Q. I want to ask which is the best bike for daily 60km ride daily? Confused between a Thunderbird and Avenger 220. The issue is I found a lot of vibrations in Tthunderbird any other suggestion is welcome.
  • I own a Avenger 220 Cruise. Must tell you the ride is really comfortable and no vibrations or difficulty in traffic. Can easily maneuver in traffic. Two things I don\'t like is the long wheelbase makes turn radius more, which becomes difficult while taking you turns or changing to the opposite lane. Second is pick up is average for a 220 cc engine. Rest: Low Maintainence Cost, Spare parts availability, Bajaj Service Center Availability , Pretty Good Mileage of around 25-30 Kmpl and The Best Is You can go on Long Drive in comfort, No Back Pain, Less Vibration, Less Fuel Stops and the best Cruising at 80kmpl comfortable and enjoy the Ride. Now my friend also has a Thunderbird. Same as known problems, Vibrations, Mileage Problem, High Service Charge, comparatively less service center availability and the biggest concern is the spare parts cost. Average Pick Up. Which means you\'ll struggle overtaking. Thunderbird although gives you a very much comfortable ride except for the vibrations. For daily commute, I wouldn\'t Suggest a Thunderbird. For a daily commute of 60km, you can go for Avenger 220 Street or Cruise. Other options would be NS 200 or Yamaha FZ or New Gixxer is also good I guess.

Q. Which bike is the best for long rides?
  • As per my opinion , RE bikes are good in order of their quality and riding comfort. I recent drove my RE TB 350 for 300 KM long drive to Trichy and back to Bangalore . After riding around 150 KMs , my left shoulder started hurting me and due to this , I couldn’t turn my head to right , if turn so , my shoulder hurts more than normal .So I have decided from then . Not to go long ride which is more than 150KMs. It remain hurts for few days after the ride finished . It’s my opinion . It may be due to my height . I am 6 ft tall .
  • All cruiser type bikes are good for long rides. its rifing position is comfortable, is one of the main reason. if you're comfortable with all kind of riding position, you can choose a bike according to your taste & need , ofcourse the budget ..
  • Check for tubeless tyre Vehicle first,R.E bikes exhibit a heat a lot, since they don't have any oil cooling techniques.actually if you are a rider means go for. Himalayan or else you can consider Bajaj Dominar

Q. I like Thunderbird 350 and have also taken a test of Jawa 42. A bit confused after taking the test drive of Jawa42. It is also a smooth and powerful bike. Technically advanced also. which one to buy considering technical features, durability, mileage and maintenance? Please advise. Jawa's handling is also great. Runs smooth and looks better. But please give an expert opinion on what to buy.
  • I've got a TBTS350 and have taken rides of Jawa 42 as well. performance wise, both are almost same just Jawa is a bit more refined and smoother. suspensions are great on Jawa. when you buy such bikes, most important part is the Maintainance, with Thunderbird an experience of 7+ years after 5 years it started giving me pain in Ass as had to spend a lot every time it goes for service. but that's due to my handling as well, I hardly use it. so whenever I plan to use it it give me a big hole in my pocket. On the other hand I am not sure about Jawa. and to be honest being 5'10" TB is more comfortable specially for long rides. it's a complex comparison to do, both engines are powerful unless you are very critical about every nm it generates. Both are of different segments one is kind of a touring bike and the other one is styling. If you want me to select one, I would select TB due to its very comfortable ride position. The new models xtreme are very juicy as well.
  • Thats what happend in my casse, I am 6.3 tall and heavy, ordered jawa and waited for a 4 months and later realised regarding long rides it will be a hell for my height and the seat length of both Jawa 42 & classic was a bit small so if you are near or above 5.8 its better go to RE classic or what ever bike you like if much more above than 6ft its RE ThunderBird is a preferable choice. at the same time jawa has its pros & cons similarly RE as we all know about the vibrations in RE at higher speeds and Rusting & Pain quality in Jawa. So go by your requirement and the bike which suits you more.
  • Bro go for Thunderbird me piche 3 yrs se use KR raha hu bike awesome bike hai feature loaded hai built quality awesome hai milage around 35 ki mil jaeti hai meko maintenance Bhai 1500 me service ho jati hai plus jagah jagah store hai kahi bhi service krwa lo jawa ke itne service center nai hai across India so bro go for Thunderbird

    Great power and torque 

    The seat of Bajaj Avenger 220 Street is most comfortable and the space is very good on the seat and the fuel tank design look different. The torque is really good and the initial and mid range gives great power but the top end is not good. The engine refinement is good but the top end gives very high vibration. The clutch of this bike is very light and the gearbox is very smooth and the seating position is very comfortable and the suspension is excellent also on the bad road with good stabiltiy.

    The Urban Cruiser 

    When I bought the Bajaj Avenger 220 Street, I was looking for a bike that could handle daily commutes and occasional long rides with equal ease. The Avenger 220 Street With its commanding street presence, low slung seat and a powerful 220cc engine, seemed like the perfect match. The cruiser's engine, producing 19.03 PS power and 17.5Nm torque has never left me wanting, whether navigating city traffic or cruising on the highway.However the journey has not been all smooth in terms of comfort.

    Using a mix of nostalgic inspiration 

    " The 2023 Bajaj Avenger Street 220 for me has been like the best of both worlds, offering a combination of vintage cruiser form with the latest package of technologies on it. Aesthetically catchy with roomy seating position offers the rider the opportunity to pick the bike from the rest of other cruisers. The low road 220 Street shows ​ ​how it delivers ​high-end satisfying rides along with nice handling ​ characteristics, this ​definitely brings back the feel of cruising joy. By releasing the power in an unhurried manner, the system is able to ensure that drivers on long trips enjoy a gentle and comfortable ride. Safety parts like the disc brakes will make rides more playful as now you would not have to worry about the brakes. The inviting seat and eye-catching styling only serve to increase the closet's attractiveness. Bajaj Avenger 220 street is indeed a classic car, a certainly new standard to the other cruiser cars when it comes to style and comfort."
