Bajaj Avenger Street 220

This bike is very amazing, its speed cannot be compared with the speed of any other bike. While riding this bike, you get a better feeling than a bullet bike.

I Sold my Royal Enfiled Thunderbird 500 after riding it for 4 years and wanted to buy a cruiser. I found out that 500 cc was overpowering and I did not require such a heavy machine. in 2017, there were not many cruisers out there. I opted for Avenger Street 220. Purchased it second-hand as it was fairly new, only 1500 km ridden. The First time I sat on this bike, it was so light and had no vibrations at all (compared to RE). Now I am writing this review after 42000 Kilometers and 6 years.
Pros:
1. The bike is a cruiser and while you are riding it you feel like sitting on the sofa.
2. An average of 40 km is good.
3. Reliable machine. I service the bike myself and never took it to a mechanic in these 6 years for servicing. I only went to the mechanic once or two times because of the clutch plate, tire change, etc.
4. Looks are subjective but I feel it looks different and people do look back towards it.
Cons:
1. Longer wheelbase: The problem with a longer wheelbase is that it takes time to adjust to it. A larger turning radius is one of the drawbacks of it.
2. Brakes are not great: The front disc is below average and the rear is drum break, which I feel is not good.
3. Confidence in high speed: I am not confident of taking this bike over 80. On only highways, I would like a machine that could cruise at 80-90 easily. You can't do that with it.
4. Falls: I have fallen from this bike a lot of times, thanks to the longer wheelbase, brakes, and MRF tires. This bike has a big learning curve.
My final verdict is that this bike was a good few years back but at this moment we have many more options in the Cruiser segment. Also, the Bajaj has not updated the bike with the required features of the present.
If you ask me, I would avoid buying it now.

About the Reviewer

I bought this bike for smooth driving exp and long rides but all my dreams were shattered for the following reasons:
1. Mileage is barely 24kmpl as against claim by company for 40kmpl
2. The bike won't start unless a choke is used if you don't start it daily
3. The petrol circulation is not effective immediately upon start so unless the bike is given start for 2 mins it won't move smoothly.
4. The bike overheats in traffic or long drives and you can smell the burning parts
5. Resale value is 30% of the purchased value even if it's driven less than 10000 km and is 4 years old.
6. Difficult to navigate in traffic jams
7. Used cheap quality headlamps, buttons, etc.
8. Uncomfortable riding position for long drives
9. Rear brake jams in rainy season
10. Doesnt start in winter and rainy
