Riding experience is very good. Service, details is very well. I wish one day I will buy this bike. Very good experience. I ride this in dumdum Kolkata. Overall I ride 50 to 60 km...Experience is very good. I also driven royal enfield bullet 350 bs6. I think Jawa 42 is better than royal enfield bullet 350.

I wanted to replace my classic 350 but I am hesitate what I have to but mateor or jawa 42.First time when I go for test drive I can't even back without booking. It's very smooth and easily ride in city or traffic. Especially it's look ,meter box branding .I gave it second service its very smooth just give new liquide, chain cleaning and other some cleaning. I have not faced any problem only one thing is ground clearance finishing and speed is very bad.

It took near about a month to deliver the bike. Riding experience is good. Took it to 2 tour where distance is near about 450 to 500 km. Regarding the performance, there is no issue when it comes for long ride but the engine gets too hot in the busy road where we need to shift gear. Spare parts are not easily available. Need to purchase that from showroom. Start is a problem for this bike. Engine gets shut down quite often in busy road.
Major draw back, it has not tubeless tires and there is issue with rusting.
Over all performance is very good. Easy ride for long trip.

Classic variant design looks good. Long riding is not comfortable as so much heat is produced from engine. Tank capacity is low. Speedometer is not comfortable and ground clearance is very low with unsatisfied riding. Suspension is so hard. Radiator sound is heavy. Not value for value unlike Royal Enfield Classic 350. Totally a Light weight machine.

2021 Jawa 42 Version 2.1: First Ride Review

12 February 2021

Vikrant Singh

The 42 is more popular because well it’s not stuck in the past like the beautiful but old school Classic Jawa. And to build on this popularity Classic Legends, the company, has introduced the Version 2.1.

2019 Jawa Forty-Two First Ride Review

14 December 2018

Vikrant Singh

This is the more affordable, younger-looking, and as its maker likes to say, open-chested version of the Jawa. It shares the engine, gearbox, cycle parts, and, in fact, almost all of its body work with the standard Jawa. We have already ridden and written about the new Jawa...
