          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons
          • Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

            Jawa Perak

            • The engine feels more easygoing than the shorter-geared classic Jawa.
            • Can cruise at 100kmph all day long with little to no vibes.
            • Suspension setup is on the firmer side but it does a decent enough job at filtering bumps.
          • Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps

            Jawa Perak

            • Build quality has improved compared to the BS4 Jawa, but it still feels a bit rough around the edges.
            • Riding posture feels a bit cramped for a 5’10” frame like mine.
            • The vanilla exhaust note and lack of modern features is a bit of a letdown.

            About jawa42
            I'm loving the classic modern design of the Jawa 42! 🤩 The twin exhaust adds a touch of retro charm. Plus, the high pickup and top speed make it a blast to ride. It's perfect for long rides with its impressive mileage and reliable brakes. Anyone else a fan of this beauty? #Jawa42 #Motorcycle #ClassicModern

            Jawa 42 black dual abs and alloy
            Bike is in exceptional good condition as less driven by me. I had to move to banglore this didn’t get much time to drive it. I have full service record till date of timely maintenance. If you are looking for a bike which is very less driven than this is the chance to grab it as early as possible. Price is negotiable but not too much.

            You can go for it
            Good looking and heavy performance , above average comfort, design can be modified, more dashing with double silencer and many more. Two people can comfortably sit. It have a good price but not so much features and exhaust note is also poor in comparison to hunter 350 still having double silencer . So it totally depends upon u

            Jawa perak is very appealing
            Firstly, i must say that Jawa perak is very appealing. Long distance commuting is possible with this one but not with any luggage. It is not a tourer bike because you cannot attach any luggage carriers and if you do, it will look very bad. Bobber styled bikes have great aesthetics. No doubt everybody will be looking at this bike. Up to you if you love traveling and dont mind carrying a bag on your back. Carrying a bag on the back what i have found to be extremely annoying. Not too loud the exhaust but yes it is pleasing to the ear in a crowd. People who prefer to go for the classic retro style can opt for this one.
