Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Jawa 42
- Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
- Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
- Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy
Bajaj Pulsar N150
- Feels very light, so filtering through traffic is effortless
- Has sporty looks and attracts attention on the road
- Smartphone connectivity with a fully digital instrument cluster

Jawa 42
- The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
- Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps
Bajaj Pulsar N150
- The switchgear quality could have been better
- Design is too similar to the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and doesn’t stand out
- The top-end performance isn’t very exciting

I own this bike since 2022
I own this bike since 2022 it was fun to ride it but also had some flaws with its transmission whenever i used to down shift to 2nd or first gear it stops the engine I went to service station several times but it used to stop just for some days. Other than this it is a good bike to ride in city and very comfortable for long rides. And parts are not easily available.

It's good until you are not beigner
The Jawa 42 blends classic charm with a sporty touch. Its 293cc engine offers smooth power, but mileage is around 30-34 kmpl. The low seat height makes it easy to handle, though the stiff suspension can be harsh. Build quality issues and limited service centers affect maintenance. A stylish but high-maintenance choice.
