The inclusion of flyscreen will help the new bike handle wind blasts better than the one it replaces.

The Suzuki Intruder 150 has an in-your-face styling, derived from its bigger 1,800 cc cousin. The bulky bodywork is muscular, and the bike features a full-digital instrumentation. The 2018 Bajaj Avenger Street 180 on the other hand retains the Avenger’s trademark swanky cruiser-like design lines, with a raked-out front end and a small but fat rear tyre.

The Intruder’s fatter tyres and the presence of a single channel ABS makes it a relatively better bike when it comes to braking. The Avenger has a slightly better range thanks to the 2-litre bigger fuel tank than the Intruder. Overall, the Intruder’s design and equipment command a considerable premium of INR 18,597 over the Avenger.
