Classic Legends updated the Jawa Forty-Two with the engine from the 42 2.1 in July 2021. The brand has revised the pricing of both bikes as well. The latter sees a massive spike of Rs 7,649. To know more details about the availability and variant-wise pricing, read this story.
Jawa offers the BS6-compliant Forty-Two in three variants — single-channel ABS, dual-channel ABS, and the latest iteration, the 42 2.1. Post the recent price hike, the Starlight Blue and Haley’s Teal retail at Rs 1,64,487 (for the single-channel ABS variant) and Rs 1,73,429 (for dual-channel ABS). The Lumos Lime variant is priced at Rs 1,68,351 for single-channel ABS and Rs 1,77,293 for dual-channel ABS. The more premium-looking Comet Red, Galactic Green, and Nebula Blue cost Rs 1,69,415 and Rs 1,78,357 for single-channel and dual-channel ABS, respectively. As for the 2.1, dual-channel ABS is standard and priced at Rs 1,91,142, making it dearer by Rs 7,649. It is available in three colors: Orion Red, Sirius White, and AllStar Black. All prices are ex-showroom Delhi.
The Jawa Forty-Two is a retro-styled motorcycle, packing an analog speedometer and fuel gauge, along with a digital inset for odometer readings. There’s no tachometer or gear position indicator. Even the headlamp and indicators are bulbs. Jawa offers either a single-channel ABS with a rear drum or a front and rear disc brake-equipped dual-channel ABS as a separate variant. The 42 2.1 is slightly more feature-heavy, as it gets a revised instrument cluster with a small LCD display, blacked-out components, alloy wheels, and bar-end mirrors, most of which can be retrofitted to the standard Jawa Forty-two.
It’s powered by the same 293cc, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates 27.33PS and 27.02Nm — 0.84PS and 0.95Nm less than the BS4-compliant version. The engine continues with the same 6-speed transmission as before.
Like the BS4 bike, the Jawa Forty-Two BS6 continues with the same telescopic front fork, twin gas-charged rear shock absorbers, front 280mm disc, rear drum (153mm) or disc (240mm). It rolls on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels with a 90-section front and a 120-section rear tubed tyre. The same setup has also been carried forward to the Jawa 42 2.1.
In terms of rivals, the Jawa 42 BS6 competes against the Royal Enfield Classic 350 BS6 and the Benelli Imperiale 400. For the price of the Jawa 42, you could also get the Bajaj Dominar 250, Royal Enfield Meteor 350. and the new Royal Enfield Hunter 350
