Worth to have new experience. Review on Bajaj Avenger Street 150

I have been using this bike since one year and completed all 3 free services. The kilometers driven is 8000.

The main reason for purchasing this bike was it's posture and needed something different considering that my previous bike was Yamaha Gladiator SS.

During first 6 months only the rear break started making noise. I reported it to Service center and they applied some workaround and issue recurred after 4-5 days.

Also, had the issue with gear shifting from 4 to 5, many times it get stuck, so before releasing the clutch I have to ensure it's shifted properly.

Let's talk about different areas-

Posture/ Confirt-

Looking at the bike it has great posture however when you hit the speed breaker and if speed is not less enough you get bounced directly over your back. On other bikes you can apply the support from your legs but due to posture of Avenger you are on your back only as your legs are way forward.

Road grip-

The advantage of the lesser height is that on the uneven roads you can balance the bike easily and there are less chances of falling on one side.

Average-

Honestly speaking I get 49 kmpl in the city. Surprisingly it's more than what Bajaj claim, but it's true, probably because I don't drive rash.

Maintenance-

I will say Moderate, considering the break, gear and battery issues in the one year itself.

Pickup-

Considering 150 cc engine it's not up to the mark, the bike is heavy, tires are huge. These factors restrict it at some extent.

Sitting space-

Compared to other bikes it gives you more space if you are with family. The seat is lengthy and if you attach the back rest it will give more comfort to the pillion rider.

Looks-

The looks are great considering it's cruise type shape. You will fall for that.

Service center-

I got it regularly serviced from Sai Service, Phugewadi. The staff is polite, honest but sometimes they lack the knowledge of solving the issue going to the root. Example of gear issue. It still exists.

Considering overall performance, pros and cons I would recommend it to any new buyer.
