    Make : Bajaj
    Model : V15
    In its prime, the World War II-era British-built aircraft carrier, the INS Vikrant, witnessed its fair share of high sea drama and warfare after being purchased by India in 1957. Capable of housing and launching legendary aircraft like the Sea Harrier and the anti-submarine Alize, the Vikrant was certainly seen as a force to be reckoned with. But as with all work horses, eventually, they must be put down, or in this case, scrapped. In stepped Bajaj and appropriated the metal of the Vikrant and used it as a seed for their upcoming commuter. So, how much of the INS Vikrant’s fighting spirit does the V15 possess? This commuter motorcycle has come all guns blazing with a 150cc engine and distinctive styling to tackle a class of me-too commuters. We put the V15 through the test regimen to see where it stands.
