The Bajaj V12 stands out in its category
Verdict – The V15 proved out to be a great success for the company and we hope they do the same with the new V12. At Rs. 56,283/- (ex-showroom, Delhi), it has been aggressively priced. The V12 for sure is a better looking motorcycle in its segment, except for its headlamp though. The engine is smooth and refined. The ride quality is stable and good. It performs well in the city and on the highway. It is a premium commuter motorcycle and offers many things which its competition motorcycles do not offer. The V12 contains the metal of the INS Vikrant and owning this bike is like owning a piece of our heritage and riding it with all pride, that’s how many customers are likely to associate with it.

What’s Not So Cool
* The butterfly-shaped headlamp design does not go well with the bike
