          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

            It's been 6 months
            It's been 6 months. The brown colour, It beautiful and doesn't make a noise like RE bikes, The Engine is fine tune does not vibrate, and The power is super awesome. The service centre is pretty cool & staff is friendly. Feeling bad when people say "Array ye toh bullet ki copy hai !" But I don't care. Overall I love this bike, LOVE FROM SURAT(GUJARAT)

            This is an exact example
            This is an exact example of a Retro classic Motorcycle, The design is perfect and the riding comfort is very comfy. The engine side is so refined that the Honda is doing its best in the segment. Going towards the gearbox it's simply butter smooth and has no laggings while shifting the gears. The exhaust note is so soothing we can hear all day while riding. Overall vehicles is well refined and value for money compared to any other brands.

            About jawa42
            I'm loving the classic modern design of the Jawa 42! 🤩 The twin exhaust adds a touch of retro charm. Plus, the high pickup and top speed make it a blast to ride. It's perfect for long rides with its impressive mileage and reliable brakes. Anyone else a fan of this beauty? #Jawa42 #Motorcycle #ClassicModern

            Jawa 42 black dual abs and alloy
            Bike is in exceptional good condition as less driven by me. I had to move to banglore this didn’t get much time to drive it. I have full service record till date of timely maintenance. If you are looking for a bike which is very less driven than this is the chance to grab it as early as possible. Price is negotiable but not too much.

            Good looking and heavy performance , above average comfort, design can be modified, more dashing with double silencer and many more. Two people can comfortably sit. It have a good price but not so much features and exhaust note is also poor in comparison to hunter 350 still having double silencer . So it totally depends upon u
