                  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.

                  I recommend for students
                  Stylish and mileage is the objective and the bike looks is amazing and the bike 42 mileage in city and spacious e85 so give you savings. Yahama have a good service and you usually get any parts of the bike easily. This bike in highway it's feel like you riding a jet and the bike is so so amazing and in highway it's give you 45-50 mileage and the sites is good and this bike have good in build quality and the bike weight is so light. For college students and works it's good bike have good mileage and low maintenance cost so for college students is good. And I am a college student I have less pocket money but I save money from the pocket money.

                  roller coaster of emotions
                  Seeing this bike for the first time on road was nothing short of fabulous and i decided to buy it, the next day only, my personal experience has a lot of ups and down. - week 1 gear shifting was buttery smooth bus after 500kms it got stiff and rigid - mirrors do not suit the bike at all - very impressive performance - 10/10 road presence - suspension is slightly rigid in city commute - riding posture is a mix of sporty and aggressive - engine feels very smooth yet powerful at the same time overall the experience has been great, if you are looking for a bike for daily commute with a punch of power and occasional long rides, would 100% recommend buying it eyes closed, more importantly if you want a bike that makes you smile when you look at it, go for it.

                  This bike is awesome and stable
                  I choose this bike because of performance and mileage. Everything is perfect in the bike and the look and design is really awesome. It looks like a racer bike. This bike suit me a lot because I am 5.6. The performance of this bike is really awesome. I can play with this bike and this is really awesome for cruising or for racing because it has high performance gears and stability of the bike is awesome. I will recommend this to buy because I get sufficient mileage for city rides and if I want to go to highway, I can get around 36 to 37 which is really nice for long tours and rides. It comes with very less weight.

                  joy ....very bad experience
                  Buying experience not so good, riding comfort is too bad, look is good, performence is not so good, handle bar and rider body in between distance unmatched, this is very uncomfortable for long drive like 40 to 50 km, its make pressure on hand, build quality also bad, a new bike also make noise from the body part.
