Jawa 42 is basically the new Jawa with a modern touch. It gets a similar styling with minor differences. The colour is different, the single-pod instrument cluster, the handlebar style and mirror placement are different and also the headlamp is placed in a way that the modern bikes have.
Jawa Perak draws inspiration from the original Jawa Perak 250, which was not available globally. It looks like a proper Bobber with the single seat, long wheelbase, the traditional rear fender but without chrome highlights.
