When i was considering buying a bike, my husband suggested i go in for a motorbike. I had already ridden a bullet and the avenger seemed a bit more manageable since my feet could touch the ground. So it was decided and i purchased the avenger 220 street, military green on october 2016. The next few months were the most fun with long rides to nandi hills early in the morning to break in the bike. After the first service, the bike didn't seem as smooth but did give me more speed. I am not sure if it was the look of the bike or it's maintenance or that i was a woman rider that people usually gave the bike a second look. The local kids often mistook it for a harley (rofl). although owning the bike was a pleasure, not all aspects were as enjoyable. I found the brakes quite sharp. I had three falls in all; each time thrown in the exact same manner to the ground, on the exact same side, giving me the exact same bruises... What do you know!! my second issue was with the neutral...Man, was it annoying or what? well i did figure out that this little lad needed only a tap to go into neutral though it was fun to watch my husband struggle with it (gave me an impish delight after all i heard him say about woman drivers and riders). another issue was with storage. Where do you put those bike papers? i didn't want one of them ugly boxes siting at the back seat... I was often made to sit at the back too! i wouldn't want a box there to make me more uncomfortable! the back seat isn't a blessing either, you have to figure out the right manner of sitting at the back and you may be able to remain comfortable for about 40 minutes before your butt goes numb. finally the big issue... Say you go on a long trip and come back to your bike in about 10 days or so, it won't start! yup! and guess what, there isn't a kick start either... You heard me right! so what do you do? push start... Get someone to help you push it down a long slope on neutral and then put it in gear to start the bike. And mind you, once you get it moving, do not.. I repeat, do not shut it off until you have ridden a couple of kilometers to charge the starter. maintenance wise, it has been a breeze, since after the first two services you don't have to visit the service center for a long time. The service too has been efficient and good. The bike is easy to maintain and will look great if you put in the effort to keep it shiny and clean. all in all, its's a great city bike. Keep it running most of the week and you'll be fine. Take care of it and keep it covered well and it will respond well to you too. Remember to tap it into neutral and finally careful with the brakes. i took the time to write this review as a tribute to my bajaj avenger street 220 as i will bid it adieu tomorrow. I had a great experience but i'd prefer a non geared vehicle to cater to my needs, taking the kids around and doing my shopping independently. I do know for a fact that all owners and future owners of the avenger street 220 will only share great experiences.

  • Comfortable ride

    43 weeks ago


    Kiran

    It's a very comfortable ride, the styling is like a Harley Davidson with a massive tank and long body for a comfortable ride, I love this bike - we've ridden it comfortably many times with 2 kids and 2 adults. It's low maintenance, nothing ever breaks, no kick-starts, so it's worth looking after if you use it occasionally.

  • Best budget cruiser

    1 year ago


    Abhinav Ankur

    1. Buying experience
    i bought my bike on 12-apr-18, when I was in noida. Before buying the bike, I had watched multiple youtube videos about cruiser bikes and my love for traveling on a motorcycle. After all my research was done, I boiled it down to avenger. Called the bajaj showroom for enquiring about the bike and they said the bike is available and there is no waiting time involved. So, I packed my bag, printed all the relevant documents and visited the showroom on 12-apr-18. The salesperson in the showroom was very helpful throughout the process and explained all the technical specifications of the bike in detail. He was very patient as this was my first bike and I had lots of questions to which he took his time and answered all of them.
    Within 3-4 hours all the paperwork was done and I even got a inr 5000 discount on the bike.
    At 5pm in the evening, the key was handed over to me and I was now the owner of a brand new bajaj avenger 220 street.
    2. Riding experience
    avenger being a cruiser bike gives a very relaxing stance during the rides, be it a city ride or a highway ride. The 220 cc engine gives enough power to maintain cruising speeds of 80-90 kmph on Indian highways and can take the top speed of 125 kmph (this is the top speed that I have taken the bike, however, it may differ for other riders). You will feel little vibrations in the side view mirrors when you reach a speed above 100kmph but that's fine given the amount of power the bike generates. The bike being heavy is very stable during the rides.
    3. Details
    looks - 8/10 - the front headlight part could have been made stylish
    performance - 9/10 - never had a bike break down in the middle of the highway, no major issues felt, but
    felt little vibrations in the mirror when going beyond 100 kmph.
    4. Servicing and maintenance
    bajaj offers very satisfactory and genuine bike servicing. This is what I have observed over time, be it in Noida or Bangalore. Before servicing, whatever issues that I tell are resolved after the bike is handed over to me after the servicing is done. I have never crossed more than inr 5k in servicing to date. This excludes the extra parts and accessories which I have purchased from the service center. Bajaj being the market leader in 2-wheelers, original spare parts are easily available throughout the market.
    5. Pros and cons
    pros - engine packs a good amount of power
    - built quality
    - tyres
    - exhaust sound
    - riding posture (best for short heighted people below 5'7")
    cons - brakes - my bike doesn't have abs
    - riding posture (I'm 5'9", so when riding the bike tail bone pains and for longer rides, it becomes a
    the problem, so I'd suggest using cushions
    - headlights.

