Jawa Motorcycles has launched its latest offering, the 42 FJ. It is based on the Pune-based brand’s latest 350 platform and here is what the bike looks like.
Similar to the existing Jawa motorcycles, the 42 FJ too looks properly old-school and retro. It gets a round LED headlight, a tubular handlebar, and gets bar-end mirrors too. It is being offered in five paint scheme – red, brown, blue, black, and green.
Powering the new Jawa 42 FJ is a 334cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It makes 21.45bhp and 29.62Nm and gets a six-speed gearbox.
Jawa has offered the 42 FJ with telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks, while the braking hardware comprises front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. However, the wheels vary according to the models. The base trim gets spoke wheels with tubed tyres, whereas the higher-spec version gets alloy wheels with tubeless tyres.
The entire bike gets a brushed aluminium finish, which further enhances its aesthetics. Jawa is likely to offer accessories as well with the new 42 FJ.
