                • Cons

                • Jawa 42

                  • The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
                  • Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway
                  • The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment

                  Keeway SR125

                  • Has a kerb weight of 120kg which is very light
                  • Comes with a 14.5 litre fuel tank
                  • Seat height is quite accessible at 780mm

                • Jawa 42

                  • Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
                  • Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

                  Keeway SR125

                  • Gets tubed spoke wheels
                  • Makes less power than its rivals
                  • More expensive than its competitors

Looks are fresher and very appealing.

                  The bike offers a great riding experience, it's comfortable to ride, and has good mileage. There's absolutely no wobbling on the highway, and its braking system is also very good.

                  My Two wheeler
                  Feels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.

                  Do buy this bike
                  City rides good mileage and looks handle bar has good position the engine is smooth at low and mid range rpms which is where you'll spend most of your time in city traffic gear shifts are light and predictable. It feels comfortable smooth and realiable only draw back is its tyres which are knobby and you might feel vibrations on high speed but its manageable suspension is on a stiffer side but but absorbs most of the potholes. You can buy this bike if your main purpose is city rides and you prioritise style its has a unique looking style which most of the bikes don't offer comfortable city commute relaxed highway rides if you want high speed bike you should choose something else as it wont go beyond 90 to 100.
