The Jawa 42 Dual Tone variant looks particularly appealing, with its subtle enhancements and new colour options. I am sure that it will be a popular choice among customers.
The updated Yezdi Roadster is also a welcome addition to the range, with its touring-friendly ergonomics and blacked-out finish. I am curious to see how it performs in the real world.

The Jawa 42 Dual Tone variant comes with subtle enhancements and is primarily differentiated from its predecessor by the new dual-tone colour options and certain design changes like the short-hang fenders and a redesigned fuel tank.
The Yezdi Roadster, on the other hand, is directed towards the touring audience with its forward-set footpegs and taller handlebar, providing a more relaxed riding stance for longer journeys. The blacked-out engine and exhaust finish seem to be a common aesthetic change in both motorcycles, giving them a more modern and aggressive look.
Both motorcycles continue to offer a six-speed gearbox and seem to be targeted towards enthusiasts who value a blend of classic design with modern features.