  • Good bike for daily commute

    1 year ago


    B Saikia

    I owned this bike in Sept/2016. Totally dome 46000km. Doing great since bought it. Less maintenance cost. Only problem chain. Needs to adjust very frequently. But the chain problem I think arises due to quick acceleration. Too smooth to ride. I'm feeling the same pickup and comfort. Good bike. Breaking is too effective.

  • Royal comfort of cruise for a long ride on Indian roads

    1 year ago


    Yogendra Joshi

    I own avenger 220 for the past 7 years. It's a pleasure to ride it and gives a great feeling on long rides. Power, breaking all is great. It looks royal and feels royal. Also, the backrest for the pillion rider gives very good comfort for long rides.
    The only possible issues I found were:
    1. Turning radius is a bit high (but that comes with the cruise look)
    2. If you keep it unused for a long, the battery can get discharged and due to no kick start you have to get the battery charged.

  • Not so good for regular use

    2 years ago


    Sachin Vankhede

    The main drawback is this bike doesn't have a kick start function, so if the battery is down you are gone. The balance is not good if you do a sudden break bike will be uncontrolled due to its length. If you riding at 40-50kmph then it's good. I won't recommend this after having my 4 years of experience with it.

    Excellent bike with amazing riding position. Even I ride continuously for 350 km. The engine is very smooth. When I ride at 80 km speed, I enjoy the ride of this bike. The feel is like good. It's tag is perfect for a suitable bike. I think no other bike gives seating position and comfort like this. I rode 1200 km in one day, but no back pain. Awesome bike.

    1. From jammu motors I bought this bike in moon white matte finish street variant. I took the test ride of avenger 220 cruise but decided to buy 220 street coz of tubeless tyres.
    2. Good riding experience you remember you should choose that bike which you feel is comfortable not others user experience don't matter.
    3. Look wise its elegant but make sure you wash it properly and clean.
    4. Service cost is very much affordable. One breather pipe problem is there and indicators which are prone to get damaged. you should take care of that. Overall best bike ever.

  • Bajaj Avenger Street 220 Review.

    3 years ago


    Vaibhav

    It's an amazing bike for both city commute and highway rides. Very comfortable riding positions. Looks are amazing, especially for street models. I was initially confused it with harley. Pros: 1) value for money 2) very comfortable seats 3) riding position 4) low maintenance 5) mileage around 38-42 km/l on highway Cons:1) headlights are very bad for night highway ride 2) suspension is on the softer side. You will feel bumps. 3) vibrations for speeds in 3 digits (above 100).

  • Bajaj Avenger Street 220 Review.

    3 years ago


    Vaibhav

    It's an amazing bike for both city commute and highway rides. Very comfortable riding positions. Looks are amazing, especially for street models. I was initially confused it with harley. Pros: 1) value for money 2) very comfortable seats 3) riding position 4) low maintenance 5) mileage around 38-42 km/l on highway Cons:1) headlights are very bad for night highway ride 2) suspension is on the softer side. You will feel bumps. 3) vibrations for speeds in 3 digits (above 100).

  • Comfortable ride

    43 weeks ago


    Kiran

    It's a very comfortable ride, the styling is like a Harley Davidson with a massive tank and long body for a comfortable ride, I love this bike - we've ridden it comfortably many times with 2 kids and 2 adults. It's low maintenance, nothing ever breaks, no kick-starts, so it's worth looking after if you use it occasionally.

