Comfort

The Jawa Forty-Two is a good-looking neo-retro bike. It has a comfortable riding stance, and its engine performance is also equally good. Loaded with the latest features, the Forty-Two misses out on low-end torque as well as good build quality.

Pros & Cons of 42

Retro design is an eye candy to look

Comfortable riding position

Engine offers strong punch for fast performance

Latest features make it value for money

Engine snatches at low-end

Heating of the engine in city traffic

Quality is inconsistent

Should I buy the 42?

The Jawa Forty-Two is a roadster bike that is based on the old-school design language of Jawa. It looks cool and it is comfortable to ride as well. Loaded with the latest features like LED lights & Bluetooth connectivity, it is a modern bike. Also, its engine offers good punch in the mid-range, thus, making it a good tourer. However, the low-end performance of this engine is weak and it also heats up quickly in the city. We recommend it as an option for the Royal Enfield Bullet 350.

Costly Maintenance, Average Bike

This bike is average. It’s suitable for legendary riders and long trips, but it has fewer service centres and gives less mileage than the company claims. It also requires frequent maintenance, which is quite costly for a middle-class person.
