I have been given to use it for two years, as he has gone out on a long posting for two years. I like the bike. The windshield is expensive, but seems to be good, though I have not bought it yet, looks like it will be prone to scratches. I like this bike a lot. I am not sure about the quality of the parts and the bike itself, too early for me to comment. But certainly, can not ask Harley like comforts at this price. I think, it will get improved in future. Where can one get the side bags, hard bags or box like things to carry some stuff in it? <BR/><BR/>Getting familiar with the bike, I have done only 305 kms so far. Any suggestions?<BR/><BR/>I am not a hardcore biker, but love it now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-46769297703145124122008-06-07T15:40:00.000+05:302008-06-07T15:40:00.000+05:30Hii....I bougght an Avenger 200 6 months back,I a...Hii....<BR/>I bougght an Avenger 200 6 months back,I agree that its a good Bike,Its good looking but i have to bring One thing out the Showroom Guys and the Servicing guys of Hyderabad (I am From Hyderabad)they are tooooooo good,i bet you if,If you go once to the Service station after buying the bike next time you will think twice before going their.Unfortunately for me no other place is dre where i can get my bike serviced they know that and they behave like "BOSS IF YOU WANT,YOU STAY HERE AND GET YOU JOB DONE AND WE WILL DO IT IN OUR TERMS OR ELSE F--K OFF" <BR/>I think Bajaj has done a cruel thing to the customers by giving Servicing station in Srivinayaka Motors in Hyderabad.<BR/>HarishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-53590886235420531172007-10-12T14:55:00.000+05:302007-10-12T14:55:00.000+05:30"I forgive them all."good one, sagar.. heh hehahh ..."I forgive them all."<BR/><BR/>good one, sagar.. heh heh<BR/><BR/>ahh shucks to all avenger baiters, who are mostly HH fans who r really frustrated at their pyaara brand HH for not getting some good n "different" bikes out there.

So, in keeping with my last comment posted <A HREF="http://rearset.blogspot.com/2007/09/mailbag-16-leg-guards-guard-what.html#c4882466505254731888" REL="nofollow">there</A>, here's my two bits.<BR/><BR/>The <B>windshield</B>, probably the biggest visual differentiator on the 200, is not really very impressive. Starting at the headlight, it's a slim strip curving back to just about eye-level. You practically look at the road <B><I>over</I></B> it. Also, we won't know till she actually hits the road but, I suspect it might just suck stuff into your face at high speeds. There's also the additional weight of the glass to consider. it didn't look very 'crash-worthy' either, so, while the service center is willing to refit my 180 with one, I'll pass.<BR/><BR/>Then next external modification is the <B>console</B>. Barring the addition of the fuel guage, the new console was a bit of a turn off for me. Although more comprehensive, it felt more business-like than the one on the 180. It kinda' takes away from the retro feel that you get from those three little bulbs.<BR/><BR/>Coming to the heart of the matter (quite literally), the <B>engine</B> is definitely an object of desire. As @rearset said, the deep, responsible firing just got deeper... and smoother. Apparently, the additional 20cc added just enough bore. Now, you don't really get much of a feel for the bike on those mounts that they set up in Probiking showrooms, but 3rd and 4th gear didn't really seem very different; however, 5th gear was something else! I remember watching the needle skip a beat as I shot right past 75 and over to 90. That was a rush! Unfortunately (and obviously!) that's the only modification I can't retrofit! If only Bajaj and Shirode Auto had let me know 4 months ago... but, you know what... <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npzedFEs_Qg" REL="nofollow">I forgive them all.</A><BR/><BR/>As for the anonymous comment above, well, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d39nV_-Ejn0" REL="nofollow">some things</A> are better left anonymous.Saager Mhatrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03869587109666583246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612698.post-62191428860148446392007-10-11T18:51:00.000+05:302007-10-11T18:51:00.000+05:30@ anonymousReally?
