Bajaj Avenger Street 220 Price in Karnal

I Sold my Royal Enfiled Thunderbird 500 after riding it for 4 years and wanted to buy a cruiser. I found out that 500 cc was overpowering and I did not require such a heavy machine. in 2017, there were not many cruisers out there. I opted for Avenger Street 220. Purchased it second-hand as it was fairly new, only 1500 km ridden. The First time I sat on this bike, it was so light and had no vibrations at all (compared to RE). Now I am writing this review after 42000 Kilometers and 6 years.
Pros:
1. The bike is a cruiser and while you are riding it you feel like sitting on the sofa.
2. An average of 40 km is good.
3. Reliable machine. I service the bike myself and never took it to a mechanic in these 6 years for servicing. I only went to the mechanic once or two times because of the clutch plate, tire change, etc.
4. Looks are subjective but I feel it looks different and people do look back towards it.
Cons:
1. Longer wheelbase: The problem with a longer wheelbase is that it takes time to adjust to it. A larger turning radius is one of the drawbacks of it.
2. Brakes are not great: The front disc is below average and the rear is drum break, which I feel is not good.
3. Confidence in high speed: I am not confident of taking this bike over 80. On only highways, I would like a machine that could cruise at 80-90 easily. You can't do that with it.
4. Falls: I have fallen from this bike a lot of times, thanks to the longer wheelbase, brakes, and MRF tires. This bike has a big learning curve.
My final verdict is that this bike was a good few years back but at this moment we have many more options in the Cruiser segment. Also, the Bajaj has not updated the bike with the required features of the present.
If you ask me, I would avoid buying it now.
