Default Avenger ownership experience

Hi,

I have been using a silver coloured avenger with 180 cc engine for the last three years. Its a comfortable bike and returns an average of 38-40 Kmpl in day to day traffic. Unlike the comments i got when i purchased the bike, it is very easy to drive in crowded traffic except for taking U-turn!!

The back brake is not good enough for a bike of this bulk and low end torque is found wanting. But the gear shift has been a dream so far and on open roads its a very comfy, value for money cruiser. The rear shocks are not good enough esp when you have a pillion rider (who will no wonder curse you). The maintenance cost is also surprisingly low and the Bajaj probiking showroom in Kochi / Cochin where i am based out at the moment have been very customer friendly. Overall a good ownership experience. I am waiting for the Pulsar 200 FI to be launched so that i can graduate back to a sports bike.
