MY ROOMATE, MY BEST FRIEND and A TRUSTED GOOGLE PHOTOGRAPHER owns this bike and his experience is really not good as he travels a lot due to his works and the mileage which he gets is too bad for his pockets and this bike needs a lot of maintaince to run.
I will share a road trip from delhi to Rishikesh in which he along with his cruiser 220cc was there.I was riding on Yamaha fz and one of my friend was riding pulsar 220cc and in end of the trip we calculated the expense of petrol and result which we got was shocking.
DELHI TO RISHIKESH 250KM ONESIDE
BAJAJ AVENGER CRUISER- 3000/-RS ON PETROL EXPENSE
YAMAHA FZ 150CC- 1700/-RS ON PETROL EXPENSE
BAJAJ PULSAR 220CC -2100/-RS ON PETROL EXPENSE
( company claims that cruiser gives a average of 45kmpl but its not true .My experience for the mileage is really bad)
RELIABILITY is the next thing which anyone can suffer while owning this bike.You have to maintain a lot to run this bike which will also affect the pocket of rider.RESALE value of this bike is also not good
Talking about comfort is really messy.DRIVER seat of this bike is really comfortable as you can feel good and comfortable while riding but rear seat is very bad and not comfortable for long drive due to its narrow seats.suspensions and shockers are good so you will find minimum jerk.
BAJAJ bikes have good road grip and this bike also follows that on highway and city roads.Its also works good on sudden brakes but you have to aware while using front brakes as many fall due to this only due to its shape.FRONT PORTION DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH WEIGHT TO SUPPORT SUDDEN BRAKES.
Appeal and styling of this bike is the selling point of this bike as its looks beautiful and gives you a feeling of riding a costly cruiser bike.
THE ENGINE is also good with 220cc with power of 18.76 Bhp @ 8000 RPM which really works on roads and gives a tuf challange to its same 220cc bikes while racing on highway.
AIRSUSPENDER IN THE FRONT IS ALSO NOT WORTHY AS ALL WIND DIRECTLY HIT TO FACE AS ITS ONLY FOR SHOW AND THE BAJAJ DOESN’T RESPOND WELL FOR THIS BIKE ISSUE
IF YOU OWN THIS BIKE FOR ITS CRUISER LOOK ITS GOOD OTHERWISE OWNING THIS BIKE IS NOT WORTH FOR YOUR POCKET
