Suzuki Gixxer vs Bajaj Avenger Street 160 Comparison

The Suzuki Gixxer may be a bit long in the tooth, having been around for close to a decade. When it was launched it immediately set new benchmarks for the segment, and even today, offers a very well-rounded package. The Gixxer is the near-perfect beginner motorcycle, which has decent power and performance from its 155 cc engine, impressive refinement and good ride and handling.

The Bajaj Avenger Street 160 offers an affordable package in a cruiser-like design over what is essentially a commuter motorcycle. Ergonomics are feet forward and the suspension is softly sprung, not so great while going over broken surfaces. While the engine is good enough to potter around the city, the Avenger Street 160 is happiest at speeds under 80 kmph, and that limits its touring capabilities.
