    The buying and riding experience is good, but the low-end torque of gears is pretty low, so best bike for highway rides, avoid in-city rides with this bike.
    Looks and performance is top notch in 2.5 lacks, but mileage is very bad at city 22-24 kmpl. On the highway, you get mileage around 27.
    Servicing is nearly costly.
    Pros- 27 hp feels on the road.
    Cons - low ground clearance.

  • Modern classic legend

    5 years ago


    Rkdevar

    Took a test drive and it was amazing. The competition of re and all is only notional, given the handling and the acceleration. Sleek yet sturdy, just the right height and wonderful colours - a modern classic. Rode on yezdi classic d-250, yezdi cl-ii, road king and the monarch. The same feel - 310 kms in 4.5 hours flat with two tea breaks in between, was my routine.

  • Good for those who want to try something different

    9 weeks ago


    Harshraj Kanesh

    There is a need to change gears frequently. Talking about the seat, it is a little less comfortable for a long ride. The engine heat is too much during city riding. And if we talk about this pickup then it is the best 350/300 segment cruiser bike. And the Mileage is less than 30 before the first service.

    Bhuvnesh Gahlot

    Excellent experience with Jawa 42 2.1, legendary look, comfortable for the long drive, Superb feeling while riding.
    I have been using JAWA 's bike for 1 year and again want to go with JAWA 42 FJ.
    Only one thing as conc. Service is expensive compared to others.
    Loaded with all accessories looks like a monster.
