          • 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

            TVS Star City Plus

            • Impressive fuel efficiency - Fill it twice a month, at best
            • Ride quality - Competent at city speeds.
            • Looks pretty snazzy for a commuter.

            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

            TVS Star City Plus

            • Engine lacks refinement
            • Stock handlebar feels a little low set for taller riders
