            • Is one of the lightest in segment, so moving around in traffic of tight parking spaces is easy

            • Good top-end performance
            • The aggressive bodywork gives a unique look to the motorcycle

            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 RS200

            • It has quite a heavy 166kg kerb weight
            • Could’ve gotten better fit and finish levels
            • Has been in need of an upgrade for a while now
