2021 Jawa 42 2.1 vs Honda CB350RS - which sporty retro should you choose? | OVERDRIVE

Once you have a potent platform it is only natural that you make you lucrative by expanding it into multiple product offerings. From simple platform sharing like Kawasaki’s 650 line-up of Ninja, Versys, Vulcan and Z, to the more complicated platform siblings like the Audi RS Q8 and the Lamborghini Urus - we have seen manu examples of how manufacturers develop a good platform and milk it for eternity. In a bid to take on Royal Enfield, Honda and Jawa have taken a relatively similar approach by developing an excellent standard motorcycle - in this case the CB350 H’ness and the Jawa - and expanding it into multiple body styles to make the portfolio more appealing. So what we have here are the two new entrants, the Honda CB350RS and the Jawa 42 2.1. Which one should you choose? Watch the video to make an informed choice!
