Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda CB350
- The retro design has been well executed
- Has modern features with LED lighting and semi-digital instrument console
- Very good engine refinement
- Brakes offer good feedback
Jawa 42
- Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
- Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
- Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

Honda CB350
- Restricted Big Wing dealership network
- Riding at lower speeds in higher gears is difficult and will need frequent gear changes
- Suspension can bottom out when hitting sharp potholes
Jawa 42
- The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
- Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

The comfort and service
It's comfort is more promising and we can expect a good styling in this bike. It can also ensure a good mileage of 35 kilometres per litre in any stretch and other important thing is service cost is also pretty impressive which can attract the buyers,to conclude this,it's the bike whichbis made for comfort and quality purpose

Unfortunate and bad experience within 3 months.
I purchased Honda CB350 on 30th August and they announced the recall campaign just one month after my purchase. When I gave my bike to first service, I found that their was a gap on the head light rim and the main body of the head light. When I asked them they said we can't do anything now. The gap still exists and it doesn't look good. The USB charger is not working out of the box, I made a mistake of not checking it during the delivery, now they are saying electrical system is not under warranty. In the rear mirrors we can't see anything. I don't have confidence to turn left or right, I need to see back since mirrors are useless. Even after 2 months of announcement of recall, no one has called me for part replacement. It seems they need to replace a camshaft and sensor, which needs opening of engine. I am not confident of the reliability of the vehicle now. I am disappointed by the brand Honda.

Jawa 42 Cosmic Rock DT
I have 42 Cosmic rock dt , bike is performance vice so great it smokes RE’s and great features and comfort and safety , breaking is accurate and to the point , i dont feel any issue at all regarding ground clearance. It is decent . The only problem is mileage, i get only around 25 in the city and 30 on highway with avg speed of 80 and other problem is engine heating , yes it heats alot. Overall bike is great i love it . Just the mileage and heating is negative point
