                • Cons
                • Jawa 42 FJ

                  • Looks old school and like nothing else on the market and the build quality has gone up too
                  • Engine is much smoother than before
                  • You don’t feel the 184kg kerb weight the moment you start riding

                  Honda CB350RS

                  • The neo-retro design has been executed very well and the bike looks pretty good
                  • Engine is very smooth and refined, with no vibrations felt even at higher speeds
                  • Brakes are very responsive and provide good feedback
                • Jawa 42 FJ

                  • Finish levels could’ve been better
                  • Doesn’t come in a chrome colour scheme which would’ve significantly added to the visual appeal
                  • Reverse LCD console is hard to read under direct sunlight

                  Honda CB350RS

                  • Is quite a bit expensive when compared to its rivals
                  • Lacks a distinct flavour, and feels like just a slightly altered variant of the CB350 H’ness
                  • Engine lacks the bottom end torque expected from a long stroke motor

                  Looks like a beast and runs like one too
                  Great appealing raod presence with nice cafe racer looks power is good enough justifies the 334 CC engine very refined engine without vibration not riding posture is also good for long rides the dual exaust puts an extra enhanced look giving it a majestic look Ride's been wonderful just one problem i have faced is the leg guard assembly is fitted inside the cooling fan frame on the left side which makes the fan vulnerable to damage if the leg guard crashes and bends a little it hinders the movement of the fan I would recommend this bike definitely a good bike just so people know if you are purchasing this bike you should not be subjective to fuel efficiency all other things are brilliant and up to the mark for me

                  Royal feel with style and power
                  I chose it for the look. It has a royal feel. The round headlight and flat seat look classic. The sound is bold. It is not too loud, just right. I wanted a bike with style and power. Jawa 42 had both. It made me feel proud when I rode it. Riding is so smooth. The seat is soft and handle easy. The bike runs well in city and highway. I ride slow and fast, both feel nice. No shake at high speed. It stops quick too. I went on a trip and it was fun. No pain after long ride. Good shockers. Yes, it is a good buy. The bike is worth the money. It rides well and looks cool. People ask what bike it is. I feel proud. It is not heavy. Easy to ride and care for. If you like simple and strong bikes, you will love it. I say yes, go get it.

                  Good in the highways, not that good in the cities
                  It has really good looks Honestly it is a retro scrambler like a royal enfield but i went for the honda for its engine and mileage Honda has a good reliability record The engine has a perfect rythm that will make you fall in love. I have rode around 5000 km The suspension is stiffer than expected especially in the rear. Great handling . Needed a sprocket change earlier than expected but the service is good and the price is also descent. It has good mileage on the highways but i usually drive it in the city, still not bad Good looks and a lovely engine rhythm Not recommended for city use the tall gearing is really annoying in the cities.

                  CB 350 RS REVIEW
                  It has amazing pickup . Good low end torque . And amazing top end speed . It has amazing features like bluetooth connection. Abs and tcs amazing . But heavy for city riding but when it's above 40kmh It feels like a feather Vibration are a concern but it doesn't matter when you have 350Cc engine blow you

                  Retro with loaded power and japanese reliability
                  Riding this bike is like riding in heaven, the sound is so peaceful to hear the exhaust note nice and milage is also good as compared to other bikes and the low end torque is also good, the reliability of the bike is so good because of honda but the experience with service centre was not so good overall bike experience was nice
