                  The Classic road presence
                  It's good if you want it for riding in city fir short distances..the looks are just awesome..It has a nice road presence and it will surely be worth it as it grabs attention of everyone in road and it's pickup is also good while riding in mountains I enjoy passing and it's classy design is definately worth it only issue with this is that some people might find it costly or high maintainance..and second is that as I am 6 feet so some minor issues if you are 5'9 5'10 just go for it best bike

                  Jawa 42 bobber
                  The Jawa 42 Bobber is one of the most eye-catching motorcycles in the cruiser segment. It’s a bold blend of retro charm and modern attitude, aimed at riders who want to stand out while enjoying a relaxed, yet powerful ride.Powered by a 334cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, the bike churns out around 30.64 PS of power and 32.74 Nm of torque. The performance is smooth and torquey, especially in the mid-range. It’s great for city rides and weekend cruises, though not built for high-speed touring.

                  Then yours choice
                  If you want this bike then you have to decided the bike rate, comfort, maintenance. bike comfort is not normal especially when you are fat guy because it causes pain to hand and back, rate and maintenance is high to the middle class people.bike mileage is 50 above only if you have maintain the bike.

                  Favorite bike forever in my collection i experienced another level of adventures when I ride this sports bike Yamaha have to launch its new version as soon as possible I can't wait for the newest one. Its milage upto 40km is too good if we are looking for sports bike at this budget and also it's pickup is much better.
