Jawa 42 FJ Price in Gonda

First, the dealers were fraudulent ( Shri Ambe Auto Sales Etawah). They committed fraud regarding accessories; they have installed old 42 bike accessories, mileage is bad, 20kmpl after the second service, the Clutch plate went within 4000 kms, the petrol tank cap is not properly finished can't open smoothly. Very disappointed as it was my first bike with high hopes.

About the Reviewer

You are going to feel the power while riding.
Overall a complete package for retro bike lovers.
The front suspension is quite good.
Breaking is amazing.
Cons:- Rear suspension is on a little bit more stiffer side.
Mild heating issues but can be ignored if you are riding 350 cc motorcycle.

About the Reviewer

First Impression & Looks:
Amazing! It really stands out, especially since all RE bikes look the same.
Build Quality & Comfort:
Quite good overall, but some bolts have rusting issues.
Performance & Engine:
In its price segment of retro bikes, it has no match. The engine is powerful, and the brakes are amazing.
Handling & Ride Quality:
A bit hard to handle in the city, but very good for highway rides.
Braking & Safety:
Excellent braking performance. Compared to RE bikes, which usually have very poor braking, this one is outstanding.
Features & Technology:
Almost nothing in terms of features or modern tech. Very disappointing for this price point.
Mileage & Running Cost:
I rev it a lot and ride hard, so I get around 22–25 km/l. But it doesn’t bother me much because I enjoy the roar of the engine.
Reliability & Practicality:
After 6 months, I haven’t faced any reliability issues. However, practicality is poor—it’s very difficult to handle in traffic, the pillion seat has almost no space, and the seat itself feels quite short.
Final Verdict:
If you mostly ride alone or on highways, just go for it—you will not regret it. But for city use, I’d suggest looking at other options.
