JAWA 42 Bobber vs Kawasaki Versys 1000 Comparison

The Jawa 42 Bobber is an attractive, factory custom motorcycle that excels in style and straight-line performance. With its affordability and solid road presence, it is a great option for those looking to make a statement. However, the stiff rear suspension and lack of engine refinement may deter those seeking more comfort. If you prioritize looks and individuality over practicality, the Jawa 42 Bobber is a compelling choice in its segment.

With no cosmetic changes, the 2022 Kawasaki Versys 1000 continues to sport the same dual-LED headlamps, tall visor, massive fairing and long split seats to maximise comfort. Power comes from the same BS6 compliant 1043 cc in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 118 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 102 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets an assist and slipper clutch. It is a decent sport touring road-oriented motorcycles.
