I'm writing this review after a month of riding my new Jawa, I have completed 1000km in first 3 week's, my overall experience was good, I travelled around 300km long trip which covers highway & normal roads, the journey was smooth, and I'm so happy with the engine side, I touched to 100kmph and 90kmph maximum time and there was no change in engine sound or I didn't noticed any vibrations from engine, for which I felt happy. Because previously I used royal Enfield classic 350 and I got irritated with the engine vibrations especially when it crosses 70kmph to 80kmph. Coming to appearance it looks great with powerful 300cc engine and especially that coolant attached to engine gives more powerful look. Coming to handling, I'm feeling more comfortable to handle my Jawa as it was less in weight. One more advantage is the bike's suspension, in what ever speed you ride and if we have to move it through potholes, we won't feel any inconvenience or back pain due to great suspension. And coming to seating, the seat may be little hard to sit ,but it was comfortable to ride without any issues, as it fits our exact seating position, matching the fuel tank. Till now I didn't took my bike for servicing, so I'm unable to write my experience about servicing. But coming to maintenance, the main disadvantage is, it was taking more fuel, and to be frank I'm not getting at least 30km per liter, I think this was mainly due to using my Bike for daily commute, where I'll hardly ride 40km per day for office purpose and always used to change the gears frequently in this traffic and road also very bad. And one more disadvantage is less ground clearance, I'm very much disappointed with this, before purchasing this bike .I went through hundreds of reviews on different sites and no one mentioned about less ground clearance(may be they never experienced it, or using their vehicle on highway I think !), it's so sad, when ever if we cross any speed breaker or if we travel on village roads with potholes, mainly both silencers and bottom of the engine will touch the ground if we ride the bike with minimum speed, and I've experienced it many times and I've slowing down the bike where ever I'm facing potholes or speed breakers to save it from touching the ground and protecting it. And finally in my opinion one can opt for Jawa 42,if they don't have problem with "less mileage" and "less ground clearance" the bike was overall good, and gives nice riding experience, but it looks small in size when compared to other variants in the same price, but easy to handle. It's up to you to decide!
Tips for Jawa 42
Preferable to use this bike on Highway's and for long trips, which gives better experience of riding and more mileage.
Find out the list of available Jawa Bikes.
The average of the 42 is 32 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.
Best bike i have ever seen

Gourab Kumar Dash
This is the best bike I've ever seen, I ride many bikes but I say that this is the best bike than RE and Yezdi, a lovely bike. I can ride this for 1 year and It is the best bike than Hunter 350. But the main problem is Jawa didn't provide more accesories with this. I bought it from off market.

Do not buy

Shashank Verma
Worst experience since you have to change all the parts one by one. Lots of problems. Frequent visits to the service centre. Since I bought Jawa 42 I have spent at least lakh rupees on it. New problems every week. Worst service centre experience. Too many problems like overheating even after liquid cool engine, performance drops mileage drops time to time to lowest 23-24. Oil leakage etc.

Very bad experience

I had a very bad experience, it happened that my bike fell 5 days back and after 5 days the fan got jammed and the wiring got burnt, I took it to the service center and they said that since the bike had fallen then a claim will have to be made in the insurance, I said ok, the claim people did not pass the wiring whose cost was 13000 and neither did the company pass it in warranty and every month some fault or the other keeps occurring, there is a lot of maintenance if someone wants to buy it then think carefully before buying it, it is better to buy Royal Enfield than this.

1. irrespective of price point it is a very good bike and the behaviour of the staff at the showroom is also very decent and cooperative. If you buy it for daily commuting you will not be disappointed.2. the bike is a little bit high with a seat height of 810mm but believe me it feels like 830+ due to its wide seat it will be difficult for short riders to flat foot on the ground. But its ground clearance is not good it touches high bumps if you are riding with a healthy pillion.It is very easy to ride in the city and on highways also.Its wide tires give you extra confidence while cornering but it doesn't provide ABS in the rear disc brake so if you push it hard the rear wheel skids but it is manageable.Next, the turning radius of the bike is not so good. You need a large space to take a complete U-turn.

