone on the run. Multiple ABS modes are offered along with off-road mode which switches off the ABS on the rear wheel.

Speaking about the instrumentation, the all-digital cluster all the functionality like speedometer, odometer, tachometer, trip-meters, fuel gauge, gear position indicator, instantaneous and average fuel efficiency and more. For the rider, the seat is well-padded and offers good level of comfort to the rider. However, the riding posture is slightly forward leaning to deliver a sportier riding stance.

A pair of golden USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear offers balanced ride quality which can take on the bad roads with ease and also provide confidence around the corners.

Honda CB300F rides on 110 section and 150 section tyres are the front and the rear. The braking hardware is direct lift from Hornet itself and 276 mm front disc brake and 220 mm rear disc brake accompanied by a dual channel ABS.

BMW G 310 RR

Keeping the Apache RR 310R as a base machine, BMW launched the G 310 RR sports bike in India for Rs 2.85 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi. Other colour options are even costlier. Black storm metallic, Light White Uni, Racing Blue Metallic and Racing R are the colour options available on the sports bike from BMW.

The bike is powered by a liquid-cooled, 312cc, single cylinder engine which is co-developed by TVS and BMW. This engine pumps out 33 bhp at 9000 rpm and 27.3 Nm torque at 7700 rpm which are more than sufficient to take BMW G 310 RR to 100 kmph from standstill in around 7 seconds. The 6-speed gearbox carries well-spaced ratios which makes this bike a capable track machine.

Speaking about the features, the bike gets a 5-inch colourful TFT display which has an option of Bluetooth connectivity. The display shows a plethora of information including missed calls and messages notifications when connected with your smartphone. There is a lap counter, top speed counter, 0-60 kmph counter and much more. You can also go anywhere with GPS by getting turn by turn navigation directly on the display.

BMW G 310 RR is a versatile sports bike which is good for riding in the city due to comfortable riding posture as well as for long distance touring. The near perfect suspension setup and robust trellis frame also makes it a great machine to tackle the race tracks every now and then. It is Apache RR 310 underneath but has the charm of a BMW. We anticipated a sharper front with BMW’s own front styling.

BMW G310 GS

BMW has another offering for the riders looking for some adventure. The BMW G310 GS is an adventure tourer motorcycle which is now priced at Rs 2.85 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi. This came in as a surprise when BMW reduced the price of the G 310 R in the BS6 avatar. At the new price, the bike suddenly started feeling as a capable contender in the 300cc bikes segment.

Colour options on the BMW G310 GS are Cosmic Black 3, Polar White with Racing blue metallic, Style Rally Kalamata Metallic Matt

The G310GS offers hardware for off-roading and highway touring. You get long travel suspension at both ends. The golden USD forks are present at the front and at the rear a monoshock does the job. Both the suspension has 180 mm travel which is ideal for tackling off-road terrain. The front wheel is larger 19-inch unit which would glide you across terrain filled with rocks and pits. At the rear, you get a 17-inch wheel wrapped with a 150-section dual purpose tyre.

At the core of G310 GS is a liquid-cooled, 313 cc, reversed inclined, single cylinder engine with a 4-valve head. This fuel injected BS6 powerplant produces 33.5 bhp of max power at 9250 rpm and 28 Nm torque at 7500 rpm. The motor is paired to a 6-speed gearbox for reduction duties. On performance front, the G310R does a sprint of 0-100 kmph in under 7 seconds with a company claimed top speed of 143 kmph with speedo-indicated top speed going up to 163 kmph. The kerb weight of the bike is around 170 kg which is manageable for most riders. The seat height is 835 mm with option for 820 mm low seat and 850 mm high seat.

In the upgraded avatar, the G310 GS gets full LED lighting and slipper clutch for addition convenience and safety. However, the instrument cluster remains same LCD unit that offer good amount of information to the rider. However, BMW should have used this opportunity to slip in a colourful TFT unit with Bluetooth connectivity to lure in more customers and added usage.

Kawasaki Ninja 300

The next bike is Kawasaki Ninja 300. It is the dream bike for many riders because of its sporty stance and Ninja moniker. It is however more expensive than the RC 390 but features a twin-cylinder engine. At present, the Ninja 300R is priced at Rs 3.4 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi which is still relevant for a sporty twin-cylinder sports bike.

Powering the all-new BS6 Kawasaki Ninja 300 is a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, 296cc, parallel-twin, multi-port fuel injected, 8-valve DOHC engine. This mill gets dual throttle bodies for precision throttle control which is derived from the bigger Ninjas and helps in the production of 38.88 bhp at 11,000 rpm and 26.1 Nm torque at 10,000 rpm. If you have noticed, the torque is down by 0.9 Nm which will definitely affect the initial acceleration and roll-on acceleration of the bike in the real-world riding scenarios. The power is sent to the rear wheel via a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox.

With added catalytic convertor and certain components to make the engine meet BS6 emission norms, the new Ninja 300R tips the scale at 179 kg a generous increase of 5 kg from the previous BS4 version of the bike. We expect the new machine to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in around 6.5 second and manage to hit a top speed of 170 kmph. It is still made to perform and bring smile on the face of the riders.

Coming to the segment in which it rests, the new Ninja 300R is a sports tourer increased of a full-fledged track machine because of comfier riding posture. Yes, the handlebars are clip-on type but are raised to a fairly high level allowing the rider to lean forward but only up to a level where it is comfortable to hold for long time. The seat is also comfortable and offers more than sufficient space for both rider and the pillion.

The company has ensured that engine heat from the radiator does not fry p the legs of the rider and the heat is vented to out away from the rider’s legs. This makes it a perfect city commuter as well. A tall visor at the front and full fairing around the bike deflects the high-speed wind-blast away from the rider’s head which improves the saddle time and the cruising speed. Speaking about the cruising speed, the bike has enough power to be ridden at 100 to 120 kmph all day long without tiring the rider.

On the dashboard, you’ll find the same old analogue-digital instrument cluster that offers a large central tachometer and a small LCD screen for rest of the details like speed, odometer, trip meters and fuel gauge. On one side where the new manufacturers are offering TFT display with connectivity features, the Ninja’s old meter console doesn’t go well with the new generation of riders and the market they step in.

However, the popularity and the essence of the Ninja lineage of bikes continues to remain the same and the lovers of the Ninja 300 will get one no matter what the conditions and features are.

The Ninja 300 is built around rigid diamond type frame that offers great handling characteristics. It features telescopic forks at the front and a bottom link Uni-Trak monoshock suspension with gas reservoir and 5-step preload adjustment at the rear. This setup is tuned to provide a balanced ride and handling to the bike making it easy to take around the corners with solid stability on the highway rides as well as ability to absorb undulations on the broken patches of roads.

The hardware which is present on the Ninja 300 to bring it back from menacing speeds are 290 mm front disc gripped by a two-piston calliper at the front and a 220 mm disc brake unit with single piston calliper at the rear. Rider safety is offered by a dual-channel ABS which manages to keep tyres from skidding on the loose gravel or wet surface.
