Jawa 42 Summary
Jawa 42 is a cruiser bike available in 9 variants and 13 colours. The Jawa 42 is powered by 294.72cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 26.94 bhp and a torque of 26.84 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Jawa 42 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This 42 bike weighs 184 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 13.2 liters.
The Jawa 42 is a modern retro motorcycle and it has received a lot of updates for 2024. The bike’s design, to begin with, draws inspiration from yesteryear Jawas. The bike has a round headlight, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, and a curved rear fender. Jawa has been particular about keeping the retro aspect intact by offering a traditional halogen headlight.
The bike is available in two variants and the lower-spec Jawa 42 gets an analogue display with an inset digital readout. The top-spec bike gets a fully digital dashboard.
Powering the Jawa 42 is a 294.7cc, liquid-cooled engine that has received some internal tweaks. It is called the J-Panther and it makes 27bhp and 26.84Nm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox, which also gets an assist and slip clutch.
Jawa has worked on improving engine refinement and NVH levels. The bike also gets a new, smaller radiator, which is much more efficient at heat management than the radiator in the outgoing bike.
Under the bodywork, there’s a double cradle frame that’s suspended by a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. While the suspension hardware is the same, the compression and rebound damping have been revised. The bike rides on alloy wheels but one can also opt for wire spoke rims by choosing the lower-spec bike.
The Jawa 42 is available in 14 colour options out of which six are new. They are Vega White, Voyager Red, Asteroid Grey, Odyssey Black, Nebula Blue, and Celestial Copper Matte.
The Jawa 42 goes up against the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Honda H’ness CB350, and the Honda CB350RS.

JAWA 42 Classic - Worst Bike Everowned
8 weeks ago
Sunil
One of the worst bikes ever bought. Big '0' resale value, performance was very bad, service experience from a showroom in Attapur was very very bad, spare parts are very very costly, and vehicle maintenance was too high. On the whole, I would advise sincerely to bike lovers to not purchase JAWA bikes. I have used multiple bikes but this one was the worst.

The roadster beast
17 weeks ago
Adithyan
It was an awesome experience I had with the Jawa, especially on its delivery and the bike is a night beast with its stunning roadster looks it's one of the best cruise bikes in this price segment. The engine's roar is undefined it's an adrenaline rush for me it's a beast and it also has a nice mileage of around 30kmpl and its maintenance is also cheap. The only disadvantage based on my experience is the single channel abs except that I suggest this is the right choice for cruise lovers.

Never buy as such bullshit buy a bullock instead
14 weeks ago
Chetan
I dare you not to buy this bike ever in life. It's an image spoiler and just an illusion. I will not purchase a Jawa ever in my life. buy a bullock it costs less and will never stop on roads and either need people to toe and pull it to a service station where they will cost unnecessary recommend buying a bullock instead of this Jawa and their brand and all

First iteration of a good comeback.
14 weeks ago
Sachin Amirapu
I owned the first iteration of the bike, it had various issues including battery, seat comfort, and shorter gears. It had been improved through the iterations. But the lack of corrections and callbacks in the previous variants made it unbearable to continue owning it, I have later sold it for 50% of the value.

Never buy any Jawa Yezdi bike
15 weeks ago
Somenath Ghosh
Dear prospective buyersPlease read carefully before buying any variant of Jawa yezdiI bought this shit product of Jawa 42 on December 21. After 25 days it started making my life miserable. At an interval of every 2 months, the engine malfunction light lits on and the vehicle comes to the no response stage. Even I had to get assistance os RSA and tow my bike 4 times. Worst ever performance. I had to sell my 2 and half year Jawa 42 for only Rs 70,000. Compelled to foreclose my loan. Also, all service centers are bull shit and spares are not available. One of the service centers even billed me for a clutch cable which they didn't replace. Recommend everyone not to opt for Jawa Yezdi. I took the time to write this. I am a sufferer and don't want others to face this.
