Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

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

Triumph Speed 400

Easy to ride bike for everyone
Looks premium, good build quality
Affordability

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

Triumph Speed 400

Brakes can be slightly better
No smartphone connectivity, even as an option
Suspension is slightly soft for aggressive cornering
