The first and foremost characteristics of cruiser bike is to drive it comfortably. As to say about “Avenger” series, all the bikes of this series are almost same. From the inspiration of the success of “Eliminator” (Kawasaki) Bajaj marketed their own product “Avenger” in the year of 2005. At first it was 180cc then 200cc and 220cc. They had increased the quality of this bike with power of their engine. Bajaj Avenger 150 Street was the model from the Avenger series marketed in India and Bangladesh a few years back.It was the least cc engine and least price cruiser in India.

And this is where we feel there had to be some distinction with respect to styling among the two cruisers. Nevertheless, it leads us not to worry about the body parts and performance level because the 180 users never complaints about the performance. It is quite large and the overall decals, seating, and ergonomics everything remains like adequate for the cruiser lovers indeed.
