similar = The Bajaj Avenger is a cruiser style motorcycle conceptualized and produced by Bajaj Auto in India. It draws the styling and other design cues from the Bajaj Eliminator which had an air-cooled, single cylinder Kawasaki engine and was sold at a premium.

To gain a strategic position in the premium segment, Bajaj engineers replaced the Kawasaki single with the indigenously conceived, and more successful, 178.6 cc DTS-i engine from the Bajaj Pulsar sportbike. However, the engine had to be re-tuned to suit the torque-demanding characteristics of a cruiser. There was a massive slash in the price tag thus making it the highest value-for-money package in the market. It is also the first cruiser developed by an Indian company. The wheelbase is 1,475 mm, the longest in any motorcycle in India.
