Jawa 350

If you're someone who values nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the joy of pure motorcycling, the Jawa 350 is the bike you've been waiting for. It’s a story on two wheels, brought to life with modern engineering and wrapped in the soul of a timeless classic. From the moment you lay eyes on it to the first twist of the throttle, the Jawa 350 speaks to you in a language of legacy, passion, and personality. Let’s know more about its classic looks and performance in detail.

The moment you walk up to the Jawa 350, it greets you with a classic charm that feels like a warm nod to a golden era of motorcycling. Its teardrop-shaped fuel tank, chrome accents, and wire-spoked wheels are all steeped in retro goodness. Moreover, the bike’s dual-tone paint job catches the highlight just right. The rounded headlamp, old-school badging, and contoured seat evoke nostalgia while providing the comfort of today.

You’ll feel the quality in the metal, the sturdiness of the frame, and the care that’s gone into every bolt and brushstroke. It’s the kind of bike that gets compliments at traffic lights and questions at every tea stop.

The Jawa 350 packs a 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that’s been specially tuned for this bike. It produces 22.26 horsepower and 28.1 Nm of torque, which means you get a perfect mix of punchy performance for city rides and enough power to cruise confidently on highways.

Once you get on the saddle and twist the throttle, you’ll immediately notice how smooth and responsive the engine feels. During our test ride, we really pushed it riding for about two and a half hours in the scorching 43-degree heat. But the engine didn’t complain one bit.

Its liquid-cooling system kept the bike cool the entire time. Moreover, the 6-speed gearbox also worked smoothly and effortlessly. During the ride, we noticed that the motorcycle was going upto a top speed of 125 kmph. However, we recommend riding it between 80-85 kmph on highways for better performance and a comfortable ride.

When it comes to fuel efficiency, the Jawa 350 holds its own. You can expect around 30–35 km/l, which makes it suitable for daily commutes and long weekend rides alike. The bike comes with a 13.2-litre fuel tank, which means you can travel 370 km before needing to refuel.
 

Comfort is one of the Jawa 350’s strongest suits. From the moment you swing your leg over the saddle, it feels like a motorcycle built with the rider in mind. The double-cradle frame offers solid stability, whether you're cruising at 60 kmph or pushing higher speeds on a weekend escape.

The suspension setup, featuring telescopic forks up front and twin shocks at the rear, does a great job of absorbing potholes and rough patches. Moreover, the 790mm low seat height and upright handlebar provide a natural, relaxed position that works well both in city traffic and on longer journeys.

The brakes are equally confidence-inspiring. It comes with a front disc brake and a rear drum or disc (depending on the variant), backed by dual-channel ABS. It’s a setup that gives you peace of mind without taking away from the retro riding vibe.

The Jawa 350 keeps things simple, purposeful, and rider-focused. When you look at the handlebar, you’re greeted by a clean semi-digital instrument cluster. It gives you all the information you need, including speed, fuel level, and trip meters, without clutter or distraction.

And yes, there’s an electric start, so you can start it up with a simple thumb-press. The fuel-injection system ensures smooth throttle response and reliable starting, even in cold conditions. There’s also a handy side-stand engine cut-off that acts as a safety feature. You'll appreciate it if you're ever in a hurry and forget to lift the stand.

Out back, the LED tail light gives it a modern touch while still blending in with the retro design. The most important feature here is the dual-channel ABS. It’s there silently doing its job, giving you added confidence every time you grab the brakes, especially on slippery or unpredictable roads.

Pricewise, the Jawa 350 perfectly fits into the premium-retro category and competes with rivals such as the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda H'ness CB350, and the Yezdi Roadster. It focuses on vintage detail and the original riding experience it provides. Service and parts availability have also improved, due to the efforts of Classic Legends under the Mahindra umbrella.

If you love classic design, old-school charm, and the true feeling of riding, then the Jawa 350 is a great choice for you. It may lack modern features, but it offers something special. It has real character.

This is the kind of bike that makes you want to keep riding. You may even take the long way home just to enjoy it more. It helps you feel close to the road and reminds you of the rich history behind it. If you want simple and soulful riding, the Jawa 350 could be the perfect bike for you.
