Unique bobber which gets attention everywhere
This bike stands out the most in terms of stylish features in this segment, comfort of this bike I found it quite comfortable even for long distances. Its an eye grabbing bike with a high revving engine and 30 km/avg of mileage ideal for weekend getaways, or can be used as a daily its up to your lifestyle.

I switched from R15 to Bobber
I bought my 1st bobber this February 09 2026. I was looking for a cruiser, I went down to RE but test ride wasn't available and didn't got what I was looking in terms of looks and power. Then, my friend suggested me to checkout JAWA YEZDI MOTORCYCLES. When a saw JAWA 42 BOBBER i really liked the looks and fit and finish of the motorcycle. Later I take the test ride and this is beast exactly what I was looking for... I booked the motorcycle same day in August 2025 and took delivery this month. However the clutch and gear shifting is not as smooth as Japanese motorcycle. But that is completely fine not an issue.

The stunning java
Because of the design and style which made me impress and I like this bike which has single seated but compared to other single bike this looks amazing and I have already ride this bike before, which made me to take it. Good compared to other bikes as it comes with single seated riders for alone is the best bike for them I felt very comfortable as compared to other bikes it also has good mileage with that power. It feels amazing. I highly recommend this for those who are alone it is the best bike for them and also enjoyable as it has stunning design and style. It looks similar to super bikes because of the design of the bike. It also has good performance overall.

Best bike in Segment
Best looks for the price I paid for. No regrets after buying this. And also no guilt to skip Royal enfield. Should buy it as an enthusiastic person. Don't go for mileage and all it will give you the best comfort and you will love the performance from the bike without any modification. Best bike in it's segment with new features and modern looks.

Very satisfied 👍🏻
Got from a ktm showroom nearby. 6 months, running well. Surely locks all eyes on. Feels cool to ride around. Was told that back pain can occur. 5’10, and I’m quite comfortable with the ride so far. Maximum at a stretch 30km I have drove. Felt comfortable. Mileage is the only concern. But overall, when you sit on it and start riding, you’ll feel like a boss. Trust me.
