Jawa and Jawa 42 have been launched in India. Type 42 is basically a modern version of the Jawa. Here are its prices, specifications, mileage, design details and images.
The Legend is back with a punch and 3 new motorcycles. Jawa, Jawa 42 and Perak are the three motorcycles, which are recently launched.
Jawa is a resurrection of the original Jawa with identical bodywork and styling cues. Type 42 is a modern version of the Jawa with some modern fits and finishes. Being a retro motorcycle, it comes with fewer features, but a variety of colour options. What’s a retro bike if it is loaded with the latest features?
Perak is a factory custom Bobber, which will debut later in the market. Perak is also more powerful than the other two bikes, as it comes with a 334cc engine. As of now, not many details about this bike are out. It is the highest priced amongst the three bikes.
Moving further, here are the prices, specifications, mileage, images and other important details of the Jawa 42 motorcycle.

Prices
| Price (ex-showroom) | Rs 1.55 Lakhs |
The prices of the motorcycle start off at Rs 1.55 Lakhs (ex-showroom India). Interestingly, the pricing has been coinciding with one of the founder’s birthday, which falls on 1st May 1955.
Design
Like said, a photo speaks a thousand words. In this case, it is the same. Jawa 42 is the perfect fusion of modern and retro Jawa.
It is inspired by the original Jawa, thus the same bodywork and styling. But some modern touches can be noticed, which classify it as a modern classic roadster.
For starters, the oddly-shaped single-pod instrument cluster, the contrasting matte-finish with hints of chrome and for a sporty look, rear view mirrors placed at the end of handlebars.
It does not look different from new Jawa, but the modern touches give it a refreshed look, which is well appreciated. Like, the Jawa gets a full covering headlamp cowl, while Type 42 just gets a naked styled round headlamp.

Competition
Jawa has its own set of loyal fans, who would never look beyond it. As Classic Legends calls it, the ‘Kommuniti’ is all crazy about the new motorcycle and already the bookings have started at large.
However, based on the specifications and pricing range it competes with Royal Enfield Classic 350, Bajaj Dominar 400 and Mahindra Mojo UT 300.
Classic 350 fits as the top rival as earlier. Both follow a similar type of bodywork and are age-old rivals too. Classic 350 starts from Rs 1.39 Lakhs going up to Rs 1.62 Lakhs.

On the other hand, Dominar 400 and Mojo UT 300 are modern day cruisers. However, a similar pricing range puts them in the league. Both are loaded with features, which are not even remotely found in Jawa.
