I keep travelling at least twice or thrice every month from my work place to my home town. Distance is around 270 kms one way. Right now, I rely on crowded govt. buses, which take around 7.5 hours for a one way travel. I will need to make the frequent trips at least for the next 2.5 yrs, so there's no way around it.
Recently, I've been thinking about traveling the distance by a bike. I should be able to cut the travel time by at least half. Roads are near perfect for almost the entire distance. I guess a cruiser like bike, with more stress on comfort, is important for my needs. As of now, the only bike that feels suitable is the Avenger 220 Street (am not really keen on the Cruise variant). Are there any alternatives for the same? I wouldn't be able to spend over 1 lakh on the bike.
BTW, does my plan really make sense? Around 550 kms spread over two separate days and once in 10 days is doable, right? I love riding, although I haven't done such a distance previously. I don't have a car (or the budget for one), and don't know to drive one too, in case someone suggests buying a car.
