Motorcycles in India

7th August 2025

Jawa motorcycle folks, who also are in charge of the BSA brand in India, have plonked the Jawa 334 cc engine in the BSA Bantam 350. What a travesty of ‘brand’ building and this and that!

That’s not how you challenge and attempt to take a share of the segment ruled by the Royal Enfields.

Bantam 350 turns me off even to test-ride at this moment.

As the size of human body has gotten bigger (yes, referring to obesity), the shape of motorcycles has gotten bloatier. Inflated. Plastic balloon type somewhat.
