Whenever you hear the word bobber, chances are bikes like the Triumph Bonneville Bobber or Harley-Davidson Street Bob come to mind. However, there are quite a number of these cruiser-style machines on offer from smaller manufacturers, particularly in the Asian market. One such model just recently broke cover, and it’s from Indian manufacturer Jawa, who recently made a comeback in the Indian market under Classic Legends.
Jawa has always been known for its retro-inspired machines that pack fairly modern technology packaged in a lightweight machine, usually with displacements in the 300cc range. Well, the Jawa 42 Bobber is no different, and at a glance, looks very similar to how Triumph has designed its Bonneville Bobber. That being said, the performance—and not to mention the price—of the Jawa is far behind that of the British twin. With that, let’s take a closer look at what Jawa has to offer with the new Bobber.
