        With that Budget you can very well opt a C500 or CBR250 (not a cruiser but a sports tourer).

            If at all there's a proper cruiser in this country, its only Avenger 220. RE is NOT A CRUISER. Its only a classic English motorcycle.

              Go for the Avenger 220
              The bike is good deal for riding in comfort manner My three elder brothers have the same color and same bike....its a good one if you are riding for daily requirements. Your back does not stress out even on long rides!!! Bullet 350 is not the list of crusers mate

              And the bike will cost half of your investment for two wheels!

                Y RE is not considered a cruiser? It has high cubic capacity & lots & lots of torque which is exactly what a cruiser should have. My vote goes to RE Thunderbird or Classic 500(waiting time is 10 months in bangalore) .

                  Definition of Cruiser - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruiser_(motorcycle)

                  Determined by laid back riding posture & forward foot pegs & not based on CC & Toruqe.

                    BUt i have seen in one of the automobile show & even here in xbhp that a cruiser should have lots of torque if it has to be a cruiser. How can avenger be a cruiser(of course by definition it is) it has a pulsar engine right? the seating might be make it a cruiser but the engine is of a sporty one rite.?

                    I had copyied the above text here in xbhp itself -

                    Street Bike : More Power , less Torque(relatively to the cruiser version)
                    Cruiser : Less Power (In comparision to street models ) but torquey
                    See what BAL has done with Avy 220 just lessened both power and torque in the same engine fit it on a different body call it a cruiser
                    Its like painting a tiger brown and putting vegetable before it so that people will think its a donkey BAL do make a proper cruiser ; One thing Ilike much with the Avy is its comfortable riding position Yet the pillion seat is too cramped ; Test ride and then take a call
                    There ain't no devil, ther'e just God when he's drunk.

                      Jayanth, Torque is one of the factor. MT01 has monsterous torque than any other motorcycle, yet it is not a cruiser.

                      Sporty engine I know sporty bikes, but not sporty engines nor have heard.

                      Like I told you before, laid back riding posture & forward controls makes a motorcycle classify as cruiser, not its engine. When you make such a relaxed riding posture, naturally the engine SHOULD be torqy. Can't imagine an inline 4 on a HD.
