I bought my 42 from shakti automobiles - pune. Great service from dealer. I found person at dealership is having more knowledgeable. Even he stuck into one point so he took help from senior. Riding is so smooth, no vibration, good handling during curves, looks great & no trouble till date (after completing 9000km )

Perfect blend of modern & retro
4 years ago
Dhruvdutt Jadhav
Had to wait for 6 months to get delivery. Riding experience and performance are great, it's a perfect blend of a modern and retro look. The sales team experience differs from area to area, they are minor issues here and there due and since the company is new, strict policies are not present because of which dealers have the leverage to make certain decisions. Maintenance is must and taking good care of it will go a long way.Not much to debate because the other option (royal enfield) is not that great, it has a lot of vibration and results in fatigue especially for slim people.

Best bike in 300 cc segment
1 year ago
Evance Gamit
I have been riding Jawa 42 since 2021. Got the spokes wheels replaced with mac wheels. Feels great to ride the bike in the mid-range. This bike can easily do 300-400 km in a day thanks to the liquid-cooled engine. Looking forward to doing more longer rides. It’s surely a faster bike than the 350 classics. I know Enfield's are not meant for speeding but if you like vintage bikes and want to go faster Jawa 42 is the one. Also a pretty good bike for short riders.

This bike looks amazing and it is a retro one so it will be eye catching on the roads. Everyone knows about the old Jawa it was so reliable. Hope the new one will be also reliable as the old one. The pricing of the bike is good as my view. And those who wants to own an big bike but don't like the Royal Enfield they are definitely going to own this. It is going to give a serious competition to Royal classic 350 and thunderbird 350x. Looking at the seats of java I must say it going to give you a smooth ride feeling. Buy this bike only if the service is available in your city. There is a lot of good thing to talk about this bike but the bad thing is it doesn't provide a rear disc although it is a single channel abs bike but still rear disk is important one. Hope it will upgrade the brakes.

Always carry a Chain spray and puncture kit with you. And always do a servicing on the showroom before going on a long ride. If you are riding more than 1000kms then also carry brake pads with you.

Bold and beautiful road master jawa.

Dr Parvez Hashmi
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..

Best bike in 300 cc segment
1 year ago
Evance Gamit
I have been riding Jawa 42 since 2021. Got the spokes wheels replaced with mac wheels. Feels great to ride the bike in the mid-range. This bike can easily do 300-400 km in a day thanks to the liquid-cooled engine. Looking forward to doing more longer rides. It’s surely a faster bike than the 350 classics. I know Enfield's are not meant for speeding but if you like vintage bikes and want to go faster Jawa 42 is the one. Also a pretty good bike for short riders.

This bike looks amazing and it is a retro one so it will be eye catching on the roads. Everyone knows about the old Jawa it was so reliable. Hope the new one will be also reliable as the old one. The pricing of the bike is good as my view. And those who wants to own an big bike but don't like the Royal Enfield they are definitely going to own this. It is going to give a serious competition to Royal classic 350 and thunderbird 350x. Looking at the seats of java I must say it going to give you a smooth ride feeling. Buy this bike only if the service is available in your city. There is a lot of good thing to talk about this bike but the bad thing is it doesn't provide a rear disc although it is a single channel abs bike but still rear disk is important one. Hope it will upgrade the brakes.

Tips for other riders
Always carry a Chain spray and puncture kit with you. And always do a servicing on the showroom before going on a long ride. If you are riding more than 1000kms then also carry brake pads with you.

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..

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.

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...
