                  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.

                  It's power The Yezdi Roadster is widely considered the powerhouse of the 350cc neo-retro segment. While its rivals focus on a relaxed thumping experience the Roadster is built for riders who wants aggressive style.

                  Out of budget
                  Highway ride me maza aata hai or city me ye kamal kar deti hai lekin ek problem hai, 20 ki speed me chalane me problem karti hai, wo smoothness fill nahi hoti. Lekine power acchi hai or ye India ki har kone me ja sakti hai kahi bhi le jaoo ye jaye gi, mana nahin karegi, jahan bologe vahan jayegi. Or mileage ek dm kam hai average 23 ka mujko de rahi hai. Parts kafi costly hai aur sensors problem to nhi hui lakin meri bike me ek indicator ki relay kharab ho gai thi uske liye rs 15000 ki wiring ke liye bol rahe the. Me happy hu isko leke. Service or part available ho or average acha kare bike me, smoothness ki Kami hai bhai main power acchi hai. After market iske part available ho kyun ki part milane mein kafi dikkat ho rahi hai iske... Baki koi Kami nahin hai power bharpur hai maja aaega le lo.

                  The Rocker Beast.
                  I am very much dreaming to get this bike, very good looking cruiser segment bike with great dynamics. Feels very light and easy to handle, the straight wide rod handle bar and the seating posture is super comfortable. 334 cc oil cooled engine. 22 - 25 mileage and goes upto the top speed of 135 with ease and comfort.

                  Stylish with powerful engine but expensive s parts
                  I wanted a Stylish and powerful motorcycle with liquid cool , six speed gears so Roadster was there, I have ridden this bike almost 9000 km but never felt strain or fatigue. Compare to other bikes with same segment. This bike offers little more features like dual exhaust, slipper clutch, dual channel abs. Roadster is very comfortable for rider and powerful engine with high torque, i have enjoyed the bike so far. Front brake performance is very good compare to rear , only rear brake is not enough to stop at sudden moment , so we have to use both brakes at the same time . Even if you ride this bike in city you will never feel any wrist pain or fatigue. I would recommend this bike for office goers only not for students because high maintenance and low mileage offers as well as spare parts of this bike is so expensive and shortage. Overall the bike is amazing.
