The Bobber Has A Strong Visual Appeal

I find myself looking back at the 42 Bobber after parking it, especially when the diamond cut alloy wheels catch the light. The LED lighting gives the bike a different presence once the sun goes down. It is not about adding more equipment to the motorcycle. I like how these details change the way the Bobber looks in different surroundings. Even standing still at a cafe or outside my home, it has a presence that makes me want to take it out again.

Unmatched road presence with serious muscle!

If you want to turn heads at every traffic light, this is the perfect bike. The new all star model with stylish look design features a gorgeous floating single seat, chopped fenders, and low slung stance that looks straight out of a custom shop. The 334 cc engine packs a serious punch, delivering brilliant mid range torque that rockets you ahead in city traffic and cruises effortlessly on highways. The rear suspension feels stiff over sharp bumps, and it's strictly a solo-rider motorcycle. But for pure style and thrilling acceleration, nothing touches it.

Easy To Live With Every Day

The 30 kmpl mileage is decent for the way the Jawa 42 Bobber looks and feels. I can use it for regular rides without worrying too much about fuel. The digital speedometer also keeps things simple while riding. It gives the bike a modern touch without taking away from its old school styling. I enjoy the fact that the Bobber feels special even during a normal ride around town.
