Beginning with the most obvious addition, Classic Legends is offering a choice of three new colour options with the Jawa 42 2.1. You can have the motorcycle in All Star Black, Sirius White or Orion Red. And apart from these, the Jawa 42 2.1 also gets new graphics with a racing stripe running along the tank as well as the the ‘42’ and ‘Classic Legends’ branding in quite a few places.

Complementing the new colours is the dark theme of the motorcycle. All the chrome components that feature on the standard model including, engine, suspension, exhaust and wheels have all been blacked-out to amplify the motorcycle’s custom look.

Not only are the wheels blacked-out, the 42 2.1 sports alloy wheels unlike the standard model’s chrome units. However, they are still 18-inches for the front and 17-inches for the rear. Classic Legends has also thrown in bar-end mirrors on the Jawa 42 2.1 to complete the dark custom look. Furthermore, the company is also offering headlamp grille and small flyscreen as optional accessories.