  • Best budget cruiser

    1 year ago


    Abhinav Ankur

    1. Buying experience
    i bought my bike on 12-apr-18, when I was in noida. Before buying the bike, I had watched multiple youtube videos about cruiser bikes and my love for traveling on a motorcycle. After all my research was done, I boiled it down to avenger. Called the bajaj showroom for enquiring about the bike and they said the bike is available and there is no waiting time involved. So, I packed my bag, printed all the relevant documents and visited the showroom on 12-apr-18. The salesperson in the showroom was very helpful throughout the process and explained all the technical specifications of the bike in detail. He was very patient as this was my first bike and I had lots of questions to which he took his time and answered all of them.
    Within 3-4 hours all the paperwork was done and I even got a inr 5000 discount on the bike.
    At 5pm in the evening, the key was handed over to me and I was now the owner of a brand new bajaj avenger 220 street.
    2. Riding experience
    avenger being a cruiser bike gives a very relaxing stance during the rides, be it a city ride or a highway ride. The 220 cc engine gives enough power to maintain cruising speeds of 80-90 kmph on Indian highways and can take the top speed of 125 kmph (this is the top speed that I have taken the bike, however, it may differ for other riders). You will feel little vibrations in the side view mirrors when you reach a speed above 100kmph but that's fine given the amount of power the bike generates. The bike being heavy is very stable during the rides.
    3. Details
    looks - 8/10 - the front headlight part could have been made stylish
    performance - 9/10 - never had a bike break down in the middle of the highway, no major issues felt, but
    felt little vibrations in the mirror when going beyond 100 kmph.
    4. Servicing and maintenance
    bajaj offers very satisfactory and genuine bike servicing. This is what I have observed over time, be it in Noida or Bangalore. Before servicing, whatever issues that I tell are resolved after the bike is handed over to me after the servicing is done. I have never crossed more than inr 5k in servicing to date. This excludes the extra parts and accessories which I have purchased from the service center. Bajaj being the market leader in 2-wheelers, original spare parts are easily available throughout the market.
    5. Pros and cons
    pros - engine packs a good amount of power
    - built quality
    - tyres
    - exhaust sound
    - riding posture (best for short heighted people below 5'7")
    cons - brakes - my bike doesn't have abs
    - riding posture (I'm 5'9", so when riding the bike tail bone pains and for longer rides, it becomes a
    the problem, so I'd suggest using cushions
    - headlights.

  • Good bike for daily commute

    1 year ago


    B Saikia

    I owned this bike in Sept/2016. Totally dome 46000km. Doing great since bought it. Less maintenance cost. Only problem chain. Needs to adjust very frequently. But the chain problem I think arises due to quick acceleration. Too smooth to ride. I'm feeling the same pickup and comfort. Good bike. Breaking is too effective.

  • Royal comfort of cruise for a long ride on Indian roads

    1 year ago


    Yogendra Joshi

    I own avenger 220 for the past 7 years. It's a pleasure to ride it and gives a great feeling on long rides. Power, breaking all is great. It looks royal and feels royal. Also, the backrest for the pillion rider gives very good comfort for long rides.
    The only possible issues I found were:
    1. Turning radius is a bit high (but that comes with the cruise look)
    2. If you keep it unused for a long, the battery can get discharged and due to no kick start you have to get the battery charged.

  • Not so good for regular use

    2 years ago


    Sachin Vankhede

    The main drawback is this bike doesn't have a kick start function, so if the battery is down you are gone. The balance is not good if you do a sudden break bike will be uncontrolled due to its length. If you riding at 40-50kmph then it's good. I won't recommend this after having my 4 years of experience with it.

    Excellent bike with amazing riding position. Even I ride continuously for 350 km. The engine is very smooth. When I ride at 80 km speed, I enjoy the ride of this bike. The feel is like good. It's tag is perfect for a suitable bike. I think no other bike gives seating position and comfort like this. I rode 1200 km in one day, but no back pain. Awesome bike.

    3 years ago


    Arjun

    1. From jammu motors I bought this bike in moon white matte finish street variant. I took the test ride of avenger 220 cruise but decided to buy 220 street coz of tubeless tyres.
    2. Good riding experience you remember you should choose that bike which you feel is comfortable not others user experience don't matter.
    3. Look wise its elegant but make sure you wash it properly and clean.
    4. Service cost is very much affordable. One breather pipe problem is there and indicators which are prone to get damaged. you should take care of that. Overall best bike ever.
