My 23 months experience with the 42 is very good never had any problem with the bike.. Handling too good, braking, power of the bike also too good. Specially for long rides had amazing time with the bike.. Since date while riding the bike never had any issues with the bike.. Only needed to change the seat.. Rest is all best..

Every 500 kms it's better you clean and chain lube your bike chain for good and smooth rides.. And fill nitrogen air for the bike for best performance, and maintain air pressure..

Jawa 4.2.1 is a good bike to visual appeal its power was better than royal enfield 350 classic, Honda highness, meteor 350. Riding experience was very good, better than other brands in same segment. Very soon am going buy this jawa 4.2.1 300cc bike. Ready to buy it. For others my recommendation is to take test ride then you can go for it .

Hi friends it's great to talk about a legendary motorbike that used to be the heartbeat of the youth in 70's & 80's in our country. I was lucky that my father owned one and I have enjoyed several memorable rides with him. The peculiar sound was symbolic and easily made it's presence felt on the streets. I am 48 now and have rediscovered my childhood nostalgia to have the same bike. Even more elegant and beautiful than before. I proudly own a glossy nebula blue jawa 42 and have ridden merely 3000 kms but i am compelled to sell out the bike as the dealership and service centre has shut down in my city and the nearest one is 280 kms therefore it is not feasible for me to get with it. It has been a wonderful experience and joy to have owned my dream bike once again in my life. Keep rocking. My best wishes to all those who aspire to chase the same dream.

Tips for other riders
Riding single and short distances will do better. Keep the chain clean, timely change of engine oil and periodic service will be required. Also be slow and watchful with ground clearance at speed breakers and pits on the road. Just cruise down the highway.. One genuine issue with this bike is overheating so please don't allow children to play around the bike just after a long drive..

A near perfect machine for all riding souls

Soumyadip Chakraborty
Till now I have done only 1500 kms on my jawa.But I took every ride(almost)for reviewing it since I got a Creta too I ride jawa for fun only. Recently I got attracted to touring on bikes and I desired a cruiser for long. Now lets discuss my findings.1.Engine is very responsive2.Braking is fantastic3.looks just wow4.For city rides its quite comfortable, but not so on touring5.you won't get that thump of an RE6.Horn could have been louder.7.Top end is not very strong.Now what I did , I installed peraks handlebar, changed stock seat, installed hydraulic clutch for ease in long rides.I don't have any complaints on performance. Its cruising speed is around 80 km/h. If you ride it in 60 km/h you are more than relaxed and upto 80 its stays composed. Beyond 100 bike feels light, not planted. Sitting on jawa for more than 1hour may be painful at a stretch. Lights are kind of ok.Overall I would like to give 7/10 .If you want a cruiser with performance go for it. Its not that dull like RE.

Purchased the bike in the month of Aug- 2020. For first 3k kms, Riding experience was smooth. But everything changed after a long ride of 570 km. Started facing problems like oil leakage, vibration after crossing 80 km in highways, rusting and ground clearance also started with jawa. If you and pillion go for a ride during night time, headlamp will face upwards. There was a short circuit in the headlamp during a short ride. In 12 months, I have visited service center more than 15 times. Jawa has to hire trained professionals for their service center. Tensioner gasket has to be replaced for 8000 kms. Service cost is 4200 for 3rd service. Pros: looks only. Nothing other than that.Cons: vibration, battery issues, frequent break sound, maintenance, ground clearance. Don't go with jawa.

Powerful cruiser for short riders
2 years ago
Sakhil Malik
I love riding the bike as it's the only cruiser bike available in India for short riders with two exhausts, vibrant colours, great looks and yes all this with a powerful engine. Above all it comes at a very competitive and unbeatable price which makes it distinctive. It's quite stable and smooth at a high speed with all comfort to both rider and pillion rider.

Hi friends it's great to talk about a legendary motorbike that used to be the heartbeat of the youth in 70's & 80's in our country. I was lucky that my father owned one and I have enjoyed several memorable rides with him. The peculiar sound was symbolic and easily made it's presence felt on the streets. I am 48 now and have rediscovered my childhood nostalgia to have the same bike. Even more elegant and beautiful than before. I proudly own a glossy nebula blue jawa 42 and have ridden merely 3000 kms but i am compelled to sell out the bike as the dealership and service centre has shut down in my city and the nearest one is 280 kms therefore it is not feasible for me to get with it.

A near perfect machine for all riding souls

Soumyadip Chakraborty
Till now I have done only 1500 kms on my jawa.But I took every ride(almost)for reviewing it since I got a Creta too I ride jawa for fun only. Recently I got attracted to touring on bikes and I desired a cruiser for long. Now lets discuss my findings.1.Engine is very responsive2.Braking is fantastic3.looks just wow4.For city rides its quite comfortable, but not so on touring5.you won't get that thump of an RE6.Horn could have been louder.7.Top end is not very strong.Now what I did , I installed peraks handlebar, changed stock seat, installed hydraulic clutch for ease in long rides.I don't have any complaints on performance. Its cruising speed is around 80 km/h. If you ride it in 60 km/h you are more than relaxed and upto 80 its stays composed. Beyond 100 bike feels light, not planted. Sitting on jawa for more than 1hour may be painful at a stretch. Lights are kind of ok.Overall I would like to give 7/10 .If you want a cruiser with performance go for it. Its not that dull like RE.

Only for looks. No performance.

Purchased the bike in the month of Aug- 2020. For first 3k kms, Riding experience was smooth. But everything changed after a long ride of 570 km. Started facing problems like oil leakage, vibration after crossing 80 km in highways, rusting and ground clearance also started with jawa. If you and pillion go for a ride during night time, headlamp will face upwards. There was a short circuit in the headlamp during a short ride. In 12 months, I have visited service center more than 15 times. Jawa has to hire trained professionals for their service center. Tensioner gasket has to be replaced for 8000 kms. Service cost is 4200 for 3rd service. Pros: looks only. Nothing other than that.Cons: vibration, battery issues, frequent break sound, maintenance, ground clearance. Don't go with jawa.

This was really amazing bike, i really like the performance of this bike great pickup, according to me this is best bike in this segment or price range, great comfort with dashing looks. Overall a bike with great horse power and dashing looks with great features . If I am talking about mileage so I am live in Delhi and Jawa 42 gives me around 30 km/l in city and highway around 35-38 km/l.

Powerful cruiser for short riders
2 years ago
Sakhil Malik
I love riding the bike as it's the only cruiser bike available in India for short riders with two exhausts, vibrant colours, great looks and yes all this with a powerful engine. Above all it comes at a very competitive and unbeatable price which makes it distinctive. It's quite stable and smooth at a high speed with all comfort to both rider and pillion rider.
