Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group has shared a picture of a modified Jawa 42 from his Twitter. He called it ‘Batmobike’ because of the blacked-out paint scheme that the motorcycle carries. Underneath the modification, the motorcycle is a Jawa 42 and is modified by Muhammed Raihan. He has done over 50 projects on Jawa motorcycles. Usually, the modified motorcycles one sees on Indian roads are Royal Enfields.

This Jawa 42 has been modified into a cafe racer. The motorcycle does not need a lot of modifications because it already has a retro design. So, the only things that have been changed are the seat, the cowl and the riding ergonomics.
