Bajaj Chetak

A large fuel tank and an average fuel consumption figure of 42 kpl leads to a reasonable interval between fuel tank toppings. The problem is the two-stroke engine, which generates the seven-plus bhp that powers the bike. It consumes more petrol as compared to the rest. The plus points are a tough body, low maintenance and initial cost and good resale value. The minus points are poor averages, unbalanced ride, stiff gear-shifting, lacklustre braking and higher pollution levels. This model is not Y2K proof.
