Classic Retro Motorcycle With Smooth Ride

Riding my new Jawa 42 to work gives me a sweet 28 kmpl mileage and a very smooth gearshift. The twin gas-filled shocks and spoke wheels give it that iconic retro look that I’ve always wanted to own. It has a 788 mm saddle height, and the 182 kg weight feels very light once moving.
