Classic variant design looks good. Long riding is not comfortable as so much heat is produced from engine. Tank capacity is low. Speedometer is not comfortable and ground clearance is very low with unsatisfied riding. Suspension is so hard. Radiator sound is heavy. Not value for value unlike Royal Enfield Classic 350. Totally a Light weight machine.
Tips for Jawa 42
Engine heats very much.

Best bike i have ever seen
5 days ago
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
1 week ago
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

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.

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
11 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.

Highly mentenens bike

Abhay Bagde
Very bad experience highly mentions bike Jawa 42 2.1 I do not need to buy back and after 5 days the tan 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 15000 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 My bike has run for only 15291 kms and I have spent 25-30 thousand rupees on it so far and I am thinking of selling it and buying a Royal Enfield

Enjoyed the test drive. Nice Look, Good average, Nice color, Better pick up, On time delivery, Test Drive was arranged at showroom as per my convenience. Finance is also available as per customer requirements. The long drive was explored with smooth & hustle-free driving. The delivery staff at the showroom was cooperative.

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.

The bike has an amazing performance average is 37 k.m. in the city and 40 highways. Rusting problem in bike Suspension is tough.The bike handle is too widthGround clearance is low.Service cost is average but the parts price is more than Royal Enfield.I ride daily 20 to 30 km bike is comfortable for a single person.

Jawa 42 -The beast
11 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
