Pros Cons of JAWA 42

Pros

  • Refined performance
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Sorted ride and handling

Cons

  • Low ground clearance
  • Low cornering clearance
  • Welding quality not up to the mark

Verdict

The Jawa Forty Two offers the entry-level model into the new Jawa range of bikes. It still has the same qualities as the standard Jawa - same performance, same ride quality and same likeable road manners. The Jawa Forty Two gets a beautiful modern classic design, with decent set of features that may not be comparable to rivals but gets the job done. Of course, after sales service could be an issue as the Jawa network isn't as widespread as some of the rival companies.
