        The rear suspension is a bit hard, but otherwise the bike is good. I can't confirm the mileage accurately, as my Jawa is a 2019 model and not E20-compliant. I believe that’s the main reason. Other than that, it's a good bike overall.

        I purchased the Jawa 42 in February and have been using it daily ever since. The bike delivers a mileage of around 25 to 33 km/l, which is decent for a cruiser. However, the maintenance cost is slightly higher compared to other bikes. It also requires careful riding due to its relatively low ground clearance. Despite these points, I find it to be an excellent cruiser and would definitely recommend it to new buyers. Personally, I prefer it over the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and Classic 350, mainly because of its twin exhaust system, which provides better weight balance and more instant torque. In my opinion, the Jawa 42 is one of the best in its segment.

        bike is looking so good and the riding experience is great too. Mileage 28-30, Suspension is not so good , seat is little bit hard, but overall, under 2.5L, it’s a good choice over ktm r15 mt 15
