    The Avenger 200 is a typical cruiser, sitting on a gaping 1475mm wheelbase and 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels. Faithful to its cruiser segment this bike pampers riders with its broad riding saddle and splayed out riding stance that compares closer to an armchair in a sitting room rather than a motorcycle. Comfort is the key word, with handling dynamics and cornering manners a compromise as expected when riding bikes like this cruiser. The handlebar is flat, and passengers sit low on this bike, with legs outstretched around a broad and voluminous 14-litre fuel tank. The Avenger uses standard telescopic front suspension and twin hydraulic units as rear suspenders. The frame is a twin down-tube affair in front, with an elliptical section steel swingarm connecting to its rear wheel. Ride quality is decent, with rock-steady stability at any speed. This heavy cruiser can become a handful to maneuver in heavy traffic, and is definitely not the perfect bike to go attacking corners on. Yet it is a bike that offers eyeball-dislodging braking. The Avenger 200 DTS-i used only 14.32 meters and 2.26 seconds to halt from 60kph.

    Yes, 40hp at this price is unheard of!

    No, it's a decade-old bike in a revamped suit.

    Great value but doesn't look unique enough.
