One of the highly awaited motorcycles of the year, the new
Royal Enfield Classic 350, has finally been launched making the other products in the segment smile nervously. One of the main rivals of this motorcycle is the
Jawa. Since the new RE uses the 349cc engine from the Meteor 350, we thought it would be fair to do a new Royal Enfield Classic 350 vs Jawa specs comparison.
