Q. I have to buy a new bike for my father. He is in his early 50s. He is having a slip disk problem for few months. The roads in my city Varanasi are very poor, with multiple 50-100m stretchers of off-road-like patches which put jerk on his lower back. He has to use a bike often every day. The bike in my mind is avenger street. It seems comfortable and the pillion seat is also comfortable for my mother. Please advise on a bike to purchase on a budget of around 1.25-1.5 lacs. Thank you.

As per your requirement, Bajaj Avenger Street 160 and Bajaj Cruise 220 would be a great pick. As both the bikes offer a smooth engine, comfortable ride quality and reassuring braking prowess. Moreover, if you could stretch your budget, then you may also consider Royal Enfield Meteor 350. Meteor 350 offers plush ride quality, a greater sense of richness or, crucially, better cruising ability. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
