About the 220 avenger cruise
I am using this bike from 9 years this is the best bike and value for the money looks are amazing Mileage is very low, only 35 km/L, otherwise performances super. Best major problems in this bike are drum break, speedometer, fork coil seal. And one more thing, limited shops to buy this bike parts the bike is good in speed and looks and long lasting performance and hard and tough steel

Overall a good bike on this price
Handling is very good,it's comfortable riding position, decent power delivery,and good handling for a sporty-touring style bike actually it has a aggressive and primium look. The 210 cc engine provides enough power for most riding situations with a smooth torque curve. Some of concerns- slightly vibration is a noticeable at mid range, rearview mirror view is not good,also paint quality is not good. Suspension is a bit soft on rough road, especially on higher speed. Overall Go for it good value for money product.

Best sports tourer
It's much better that r15 and rc 200 on touring segment better riding position that both and fuel economy is average around 35 to 40 depending upon riding style. maintenance cost is affordable first service around 2500. Fibre quality is 4 out of 5 and looks are stunning. Can consider as a tourer bike that as a sports bike. Yeah it's powerful but the good crusing speed is 80 to 90
