It was a pleasure to hear that jawas were coming again...Rode yezdi in bangalore...Very old model...I guess it was 1968-1969...But always powerful n full of fun...Buying the bike was very easy...Take it the way u want to...Emi or one shot payment...Got it in 10-12 after booking...Took test drive of 42 n perak...Chose 42 as perak had much long waiting...Stance between 42 n standard is minor different so choose the way u like it...All new technology now...It misses onto some points...Kick start should be there...Has a different feel...Trip meter not there...Looks are to die for...Ppl will stop you and ask about your bike for sure...Attention will be given where ever you would stop or ride...It's a headturner...Service is easy...It's a very maintainable bike...Service cost would be under 2000...Also if it is under warranty parts would be changed free of cost...Pros Good bike for ppl under 5'8" Handling is easy...Brakes are pretty good...Powerful engine with less sound Light weight in comparison to the rivals Cons: Felt little vibration after crossing 110 however how many time u go that fast Seat is pretty stiff.
Tips for Jawa 42
Stick to jawa service plan... moreover local machanic know nothing abt it...so beware... For long rides your service booklet has full points...please follow... It will respect you...make a connection/bond the way you treat it...

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
5 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
7 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

Classic body type with Sporty engine.

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.

Change oil after 3000km. the second at 6000 km or 6 months, the third at 12 months or 12000 km, and the fourth at 18000 km or 18 months. Issues: Ignition issues, Battery issues, Oil Gauge issues, Oxygen Sensor issues, utterly poor service centres, Chain issues. But now it was Amazing. There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem. Nowadays guindy service centre is doing good. My opinion is not a bad response to them.

Good bike to ride

Abid Sufiyan
The buying experience was not very satisfying. The riding experience is awesome, and outstanding balancing good work Jawa. If it comes to looks, the Jawa 42 is better than the RE bullet. Servicing and maintenance are honestly very high.There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem.

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
5 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
7 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

Classic body type with Sporty engine.

Abhishek Lipare
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.

Change oil after 3000km. the second at 6000 km or 6 months, the third at 12 months or 12000 km, and the fourth at 18000 km or 18 months. Issues: Ignition issues, Battery issues, Oil Gauge issues, Oxygen Sensor issues, utterly poor service centres, Chain issues. But now it was Amazing. There is a Heating problem and service centers are not doing well enough to solve the problem. Nowadays guindy service centre is doing good. My opinion is not a bad response to them.
