                  The attractive appearance. When I saw it first time, it became my favourite bike. It's floating single seat is amazing. It stands out with its unique and eye-catching bobber design. It offers a comfortable riding experience for both city roads and highways. The Jawa 42 Bobber offers a smooth ride, strong performance, comfortable ergonomics and confident handling. Its unique bobber styling, premium finish and great road presence make every ride enjoyable. I will highly recommend this bike for its style, design, smooth performance, ride comfortable and strong road presence.

                  My riding experience
                  The biggest reason is its appearance. The floating single seat, wide rear tyre and minimalist design made it stand out. I loved the custom bike look straight from the factory. That made me choose this bike. As a solo rider, I find the seat comfortable for daily commute and short to medium highway trips although the suspension is a bit firm on rough roads. As for mileage, it is around 25 to 30 kmpl in normal riding. A solo rider would love this bike for various purposes such as everyday use or short commute or even long road trips in various terrain. The fuel to kilometre capacity is not a problem for me. Considering the current petrol crisis in India, this bike is quite manageable.

                  The guy who loves solo traveling
                  My friend had this bike first so I tried it for few long trips and I fell in love with the performance and smoothness of this beauty. Its fuel cost is more but manageable. I usually prefer performance. Looks are also good. For comfort, its good but its better for solo travelling. I travel solo pretty often, so its a best choice for me. It performs well in hilly area which was truly unexpected for me. Sometimes, its just the heat problem, my leg got burned while riding, so better be careful about it. Well, if you prefer solo travelling or like normal travel then go for it. Its better for people who can handle heavier bikes and have experience. If you can manage the fuel costs in today's economy then go for it.

                  Highly recomended for highway bike
                  Engine is refined, no vibration even driving on speed 100, suspension is stiffer side which become positive for highway rides. Good highway if your continuously riding on highway. Will get 40 plus mileage on highway if cruising on 80 speed. Handling is good. Breaking is fantastic even on high speed braking will provide enough confidence to control on it. Bigger negative is, need to shift the gear during on city rides. I would its one of bad bike if you are driving on city. Go for it if you riding on highway, will get 40 plus mileage which is an edge of this bike. Smother and refined engine will provide an next level experience on highway. DUAL Channel abs and traction work fantastic and provide too much confidence during braking.

                  Best luxury cruiser with modern vintage combo
                  I chose this bike for that vintage cruiser style. It is so stylish it is literally a head turner, from kids to elder people everyone has clicked a photo with my bike. The features and performance of the bike is beyond commendable very modern. First things first the ride height is low so even a short person can comfortably get on the bike. I commute daily 52 kms for work and I have been getting an average of 35.7km/l very affordable. The handling is so easy as the handles of the bike are low compared to other cruisers, also the bike looks big but the weight is so light. I would really recommend this bike because I have used it for more than 15000 kms in almost 2 years and I can definitely say it is the best cruiser bike. The Honda engine is the best. It is very stylish and will give you the feeling of luxury. Performance 10/10, comfort 10/10 and the pillion also has a lot of fun. Mileage also I am getting 35.7kmpl

                  Better than RE
                  Purchased after test drive, excellent performance, comfortable and pleasure on riding highways, tall gearing and big gear lever are the only issue, as a mechanical engineer this bike feels like riding a power machine. Purchased if you want great experience not to flex the friends, seems like different from common bikes.

                  3 Months, 5k km and No Regrets with the CB350
                  I always wanted a retro cruiser. 2 months before purchasing the bike I didn't know that cb350 exist and was leaning more towards RE, but one fine day cb350s insta ad came and I tested it and fell in love with this bike. In 3 months I have ridden this bike just over 5k kms and the bike is butter smooth. The engine refinement is top notch. And the way people look at this bike with curiosity just boosts my confidence while riding. I once encounter a steep off-road patch and the bike went smoothly through it. From the reviews I came across many issues regarding rusting problem but for me it's not the issue as of now and I regularly use wd40. I would definitely recommend this bike. If you are confused between RE and this bike definitely go for Honda cb350. It is worth every penny. But first of all test ride the bike and see if it matches your expectations or not.

Its build quality is very impressive. Anyone looking for a simple, strong, everyday Honda bike will be happy with it.
