                  • Cruiser fans will love the laidback looks
                  • Very comfortable ergonomics, best suited for long rides on smooth roads

                  • The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
                  • Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway
                  • The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment
                • Bajaj Avenger 220 Street

                  • The design is quite old now and needs a refresh

                  Jawa 42

                  • Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
                  • Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

                  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.

                  My Two wheeler
                  Feels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.
