Jawa 42 Pros and Cons
Things We Like
- 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
Things We Don't Like
- 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
