          • 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

            Bajaj Pulsar N250

            • Comfortable ride quality
            • Refined engine with a lot of torque, making city rides effortless
            • Low seat height makes it accessible for shorter riders
            • ABS modes and traction control make the bike quite feature rich

            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

            Bajaj Pulsar N250

            • Build quality could have been better
            • It misses out on a sixth gear, which would have made highway riding more effortless with the bike
            • It has just one button to navigate through the instrument console and the features, which is not very user-friendly
