It draws the styling and other design cues from the [[Kawasaki Eliminator|Bajaj Eliminator]] which had an air-cooled, single-cylinder [[Kawasaki motorcycles|Kawasaki]] engine and was sold at a premium. It was launched with a 180&nbsp;cc engine, which has subsequently been increased to 200&nbsp;cc and then 220&nbsp;cc. ==Versions== === Avenger 180 === To gain a strategic position in the premium segment, Bajaj engineers replaced the Kawasaki single with the indigenously conceived, and more successful, 178.6&nbsp;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. The bike was launched in June 10, 2005.<ref name=blonnet2005>{{citation|url=http://www.blonnet.com/2005/05/24/stories/2005052401710200.htm|date=May 23, 2005|publisher=[[Business Line|The Hindu Business Line]]|title=Bajaj Auto to launch Avenger on June 10 }}</ref> It is also the first cruiser developed by an Indian company.
