Hi Nandu, I have been riding the P200 since March 2007 and have had absolutely no major issues. With a company like Bajaj being so supportive, I have no regrets buying this bike. Although, there are times I feel that I should have waited for the bigger, fuel injected 220 :-)

HELLo Boy, That was a rip-roaring writeup! I really did try to laugh but I couldn't. Perhaps, you should try a stand-up act for your fans -- those that have written rave comments on this page :-) Looks like you haven't really ridden this bike. Or, you must be one of those kids that ride around read more...

Thanks Atin. I understand your point of view but IMHO, a sensible driver wouldn't need such hi-fi safety set-ups in a car. Besides, ABS-like braking can be achieved by the driver with a little practice. There are plenty of articles available on the net that explain this 'technique'. If it is an read more...
I went on a 15-day tour of Himachal Pradesh on my Avenger. This included off-road riding for quite some distance. Here's a few photos from the ride: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kartz

I have to say, this is one of the best movie reviews I've read. I have never cared to watch a hindi/regional film for more than a decade, leave alone reading their reviews! But this one... well, I just cannot afford to miss this movie. I am going to book the tickets right away. Way to go! L read more...
Hi Himanshu, Thanks for stopping by my review, bro. Sorry for the late reply. I was tied up at work, keeping my mouthshut for a while :) You should thank yourself for having arrived at these choices. Yes, Avenger is a worthy buy if you are into touring. After having done 3500 kms in 2 month read more...
There was nobody to watch my crazy gestures and that very moment was my closest communion with the one above. I forgave my employer, I forgave my clients, I forgave my colleagues. I forgave them all. I felt like...well, I felt like myself, again :)
Well, here's a brief account of my ride to Nandi Hills on the Avenger. For a change, I didn't carry my cameras. I had to work late on Wednesday - staring at the goddamn high-contrast monitors for 20 hours striaght, without food! The work was eye-gouging and left me temporarily protanopic. I rod read more...
Hi buddy, thanks for the encouragement. I read your review as well and its well written. I am fairly new to MS and need to explore this site's features...maybe another week or two to get used to this site.

Hi, thats a very good review. I bought an Avenger (silver, as opposed to the ubiquitous black and red even though they were my favourite) couple of weeks back and am finding it extremely comfortable to ride around town as well as cruise on the highways. The seat, as it turns out, is not so comfortab read more...
Sirji, That must have been a helluva experience. Kudos! While I enjoyed reading your travelogue, I couldn't agree with the last sentence - 'Never mix liqour with rides in groups if it is your first time' IMHO, We should NEVER ride under the influence of alcohol - be it a bottle of beer, wine read more...
Glad you liked my review. Maybe you should watch this movie again after reading my review, which is barely just the tip of the quantum iceberg.
Just got myself a brand new Silver/Grey Avenger, Christened 'Cloud 9'. Any suggestions welcome.
Hi Mayank, I am not that good with the tech stuff either...its all from an end-user perspective...no, I don't own one but did a couple of thorough test drives and the specs are copied from the Marina brochure.
HI Nandu, Go Kartz...you mean? Silly moniker isn't it? Its just stuck with me for life since college and even my corp email id is Kartz :) I drive a 4WD Safari and a Matiz. But I feel closer to my Bike - Bullet Machismo. Yes, LPG definitely makes sense!
Hi Venu, I was being skeptical until I rode one. When 100cc 2 strokes can do long rides, why not a 4 stroke 180cc bike? Perhaps, the frequency of stops in between might increase but then it depends on how you look at riding. To me, long rides are like tete-a-tete with Nature...be it desert or mou read more...
Hello Sirji, It was equally surprising and shocking to see my name included in the list. I don't deserve such appreciation for what I have done (and longing to do) are not achievements but a regular soul-searching exercise. However, I must admit that It was very encouraging and I look forward read more...
