          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Honda CB350RS

            • The neo-retro design has been executed very well and the bike looks pretty good
            • Engine is very smooth and refined, with no vibrations felt even at higher speeds
            • Brakes are very responsive and provide 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 CB350RS

            • Is quite a bit expensive when compared to its rivals
            • Lacks a distinct flavour, and feels like just a slightly altered variant of the CB350 H’ness
            • Engine lacks the bottom end torque expected from a long stroke motor

            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

            Butter smoothie performance
            Engine is butter smooth. Handling also good. Pillion comfort is ok only. Service is the only concern. Not widely service centre availability. Satisfied with the mileage part. Spare cost is very moderate Best for solo long travel. I rode 5k plus long travel in tamilnadu. Got good mileage as well Take a test ride and book the bike.

            The bike is amazing, it gives good mileage in city and the highway definitely better purchase than Royal Enfield. Very low maintenance but its also a dirt magnet, hence u need to keep washing it, after sales is little bad but still better than other companies, it has a high value for money. Pls go buy

            Customer service and vehicle performance
            The service and the way they handle their customers and really good. The bike is sounds really good after the bike has run for few km it's louder than its rivals and feels good to drive and the mileage is better than its rivals too. You can be confident while your push the vehicle to go faster and it performs pretty good one highway as well as city.

            I ride 6,500 kms in my jawa 42
            The bike's performance is awesome. We can smoke almost 350cc bikes. The mileage is low. If we fill premium petrol then the performance will increase and very nice to ride the bike. We can cruise at 120km/h very easily. The top speed i achieved is 140km/h. The road performance is higher than other motors cycles in this segment.

            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

            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.
