We have listed the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 and the Jawa 42 Bobber with all of their specifications for you to decide which one is the better of the two for your daily rides.
The Royal Enfield Scram 440 came out of nowhere, and Royal Enfield have done some serious engineering on this bike while upgrading it from the Scram 411, as it now sports a six-speed gearbox. Even Suzuki couldn’t do that when they were upgrading their legendary DRZ400, but Suzuki does make a bike in India, which posts very similar power and torque figures while costing nearly the same—the Suzuki V-Strom SX, also called the V-Strom 250 in some markets. Interestingly, there is yet another motorcycle in that sub-2.2 lakh price range—the Yezdi Adventure, which recently received a host of updates. So we thought that all three bikes cater to the touring clientele while possessing different degrees of off-road cred and costing nearly the same, so why not compare them to see what’s what?

However, the Hero Xoom 160, apart from the Yamaha Aerox 155, has one more, well-established rival—the Aprilia SR 160, Granted, it makes less power, but then, it also is significantly lighter. Let’s take a quick look at the spec sheets.
The Simple One electric scooter has been updated and not only does it get a powerful motor but also ample range. Considering that the Simple One will take on the Ather 450X 3.7 kWh and the TVS iQube ST 5.1 kWh, we decided to do a comparison among the three scooters to find out what sets the Simple One apart.
