When I took her out of the showroom at first time, at very first signal I stopped. People around started me asking about the bike. I was like "paisa wasool:D ". This bike is not about racing.its all about cruising, style, style, and style.
She will make a class apart from all riders out there on road. Bike is silent, cool and as well powerful that everybody has to notice you on road like an elephant on road. Average is too good with the 220CC. Its gave me 42kmpl before first service and now 45kmpl+ [Never run above 65kmhr] . Power, torque is better than Thunderbird 350, as I usually beat my friends 350’s easily.
The engine never gives up with that radiator attached, no heating at all. Be sure you purchase a windshield and a leather side-bag along with bike, or bike don’t have that much good looks without them.
I am so happy that I didn’t go for bullet.

They have increased the reliability of model in 2015, braking issue is solved, oil leakage problem has overcome. For handling issues, avenger is not for rookie drivers. Regarding average, you have to follow the company regulations for first 1000km, for better engine life plus every bike needs good maintenance. If you maintain her good, no problems occurs for sure.
As my old pulsar 180 is 13yrs old, she still roars like she did on her her first day in showroom.
Regarding vibrations, avenger’s engine is original pulsar220’s engine which is attuned for torque, and that’s a basic cruiser’s need. And every engine producing higher torque has amazing vibrations [example: Bullet]. Avenger is still lot more silent like pulsar 220!
PS- If you guys want more from avenger, pay more money n go buy a harley davidson, she will satisfy you.
Pros: Great Looks, Good mileage with 220cc powerful engine. Best sitting arrangement.
Cons: KICK start SHOULD BE ADDED TO BIKE. We can’t rely on Indian weather.
