User Reviews of 42 and Roadster

5 Rating

Classic Style With Modern Features

The Jawa 42 feels reassuring when traffic gets unpredictable, especially with its anti lock braking system. I feel more confident when I need to brake suddenly or slow down quickly. The LED headlight also works well for evening rides and gives the front a clean look. I prefer having good visibility without the bike losing its classic appearance. These are the kind of things I appreciate more after using the bike regularly.
