Stunning design language
The 350 Jawa 42 FJ bridges classic Jawa DNA with contemporary flair, embodying a neo-classic motorcycle. Its standout feature is the anodized, brushed aluminum fuel tank cladding – a segment first. This finish enhances the bike’s appeal and allows for personalization through various color options and Jawa branding choices.
Complementing the tank cladding are the aluminium headlamp holder and grab handles, along with aluminium footpegs. These elements contribute to a cohesive design that honours Jawa’s heritage while embracing modern craftsmanship.
The 42 FJ’s iconic curves and distinctive silhouette pay homage to its rich legacy. An off-set fuel cap adds a unique touch to the tank design. The wide, flat seat with premium stitching ensures rider comfort while maintaining 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 round off the rider-focused elements, blending traditional aesthetics with current technology.
