            • Has modern features with LED lighting and semi-digital instrument console
            • Very good engine refinement
            • Brakes offer good feedback

            Jawa 42

            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

            Honda CB350

            • Restricted Big Wing dealership network
            • Riding at lower speeds in higher gears is difficult and will need frequent gear changes
            • Suspension can bottom out when hitting sharp potholes

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps
