The resale value of Jawa motorcycles typically holds moderate to decent value, but it depends on factors like the model, year, condition, and demand in your area.
General Resale Range (as of 2025):
| Model | Age (Years) | Resale Price Range (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Jawa 42 BS6 | 2–3 | ₹1.3 – ₹1.6 lakh |
| Jawa Classic 300 | 2–3 | ₹1.25 – ₹1.5 lakh |
| Jawa Perak | 2–3 | ₹1.4 – ₹1.7 lakh |
| Jawa 42 Bobber | 1–2 | ₹1.6 – ₹1.9 lakh |
| Jawa 350 (New Gen) | <1 | ₹1.7 – ₹2.0 lakh |
Factors Affecting Resale:
- Condition: Clean, scratch-free bikes fetch better prices.
- Mileage: Bikes with less than 15,000 km usually sell quicker.
- Service history: Regularly serviced bikes with records retain more value.
- Modifications: Heavily modified bikes may reduce trust unless tasteful and reversible.
- Model popularity: The Jawa 42 tends to have better resale due to high demand.
- Location: Metro cities and tier-1 towns fetch higher prices.
Compared to Royal Enfield:
- RE generally has better resale, especially in rural and touring segments.
- Jawa’s resale is improving as brand awareness and service networks grow, but not as high as RE yet.
If you’re planning to buy and sell in 2–3 years, expect 60%–75% value retention if you maintain the bike well.
