Hi there. im back now with some good news. The bajaj auto is going to launch its own country made cruiser. The Avenger, this will be going to have a pulsar 180 dtsi engine . this is totally indian made . so now extra import prices like the older eliminator.
About the bike. They've finally done it. Rumours about Bajaj plonking the feisty engine from the Pulsar 180 DTSi into the Eliminator had been doing the rounds for a while, and we cssan now confirm that they're true. The new bike, called the Avenger, looks virtually identical to the machine it replaces, with Eliminator-spec mirrors, meters, lights, chrome console, brakes and wheels. The Pulsar engine's the same in terms of power output, only it's been tuned for more bottom-end torque in keeping with the cruiser character. Given that the Avenger is about 30 kg heavier than the Pulsar, there's a drop in outright performance, but the increased torque makes for relaxed riding. Wring the throttle open and you'll see 115 kph, but it's happiest cruising at 85 kph. The swingarm has been extended by 15mm, ride height has been marginally raised and suspension travel has been increased at both ends. None of these changes have affected the bike's enjoyable handling and it will swing confidently into corners, holding its line well. The exhaust note is a bit louder, but sounds quite business-like and isn't distracting. The most significant change is in its price, though – at an estimated Rs 63,000 (ex-showroom) it's Rs 30,000 cheaper than the Elim, Rs 20,000 less than the Enfield Thunderbird and only Rs 4,000 more than the Yamaha Enticer. The best-value cruiser out there? You bet.
SO this is gonna cost very less.
NOW I think I bought the pulsar-180 dtsi in a hurry. I would have waited for a while for this bike.
And PLZ PLZ DONT FORGET TO RATE THE REVIEW...:) see ya
