Bajaj V15 review, road test

    Bajaj has converted bits of aircraft-carrier metal into a special motorcycle for the masses. We’ll smelt the promise to see what it’s really made of.

    Now despite Bajaj already having a few 150cc engines at its disposal, the V15 comes with a completely new mill that churns out 12hp at 7,500rpm and 13Nm at 5,500rpm. In keeping with its commuting intent, Bajaj has allowed for a very usable torque band that is noticeable from the get-go; which translates to comfortably pulling away in fourth gear from as low as 20kph. This responsiveness from the engine tends to fade off once you start to climb the rev range. The engine also starts to emanate vibrations and feels thrashy at higher revs.

    0-60kph Comparison

    Bajaj V15- 6.17secs
    Bajaj Pulsar AS150- 5.11secs
    Bajaj Discover 150F- 5.29secs
