Harley-Davidson Sportster S vs Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 Comparison

The Harley-Davidson Sportster S certainly has a lot going for it. Great looks, a punchy engine, and all the latest electronics and chassis components that you may seek in a thoroughly modern motorcycle. But the lack of suspension travel, and the feet forward riding position robs the Sportster S of comfort and practicality. Limited fuel tank capacity, and ergonomics aren’t suitable to take the Sportster S out for a long-ish ride. As a motorcycle, the new Sportster S makes a solid case as a modern-day Harley-Davidson. The design may have polarising opinions, particularly from the ‘classic’ Harley faithful. Despite its negatives, it does make for an attractive proposition, if it’s a quintessential Harley-Davidson one is looking for, in a more modern, performance-oriented avatar.

The long list of features that the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 provides at a starting on-road price of ₹ 1.49 lakh, the bike is a good value. It is surely an undisputed champion among this segment in the Indian market. It is great for off-road trips as well, as it provides functionality and comfort for the riders. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is comfortable and functional for a long ride and ensures and the safety of the passenger. Overall, the Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is a good bike.
