Jawa Forty Two User Reviews
- A true companion
This is a masterpiece and close to my heart. It may be 2nd owned on paper but its my first bike and it was transferred in my family and was used by me from the day 1. Very happy that 50K kms completed without and kind of trouble. Single handed used. Good for long rides and daily runs . The colour makes it look more attractive.

Bike is in really good condition, Every service has been done in official service centre, It is like a new bike and maintained fully.

- Good one of classic

- Smooth & Stylish
It is a very fantastic motorcycle that beautifully combines retro styling with modern performance. I have thoroughly enjoyed riding this bike. The Jawa look with a slightly aggressive stance makes it stand out on the road. The 293cc liquid colied engine strong low end torque making city rides effortless and highway cruising comfortable.
