    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.

  • Poor reliability.

    1 year ago


    Kallol Sarkar

    It's a horrible thing that happened in my life. At 7000 km had to change the magnetic coil, at 10000 engine started missing out, and at 15000 had to change gaskit, rectifier, and magnetic coil again. Stalling issue still persists after several reminders to the service center. Worst built quality and service experience ever.

  • Waste of money

    1 year ago


    Rajendra Pradhan

    Waste of money, you can buy other bikes at the same price as Jawa 42 .
    Defects-
    A lock is not working after 3 months,
    Continuously fuse cutting after 1 year.
    Facing so many problems.
    Never recommended to anyone.
    Heavy maintenance.
    Every time needs the adjustment of the chain.
    The problem is unresolved even after servicing.
    And the service center is unavailable in my nearest location.

  • It isn't a bike. Its a lemon!!

    2 years ago


    Chinmay

    Plenty has been written about the way this bike looks. This isn't a motorcycle it's a lemon!!
    The bike started giving me problems right from the day I bought it. It stalled on numerous occasions while I was riding it just after delivery!! the local dealership and its service center are downright pathetic. Have to take the bike for service every Saturday!! every time one problem is solved two more crop up. It stalls at high speeds, racer jams within a short span, chain squeaks after riding 50 odd kms..Etc. Etc. It's a bouquet of issues. Request people to not buy this half-baked product.

  • Low exhaust note

    2 years ago


    Avinash Samal

    Liked everything about the 42 2.1 except d exhaust note. Despite of having 2 exhausts it could have little more loud exhaust note like its competitors and should have atleast a led headlight unit. Except these 2 everything is good on this motorcycle. And i think military olive green or camouflaged version of 42 2.1 would be the best looking retro modern motorcycle.

    It looks cool. Best part- 1) liquid cooled engine 2) classic & retro design 3) more power of 27hp from 300cc engine compared to only 19.2hp power from 350cc engine of royal enfield 4) single channel abs 5) hot & handsome bad part- 1) dual channel abs is not present.
    Finally bike is best performance and look.

  • Go for it

    27 weeks ago


    Aditya Purohit

    It was just an awesome experience with Jawa, The built quality is too good and requires less maintenance and also good milage. Don't forget to change the oil after a 2500km drive and the buying experience was good in a friendly environment just go for it.
    That's all my review of my bike.

    Rohan Padhan

    Winning does not matter to this review, it was my dream bike. when I earned money first purchased this bike. When I needed this bike I had no savings it made me very guilty. I also want to say I wrote this review not to win this price, I review this because it is greater than my friend. Thanks for this bike.

    It was just an awesome experience with Jawa, The built quality is too good and requires less maintenance and also good milage. Don't forget to change the oil after a 2500km drive and the buying experience was good in a friendly environment just go for it.
    That's all my review of my bike.

    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.

  • Poor reliability.

    1 year ago


    Kallol Sarkar

    It's a horrible thing that happened in my life. At 7000 km had to change the magnetic coil, at 10000 engine started missing out, and at 15000 had to change gaskit, rectifier, and magnetic coil again. Stalling issue still persists after several reminders to the service center. Worst built quality and service experience ever.

    Rajendra Pradhan

    Waste of money, you can buy other bikes at the same price as Jawa 42 .
    Defects-
    A lock is not working after 3 months,
    Continuously fuse cutting after 1 year.
    Facing so many problems.
    Never recommended to anyone.
    Heavy maintenance.
    Every time needs the adjustment of the chain.
    The problem is unresolved even after servicing.
    And the service center is unavailable in my nearest location.

    2 years ago


    Chinmay

    Plenty has been written about the way this bike looks. This isn't a motorcycle it's a lemon!!
    The bike started giving me problems right from the day I bought it. It stalled on numerous occasions while I was riding it just after delivery!! the local dealership and its service center are downright pathetic. Have to take the bike for service every Saturday!! every time one problem is solved two more crop up. It stalls at high speeds, racer jams within a short span, chain squeaks after riding 50 odd kms..Etc. Etc. It's a bouquet of issues. Request people to not buy this half-baked product.

  • Low exhaust note

    2 years ago


    Avinash Samal

    Liked everything about the 42 2.1 except d exhaust note. Despite of having 2 exhausts it could have little more loud exhaust note like its competitors and should have atleast a led headlight unit. Except these 2 everything is good on this motorcycle. And i think military olive green or camouflaged version of 42 2.1 would be the best looking retro modern motorcycle.
