Jawa has been keeping its fans busy during the lockdown through a design contest called Jawa Kommuniti Kustoms. The modern classic motorcycle manufacturer invited custom designs in digital format or a sketch of the Jawa Forty Two and the final four entries have been announced. To say the least, each design has rather intriguing.
-
Jawa fans and enthusiasts seem to have a particular liking for adventure-style motorcycles as two of the final entries carry ADV-like designs. Of the other two, one is a neat-looking cafe racer and a scrambler.

Jawa has, in the past, revealed design sketches of the possible motorcycle styles that can be built around its 300cc engine. And the custom bike design contest also demonstrates the Jawa 42's capability for radical but simple customisation.
-
The adventure tourer versions of the Jawa 42 both have raised suspension, dual-purpose tyres, large windshield, custom exhaust, stepped seats, pillion backrest, panniers and high-mounted front fender. Considering that Jawa is a contender to Royal Enfield, there could be an adventure bike on the cards and would look something likes such render images we've seen.
-
The cafe racer Jawa 42 is quite popular with Jawa's Instagram followers. Looking equally brilliant as the ADV and the scrambler, the cafe has a slow-slung custom seat, flat handlebar, dark paint job, chunky tyres and a minimal front fender.
-
In the end, we've got to give a special mention to this nine-year-old's design concept which is quite interesting. So, the Jawa 42 powered by a 27 hp 293 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is one of the three motorcycles the brand launched altogether – the other two being the Jawa and Jawa Perak. The Jawa motorcycle range starts at Rs 1.53 lakh (ex-showroom).
