The Jawa 42 feels friendly and smooth from the first ride. The 294cc engine delivers steady power and a mileage of around 30 kmpl in daily use. The relaxed seating and retro styling make every ride enjoyable. It works well for daily commuting while still feeling special on weekend rides.

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.

Beginner Friendly Modern Classic
This bike is incredibly light at 182 kg and the 788 mm seat height makes it very beginner-friendly. I appreciate the 28 kmpl mileage and the 165 mm ground clearance which is sufficient for most city roads. The semi-digital meter is unique, and the assist and slipper clutch makes gear shifts feel very smooth.

Smooth Daily Cruiser
Jawa 42 handles daily city rides effortlessly. The retro-modern styling looks premium, while braking feels confident. Pillion comfort is adequate for short trips. The bike’s 13.2 L fuel tank is convenient for errands, and top speed 130 km/h feels strong on open roads. Analogue console displays essential information without distraction.
