      The Avenger 160 Street is a great adventure and long-ride bike. It offers good mileage, reliable performance, and a stylish, comfortable design. I’ve had a good experience riding it, though I don’t have much idea about its maintenance yet.

      The vehicle is good for highway driving but takes a little time to get used to. Handling it in the city requires some practice. It would be even better if a GPS map feature were available.

      A good bike for both long drives and city commuting. It delivers good performance with average mileage. The rider needs to stay attentive on the road. The fuel tank could be a bit bigger. Overall, it’s a good bike at an affordable price.
