Bajaj Avenger Street 160 Mileage

You may face an issue. As it doesn’t have the long legs to make it a proper highway cruiser. Once you swing your leg over the saddle, slot into gear, and ride, you’ll be surprised at how refined this motor is. It’s definitely a considerable step up from the older bike’s engine as far as vibrations are concerned. There’s barely any buzz on the handlebars even when pushing the bike to its limits (read 100 kmph). But beyond 80kmph, there are noticeable vibes on the footpegs, which do tend to tingle your feet if you’re wearing thin-soled shoes. The engine can comfortably cruise at 80kmph and if need be, 90kmph too. It doesn’t really complain even when you keep the throttle wide open and that’s a commendable feat by Bajaj. Plus, the icing on the cake is the deep, grunty exhaust note which eggs you to hold on to the revs a little longer than you normally would. The shifts from the 5-speed gearbox feel positive too, and there were no instances of false neutrals. But the shift throw is a bit on the longer side, and it might need some readjustment in your left foot if you’re used to slicker shifters. The simple suspension system - telescopic forks and twin rear shock absorbers - work amazingly well on bad roads, as long as you don’t try and tackle very large bumps at speed. Like you’d expect from a cruiser, suspension travel isn’t the longest, so it can bottom out on really nasty potholes. Ergonomics are properly laid-back, thanks to the nicely scooped seat and forward-mounted footpegs. Oddly, the left footpeg is mounted slightly ahead of the right one. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
