Q. I am confused which one to buy, apache 180 OR jawa 42..?

Jawa has managed to make its sporty roadster even more youthful. The eccentricities of the motorcycle, like its weird riding posture and limited cornering clearance, still exist. But what Jawa has managed to do is polish off the rough edges, improve the build quality of the bike and introduce extra convenience via the alloy rims. The engine is a lot more usable now, making this a hassle-free commuter. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. Its styling has remained more or less the same over the years. Apart from a cleaner engine in its BS6 iteration, the motorcycle also received a new Glide Through Technology (GTT) feature, which is essentially a low-speed assist, ideal for traffic-riddled roads. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.

Category is difference but java is more of a brand than a feature-rich bike. Apache 180 is proven and stable bike which you may like to compare with bajaj and honda bikes. Afterall its hard earn money so purchase useful bike than a brand.

Not enough is known about the Jawa since it has only been launched a month or two back. Recommend you either wait for performance and reliability reviews or go for RTR 180...your choice