The Czech marvel- Jawa 42
9 weeks ago
Adithya K Patel
I bought this bike with a total on-road price of 2.48 Lakhs in Bengaluru.This bike is an absolute masterpiece as compared to its RE and other rivals.It just looks retro-classy feels more comfortable and easier to ride and better turning radius than the RE classic version.I got around 2000 for service. Pros:1. Better riding position even for short people (5.5 ft) on average.2. Doesn't feel so heavy.3. Awesome exhaust.Cons:1. I think the service cost is higher than RE.2. Expensive spare parts.3. Low mileage and more fuel efficiency were expected.

Jawa 42 -The beast
10 weeks ago
Arjun
The buying experience was so good as I bought the bike from a good dealer Jawa Gachibowli Showroom. The dealer has having good service center as well. I bought the bike with spot cash and it cost me around 2.5 Lakh on the road price. The riding experience is comfortable and you can easily ride long distances with Jawa 42. The looks are premium enough with stunning headlights and sidelights. The servicing is high enough and costs you around 2000 per service. The first 3 services are labor free. It gives you around 28 Kmpl in the city and 35+ on highways. The pros are performance with beast looks, premium feeling, and control at high speed. I can say cons like heating issues and it gives heat directly to legs and the key is not premium look-wise.

Do not buy

Shashank Verma
Worst experience since you have to change all the parts one by one. Lots of problems. Frequent visits to the service centre. Since I bought Jawa 42 I have spent at least lakh rupees on it. New problems every week. Worst service centre experience. Too many problems like overheating even after liquid cool engine, performance drops mileage drops time to time to lowest 23-24. Oil leakage etc.

Very bad experience
2 weeks ago
Abhay Bagde
I had a very bad experience, it happened that my bike fell 5 days back and after 5 days the fan got jammed and the wiring got burnt, I took it to the service center and they said that since the bike had fallen then a claim will have to be made in the insurance, I said ok, the claim people did not pass the wiring whose cost was 13000 and neither did the company pass it in warranty and every month some fault or the other keeps occurring, there is a lot of maintenance if someone wants to buy it then think carefully before buying it, it is better to buy Royal Enfield than this.

super bike

1. irrespective of price point it is a very good bike and the behaviour of the staff at the showroom is also very decent and cooperative. If you buy it for daily commuting you will not be disappointed.2. the bike is a little bit high with a seat height of 810mm but believe me it feels like 830+ due to its wide seat it will be difficult for short riders to flat foot on the ground. But its ground clearance is not good it touches high bumps if you are riding with a healthy pillion.It is very easy to ride in the city and on highways also.Its wide tires give you extra confidence while cornering but it doesn't provide ABS in the rear disc brake so if you push it hard the rear wheel skids but it is manageable.Next, the turning radius of the bike is not so good. You need a large space to take a complete U-turn.

The Czech marvel- Jawa 42
9 weeks ago
Adithya K Patel
I bought this bike with a total on-road price of 2.48 Lakhs in Bengaluru.This bike is an absolute masterpiece as compared to its RE and other rivals.It just looks retro-classy feels more comfortable and easier to ride and better turning radius than the RE classic version.I got around 2000 for service. Pros:1. Better riding position even for short people (5.5 ft) on average.2. Doesn't feel so heavy.3. Awesome exhaust.Cons:1. I think the service cost is higher than RE.2. Expensive spare parts.3. Low mileage and more fuel efficiency were expected.

Jawa 42 -The beast
10 weeks ago
Arjun
The buying experience was so good as I bought the bike from a good dealer Jawa Gachibowli Showroom. The dealer has having good service center as well. I bought the bike with spot cash and it cost me around 2.5 Lakh on the road price. The riding experience is comfortable and you can easily ride long distances with Jawa 42. The looks are premium enough with stunning headlights and sidelights. The servicing is high enough and costs you around 2000 per service. The first 3 services are labor free. It gives you around 28 Kmpl in the city and 35+ on highways. The pros are performance with beast looks, premium feeling, and control at high speed. I can say cons like heating issues and it gives heat directly to legs and the key is not premium look-wise.

Keep the bike under shadow and cover it with a bike cover as the bike comes with a mate finish and is prone to dust easily. Change the oil every 2500 kms for better maintenance and performance
