Purchased this bike after

Purchased this bike a month ago engine is smooth the bike has good torque i am happy with over all performance of engine and breaking.However low ground clearance still a issue have to be careful on speed breakers.Digital cluster like yezdi roadster can be a great addition.The bike is delivering me consistent 28-29 kmpl so far.You need to be careful during gear shifts i ended up going neutral on the road but i believe it will take some time to adjust to it.There is no heating issue in bike as many people have been reporting actually it's hot air flow from cooling fan which flows towards riders legs as you are riding the bike.Not a fan of normal mirrors as i had to move back and forth to get road view properly( i see a part of my elbows which block part of traffic) thinking about bar end mirrors to fix this.Road presence is great people ask me about the bike.

Tall people may find difficult

Good to ride around 80 kmph speed. Tall people(more the 5.10) may find difficult to ride with a pillion.

Exhaust sound

3.4

Around 24 years ago i owned old jawa and rode it for thousands of km.It will thrill me each and every time i touch the handle bar & pump it to start the engine.The exhaust thump & interval between the next thump cant say in words.Flick & kick is a wonderful experience.I used to get mileage around 30 kmpl to 35 kmpl.Now to coming new jawa.I went test ride new jawa with imaginations & drove more than 210 km i got mileage of 23kmpl.Engine is powerful till 110 km/hr then it straining to climb speed with vibrations & becomes too noisy.The exhaust sound is like hero splendor bike.There are lots welding visually seen around new jawa.They recreated visibly old jawa.Visually good bike.I didn't get moved or ringed & impressed while riding.I never need a bike for visual pleasure.

Linear power of Jawa 42

In terms of performance, The jawa 42 delivers such a linear power.The mid range is a way too powerful. With the low short gear ratios from 1-3, This bike offers a decent cruising.I got a mileage of 33km/l before 1sr service, When cruising at speeds of 60-65km/h much impressed by its mileage and performance.

Good mileage

I have travelled around 4500 km in around 8 months and I am loving it. It has given me good mileage. Acceleration is amazing. It's my first bike and I am in love with it.

On highway it's great experience

3.8

On highway it's great experience with speed and control but in city you would find 1st and 2nd gear hard.Overall i would like to rate 8/10.
