      The best bike for travel combines comfort, durability, and efficiency. Look for a touring or adventure bike with a strong frame that ensures a smooth, comfortable ride and an enjoyable journey. The Jawa 42 is a great example.

      This bike is average. It’s suitable for legendary riders and long trips, but it has fewer service centres and gives less mileage than the company claims. It also requires frequent maintenance, which is quite costly for a middle-class person.

      The power and the torque was too good. The riding comfort, breaking efficiency and the control is remarkable. I always loved to ride the machine.
