  • 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
