                  My review of jawa 42 bobber
                  The looks of the bike is absolutely fenomenal the bike is extremely unique because no brand offers a proper bobber bike for such affordable price only few bobber bikes are available in india for ex indian bobber or triumph bonnevile bobber and this jawa 42 bobber this bike is almost amazing to ride and it brings pure joy and fun fully value for money. Extremely good. i have ridden many types of bikes from many different brands but this is absolutely beautiful to ride, the performance is absolutely good although i have few minor issues like heating issue. oh man please i have special request to jawa that please do something about heating issue, the bike heats so much it is unbelievable, also sometimes just sometimes the front brakes make wierd noises and also i have another small issue which is rear brakes. rear brakes are very weak. i will always recommend to use front brakes because rear brakes are very weak of this bike so be careful with brakes, otherwise besides these minor issues the bike is absolutely perfect to ride and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this bike, why because this is bike that is only one and only in its segment, no brand i repeat no brand makes or offer affordable proper bobber motorcycle, some brand try to replicate like royal enfield but this outclass classic 350 very easily, the price is extremely affordable for such a bike.

                  BEST INVESTMENT FOR FUTUTR
                  Best investment for future, best in looks and best for small height people. Good mileage, if you want to mode then this is the best, ground clearance is short which makes it more attractive. Best finance offers from jawa yezdi chandigarh, if you want a bobber style bike then this is the bike you should go for.

                  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.

                  superb bike in this segment
                  Best cc bike in this segment. it has nice pickup. its a horse, exhaust note is just amazing, best bike for college students. Public reaction is crazy after seeing this bike. It is 225 cc bike but it gives mileage of 40 kmpl is crazy man, the pillion seat is more comfortable and specially the riding posture after all, best bike by the looks and features.

                  TVS Ronin: Style Meets Struggle
                  Looks comfortable for daily commute of 140- 150 km. TVS Ronin offers 225 cc engine with good mileage of 40 kmpl, stunning looks which makes the heads turn, royal and comfy feel without compromising on city ride quality and oil cooling for better engine efficiency. Ride is smooth, punchy, confident and feels agile, makes you confident while riding but struggles in corners because of TVS tyres which lacks grip, comfort and art of cornering. The whole setup looks balanced for the price hence can't complain for that. Yes, I would recommend this bike if you are a person who can spend more on cost of ownership, the service center work is little bad, if you can tackle them thats on you because I have been doing the same, just to put your point, you have to complain otherwise they do not take you seriously specially the centers in small cities like Dewas, MP.
