                  A true companion
                  This is a masterpiece and close to my heart. It may be 2nd owned on paper but its my first bike and it was transferred in my family and was used by me from the day 1. Very happy that 50K kms completed without and kind of trouble. Single handed used. Good for long rides and daily runs . The colour makes it look more attractive.

                  Smooth & Stylish
                  It is a very fantastic motorcycle that beautifully combines retro styling with modern performance. I have thoroughly enjoyed riding this bike. The Jawa look with a slightly aggressive stance makes it stand out on the road. The 293cc liquid colied engine strong low end torque making city rides effortless and highway cruising comfortable.

                  Decent bike for beginners
                  Yes. I would recommend this bike. Even if you are a first time rider, the only thing you have to keep in mind is the weight. This bike can be heavy for some people but great for even short people like me.

                  I’ve been using the Bajaj
                  I’ve been using the Bajaj Avenger Street 220 (STD) for a while now, and I’d like to share my honest opinion based on my riding experience.The first thing that caught my attention is its stylish street cruiser look. The low-slung design, matte black finish, and wide handlebars really give it a powerful road presence. It feels like a big bike but comes at a price that’s still affordable. In terms of comfort, it’s honestly one of the most relaxing bikes I’ve ridden. The riding posture is laid-back, and the seat is broad, making long rides smooth and enjoyable. It doesn’t strain your back even on longer routes.The 220cc engine delivers a smooth and punchy performance. Whether I’m cruising in the city or hitting the highway, the power is enough for my needs. It pulls well even with a pillion and has a good pickup.

                  A reasonable and thoughtful
                  Good product but some refinement should be done with the engine. Although it is a good bike but service centre should be more careful with bike otherwise it will not delivers full potential . My friend bought this bike 1 year ago he is good at taking care of the bike that's why there is no issue thanks.

                  Good bike which gives better experience like bullet bikes. Bought this bike for past six to seven years before and still counting... Has been a member in the family since day and has not given me a complaint till day with frequent annual service. Gives a good comfortable driving experience and provides a gawdy feel.
