          Pros and 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

            Yamaha R15S

            • NO other 150cc bike makes as much power in India
            • Gets segment-leading VVA and slipper clutch
            • Razor-sharp handling

            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

            Yamaha R15S

            • Demanding riding position
            • Below-par build quality
            • LED headlight is rather weak
