JAWA 42 Bobber vs Yezdi Roadster 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.

As an everyday motorcycle, the Yezdi Roadster's engine has been tuned for precisely that kind of use; short dashes around town, and for the occasional long-ish jaunt. The stance and overall design of the Yezdi Roadster are somewhat of a hit and miss, and even in the dynamics front, the Jawa Forty-Two feels more agile and planted. But if it's a true-blue nostalgia-filled Yezdi you're looking for, the Yezdi Roadster still looks the closest to the old 250 cc two-stroke Yezdi bikes from the '70s.
