                • 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

                  2024 Yezdi Roadster

                  • Eye catching design that gives the Roadster an overall big bike feel
                  • Good sporty performance thanks to the high revving engine
                  • Flat handlebar and mid-set footpegs give neutral riding posture and great handling
                • 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

                  2024 Yezdi Roadster

                  • Engine refinement is not up to the mark and vibrations are present at the higher revs
                  • Firm suspension setup makes slowing down at poor sections of road necessary
                  • Fit and finish levels aren’t as good as one would expect from a bike in this price segment

                  My 1 year Riding Experience and Review
                  I bought the Jawa 42 FJ in October'24 shortly after its launch. It was my first bike, the main reason I went for it was that it's one of the most appealing bike in 350cc segment -- particularly because of stylish looks, riding comfort, safety and the soul that feels truly alive. I have ridden it for around 3500KM over the last year, This bike is very stable thus gives excellent high-speed handling. The mileage is also good -- I've been getting mileage of around 20-22km/l. But when it comes to safety, this bike is highly reliable which sets it apart in its class. I had an incident where another biker, coming from opposite direction at high speed crashed directly into my bike, yet my bike remained fully stable. Its standard Jawa leg guard and sump guard absorbed the entire impact and I didn't get a single scratch on my body. I got my leg-guard and Sump guard replaced and my bike looks absolutely brand new. I would recommend the Jawa 42 FJ to anyone who has little to decent driving skills and prioritizes safety and riding comfort. This bike is good choice for the first time buyers and riders of mid-height -- I'm 5'8'' myself and never had any trouble handing it.

                  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.

                  Pros and cons of yezdi roadster 2024
                  I choose this bike for comfortable riding position and good performance, I saw this bike for many times and choose to buy this bike. It is been 3 years of purchase and still it is so smooth and comfortable, this bike has some retro cruiser vibes. Some times their is problem to ride this bike in traffic because it's handle is quite tough to turn it. I have done many long rides it is good in highway as well as in city rides also. It some suspension problem at high speeds but it is easy to control at high speed. Yes, I would definitely recommend this bike. It have nice appearance on road you will get nice reviews on roads. If you are cruiser bike guy you can definitely buy this bike. You can do long rides or you can use for travel to your office also.
