Bajaj has finally launched the motorcycle made from the Invincible metal of INS Vikrant in India and named it'V'. The motorcycle is different from others at it carries a feel of patriotism and proud in itself. Bajaj says that the fuel tank of the motorcycle would be made from the recycled metal after the dismantling of the retired warship.
The design is a one of its kind offering in this new segment, termed as premium commuter by the motorcycle maker. The classic feel missed with the modern approach of Bajaj has made the V a special one for 2016. Bajaj also hints at a limited production of 20, 000 units a month and the exact price of V is INR 62, 002(ex-showroom Delhi). The motorcycle would definitely be special for those who are firmly attached with the stories of the war hero, INS Vikrant.
Design and Style
Bajaj has presented the new V with a totally new design for the segment it would be rivaling in the near future. Defining the design of the bike is a bit difficult task as it would look a new thing whenever you see it from a different angle. Starting from its front view, it looks more like a commuter motorcycle with premium Finish938844 and design. The headlamp is actually the most debatable part as it could have been a round headlamp with Avenger styling, reminding the times when Boxer used to rule the Indian streets. Many would miss the V because of its headlight only as no other part seems odd to the new name. Looking from the side, the headlight assembly carries a Benelli like design and looks great from its side view. The three quarter's for the headlamp are neither odd nor perfect. Leaving its headlight behind, the best part comes in the form of an all-new fuel tank, made from the metal of INS Vikrant. It is special and it's design speaks clearly for itself.
The fat looking tank is well chiseled from certain angles and provide a premium look to the motorcycle. It resembles to those on expensive Bonneville range from Triumph, with an Insignia of the INS Vikrant. It comes with a dual tone Finish938844 and also houses the all new V logo on both of the sides. The seat of the new V is a straight one and comes with a panel for converting the motorcycle into a single seater. The seat being a single piece houses the panel on its rear end, providing the cafe racer feel whereas with a key, it can be removed within a minute and the bike is ready for the pillion rider. The rear end of the bike is futuristic and beautiful, with Mahindra Mojo style extended panel right from the middle of the motorcycle's seat. It houses an excellent looking tail lamp and comes with a great overall panel hellokids.
Instrument Console
The instrument console on the new V is relatively simple and classic in design. Two division, one round on the left and oval on the right houses all that's counted as the instrument panel for the motorcycle. The round dial gets an Anasultanlogue speedometer and odometer. The neutral light and fuel indicator is housed in the oval surrounding. Both the areas are silver outlined and looks good with the overall design of the motorcycle.
