            • Retains the old-school charm with its looks
            • Smooth gearbox
            • Refined and tractable engine

            Jawa 42

            • Motor feels a lot more usable, with the torque spread evenly across the rev range. This helps in riding at moderate speeds at a gear higher, which wasn’t possible earlier
            • Improved overall quality, with good attention-to-detail elements like logo on the rim stickers
            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

            Royal Enfield Bullet 350

            • Pricing is too close to the Classic 350
            • Smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation is not available as standard
            • Its 195kg kerb weight means that it requires a little effort to move around in parking lots and tight spaces

            Jawa 42

            • The wide, low handlebars along with the high footpegs give off an unnatural riding posture
            • Stiff suspension results in the rider being thrown off while going over sharp bumps
