Low seat height and cruiser styling make the Avenger 160 Street a favourite among many new riders. But it’s up for debate whether that’s the best choice for beginners. Long wheelbase and limited performance, some say, could foster bad habits while its relaxed riding position and manageable power make it well suited to learning, others argue. There are other factors too: the bike's weight, braking, low speed maneuverability. Some also wonder if it would be better to start on a more versatile standard style bike to help develop the skill. With all the conflicting opinions out there, it’s hard for new riders to know if the Avenger 160 is really a good first bike or otherwise.
