  • Should I replace Avenger???

    Hi All,

    It was January 2006, when I met with my Avenger 180 DTSI and we are still together since then. Travelled great distance of over 55,000 kms and she never let me down not even in puncture.

    But she is showing age now specially after changing CDI in March, starting trouble started, tyre are also need a change ( yup still running with the stock tyres ). And the pick up is very low. So now I am back to square one which says do I need a new bike or repair avenger ( but getting original parts and good mechanic is pain ) . Every time I think of changing my avenger, my thinking stops...

    Last year after giving lots of thought on changing, I bought Duke 390 but again couldn't replace my first love.

    I had test ride of new avenger and few other 150-180cc motorcycles but still can not decide what to choose new bike or repair. Please help me.

    For the usage part, my travelling includes around 50 -70 Kms over weekend only ( thanks to office bus ) which is mostly city riding with my wife or mother. So the new motorcycle needs to comfortable

    Thanks in advance.

    Query Approved

    If you liked your Avenger so much, why not just get the newer one?
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

        If you still have the Duke. Spend some money to overhaul the Avenger and save some dough. So you can use the Duke for long trips and Avenger can be used to visit nearby places and doing the bread and milk runs.
        Else get the new Avenger, the new design looks really good and it suits all your requirements.
        I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

          Thanks all for reply. And apologies for late reply from my side. I was out of Pune for some days.

          I tried the new avenger but its bit small compared to mine and didn't enjoyed it too much so left the idea behind.

          Also I tried to repair my current one but getting parts is big issue.

          Last week I had a test ride of Unicorn 160 and liked it but its too much costly 85000 +. Also had test ride of Aprilia SR150 man this scooter is simply amazing but I am not sure about its build quality.

          This weekend I will be doing some more test rides. And will keep you updated.
