                Pros & Cons

                • 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 T4

                  • Good looking motorcycle with excellent fit and finish levels
                  • Good sounding exhaust note
                  • Fun to ride in the city with easy and smooth power delivery
                  • Fewer gear shifts required in the city for overtakes and commuting
                  • Comfortable ride quality with good bump absorption
                • 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 T4

                  • Looks too similar to the Triumph Speed 400
                  • Misses out on premium features and components like inverted front fork
                  • Highway performance is compromised for better city rideability
                  • Weighs 4kg more than the Speed 400

                  Speedy Bike
                  A good bike under this price range. We will accept this bike for mileage and speed tork is also better. This bike is more better if this service is good . After sale service need to be better performance. Color and features also good and best for my side. My one of the favourite bike jawa 42 and other 42 segments.

                  I own this bike since 2022
                  I own this bike since 2022 it was fun to ride it but also had some flaws with its transmission whenever i used to down shift to 2nd or first gear it stops the engine I went to service station several times but it used to stop just for some days. Other than this it is a good bike to ride in city and very comfortable for long rides. And parts are not easily available.

                  Performance
                  Very good performance at this price range & comfort is quite good... overall looks are good seat a disadvantage is the seat height moreover about the pillion comfort is great if I'm the pillion no doubt I would choose this bike as my primary bike... and the good part is it isn't really heat as much as bullet 350

                  It's good until you are not beigner
                  The Jawa 42 blends classic charm with a sporty touch. Its 293cc engine offers smooth power, but mileage is around 30-34 kmpl. The low seat height makes it easy to handle, though the stiff suspension can be harsh. Build quality issues and limited service centers affect maintenance. A stylish but high-maintenance choice.

                  Great bikes for city/highway usage.
                  Excellent bike for city usage. Few stalling issues but I believe that would be sorted after 1st service. Solo rider needs to set his rear suspension, pillion rider will enjoy the setting. Torque pull is amazing, don't worry on frequent changes. Overall a great bike to own. Looks good and sounds better.

                  about speed t⁴
                  The bike is worthy of the money especially the engine is awsome,the bike is in white colour the front wheel size is good on the back will is also good the tyres in the vehicle is very grippy and it helps a driver to take good corners and the stability of the vehicle is improved from speed 400 and scrambler 400

                  All Bike is very Good
                  All Bike is very Good . Good Mileage, Good Looks , Road Presence is Awesome. Definitely it is good choice for those who wanted A Bike with around 400cc under this price range. But all problem is with its balancing and handling at high speed and torque. But overall other factors are Pros , so you can neglect the Cons.Best Road Presence and Attention seeking.

                  This is the best bike
