Stunning Design Language

The 350 Jawa 42 FJ seamlessly combines classic Jawa DNA with modern flair, embodying the essence of a neo-classic motorcycle.

This unique finish enhances the bike’s appeal and allows for personalization through various color options and Jawa branding choices.

Additional design elements include aluminum headlamp holders, grab handles, and footpegs, contributing to a cohesive look that honors Jawa’s heritage while embracing modern craftsmanship. The 42 FJ’s iconic curves and distinctive silhouette pay tribute to its rich legacy, while an offset fuel cap adds a unique touch to the tank design. The wide, flat seat with premium stitching ensures rider comfort without compromising on style.

Modern features include an upswept exhaust, delivering the signature Jawa sound, and an all-LED lighting package. A fully digital instrument cluster and USB charging port complete the rider-focused elements, blending traditional aesthetics with contemporary technology.
