Reviews of Jawa 42

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.

About the Reviewer

In my 35 years of experience, one of the worst bikes I have, and the service is very poor. Maintenance cost is very high. Apart from insurance, they asked me to put rsa. Even for a week if the bike is not started the battery gets drained due to a poor charging coil. Around 17500km runs disk break getting noise. Very very worst bike. Please do not go for it.

About the Reviewer

Everything thing in this bike is cool and it suits for me perfectly, but i waited for nearly 4 months after booking, the riding experience was kick-ass, I am heavy traveler I travel approximately 150-200 km per day, and i really love to ride it and i didn't get bored to drive it, in this price range this is extraordinary option.

About the Reviewer

1. Performance is not good.
2. Worst mileage
3. Servicing and maintenance costs are high and not well
4. If you drive more than 3km you can put an omelet in your engine.
5. No revaluation (asking a very less price)

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

Amazing overall. The seat is a little harder. From 0 to 450km I ride from calicut to bangalore. The ride was amazing. I'm trying to replace the seat. The seat is looking superb but comfort is harder. Performance is massive. Excellent power delivery. This is an excellent bike for the long rides also. Jawa only gives helmet and crash guard. Accessories are not available in the after-market. We need to buy everything from the Jawa dealer, but they have only limited accessories also. Jawa calicut dealers have no idea about some accessories also. I will write my second review after my first service.
Thank you Jawa for the wonderful experience with the "classic legend"

About the Reviewer

Buying experience was good
First and foremost build quality must be improved like speedometer and indicators don't work effectively and efficiently. Ground clearance is not good, even on a small height bumps the exhaust pipe hits the ground. Being and reputed brand these two features should have been considered
Pillion rider with medium height cannot sit for long distance as the height fro seat to the foot rest is very less. This causes knee pain in long drives.
Driving experience on long drive is good. Smooth for rider. Ergonomics for rider is good . But not for pillion rider.
Overall in my opinion Honda's new 350cc bike is much better option than jawa 42 and re.
