The Pune-based auto maker, Bajaj Auto, has come up with a new radical product in the beginner’s commuter motorcycle market. The V15 is forged from metal taken from the Indian Navy’s first aircraft carrier – INS Vikrant. It carries scrambler-inspired retro-modern looks and comes with some of the most interesting features, such a removable rear seat cowl, front disc brake, stylish alloy wheels and clear-to-read instrumental panel. Being launched in a quite affordable price range, the new Bajaj V15 promises to be an interesting package overall.
Its 150 cc engine is estimated to deliver a decent fuel economy of 45 kilometres to a litre, which means that with a full tank, it will take you to more than 700 kilometres in a single run. For reference, the bike can accommodate 13 litres of fuel when brimmed to the top.
Also, its 165 mm ground clearance will make it a hassle-free ride when travelling on slushy surfaces. Its high-raised wide handlebar contributes to make it a confident handler, and its well-padded seats and relaxed riding ergonomics indeed make it a comfortable motorcycle for everyday commuting.
