Bajaj Auto has always been at the forefront of introducing segment-busters in the Indian two-wheeler market. So it comes as no surprise that its freshest 150cc design, Bajaj V15, is an attempt at bridging the gap between the 125cc premium commuter and 150cc executive motorcycle segment.
But it would be unlike Bajaj if this was the end of the story - the motorcycle pays homage to India’s first aircraft carrier INS Vikrant in a unique manner and sports a design that has no parallel in the country.
When the Bajaj V was first spied, weeks preceding its launch, we wondered what the design team at Bajaj had been sniffing. Taking a look at those spy shots, the bike had looked like a botch-job of a Pulsar front and Avenger rear. It was difficult to imagine that the bike would even be accepted as a viable option in a segment with such well-designed bikes as the Honda Unicorn, Yamaha SZ-RR and others. However, when it was finally unveiled, we stopped in our tracks for a moment - it is that attractive.
