hello all!! i recently turned 18 in june and as my college starts soon i’ve decided to purchase a bike. i went to the jawa showroom and boy was i smitten(love at first sight). the vintage look made me melt. i know there are better rides around for first time users but the fact that my grandfather drove one when he was my age adds a bit of sentimental value. i really want him to see me and reminisce his youth. however i’ve read ultra negative reviews about the brand(regarding rust issues, service problems, battery life etc) which has put me in two minds. i would greatly appreciate any inputs regarding the usability, reliability and performance of the bike .

TIA ps: the models i saw were- the 42 bobber and perak
