I love watching videos from Powerdrift, and India in general. Here in the west you see people complaining that their 250 or 300 or even 500 isn't enough, isn't a real bike, while if you take a look halfway across the world - that same 250cc bike will be seen as a sporty, great handling road machine. Talk about proportion.
Great video as always!
The bike has turned out to be really great and taking the commuter segment by storm. Hats off to Bajaj and a special thanks to powerdrift for displaying the V15 in all it's glory. All though the bike is great, I personally feel that if Bajaj had used the metal of INS Vikrant on it's Higher displacement motorcycles like the new Bajaj Avenger series, it would have shaken the biking scenario here in India,well that's just my personal preference,anyways the Bajaj v15 has turned out great!
+Abhinav Kumar they pretty much created a new segment of patriotic buyers by marketing this bike as a new brand 'V' instead of using it for cruiser bikes.
Thats very good marketing.
Bajaj v15 bike lover's. Hit one like
Looks like a Benelli tnt and a moto guzzi v7 had sex and called their baby v15. That headlight kinda screws up the look.
+cueballB what aspect/genes did v15 got from Benelli tnt?
Just the face. I was just talking looks here.
yes, the face set's up the mood! I dont understand ? ton of money goes in r&d and the guys at hq decide to screw up the most imp thing on a bike. even a 10th class guy could design better headlamps than these..... smh
Yeah. Put a round headlight on that sucker and it'll look soooo much better.
Its been 5yrs i have v15 and this bike is so awesome that still i m not bored riding it although i use it for everyday purpose, still every ride makes me feel that i m riding imported bike. And still i mostly look videos of riders riding this bike, awesome work Bajaj
It make you feel proud
Milega kitni milti hai bro
@@DilpreetSingh00 around 45
All the curves on the bike are nice except the headlight. Headlight looks out of of place.
+naitikgreyman That's something almost everyone is complaining about! You would have preferred round ones as well?
+PowerDrift - i think round headlamp will look better on thin commuter....like scrambler
+PowerDrift Or maybe flat rectangular with oval edges kinda like an elongated smartphone with all around DRLs...man they could have made the head look so slick and futuristic on this one, would have killed all other commuter bikes single handedly
+naitikgreyman I cannot agree more. U wrote my mind.
Harley Davidson bikes r so low in hight, because due to low centre of gravity it reduces the accidents and will be easier to handle even with multiple pillion riders (but if u r new to the bike u may feel it is not easy, but it wil take some time to realise). And at the same time bikes like pulsar unicorn hunk fz will be difficult to handle particularly even with a single pillion rider, and which leads to accidents, unfortunately companies (except few like Harley Davidson) r not caring about. Infact about a decade ago i wrote letters to all companies to reduce the hight. I appreciate bajaj for bringing this bike, and i am going to buy it.
This bike is superb. My exp after owning it fr a yr., n running it for 7400km.
Bike look is awesome frm all angle. Bajaj has hit a jackpot in tht dept. Sme ppl doesn't like some aspect in its design but I have no issues.
Milege is btw 40-45km on avg speed of 50km per hr.
Top speed I have never chkd actually, but did touch 90km without any vibration. So u can say vib. is nt a issue here.
Good pick up n power.
Changing gears had issue initially but 1nce u settle in no prblm in it either.
Over all a good bike which gives total satisfaction.
I am using my passion pro for the past 12 years, for commuting. This is a high time for me to change my bike. Hope V15 would be a good choice. I am hesitating after seeing the real wheel dimension, 16", Atleast it should be 17". I guess that's the reason this bike has more torque than speed and vibration at 60 KMPH itself. For Bangalore pothole roads, is 16" wheel sufficient? won't it create back pain.? As a family man, I am ok with seat dimensions.
I own this BV15. Recently made a ride from Mumbai to Pune ( nearly 150KM) up and down at late night. This bike rode the Khandala / Lonavala hill ways in ease and comfort with a pillion rider. There is vibration if you go over 85-90KM/hour but upto that it rides super cool.
Bajaj got the best economic-price tag as compared with features/specs. Compare the Dominar vs RE 300 in terms of price & features.
Seems Bajaj Bikes are like Redmi Phones ;)
Looks like the traffic cops can add this bike to their line up. Serves best with the single seat, plus adds to the "patriotism" quotient.
P.S: The head light is a big let down. The shape reminds me of an old undie :P
+Prateek Ahuja Yes! a round headlight would've been much better.
+Sunil Samson Nadella head light especially deisgned for night riding.. Great bike..
raghava prince Aren't all headlights designed for night riding?

I'm a car guy to the core and can't ride a bike properly. Your channel is the best I found for bike reviews and I will appreciate if you can make a video on things to consider while buying a second hand bike.
Secondly, being a car guy I judge reviews very deeply and you guys are way better than any Indian car review channel I must say. The script, the videography, everything is top notch.
Thank you so much for your words of appraisal! They really mean a lot to us and that's a neat suggestion.
Hoping it will be available soon in Philippines
What were they trying to build? A cruiser, commuter or a touring motorcycle? Looks like they had no idea what they were trying to do!?
hell i saw u on baner-pashan link road... and that time i was just wondering how this bike comes to road... on this day u took my full attention...
nyc review
Yes +shahrukh shikalgar, that was us! The first ride event happened in Pune itself! :)
Thank you and subscribe for more!
- The looks are good !
- 150 CC more than enough for the Indian Roads !
- And The the price is 62,000/- is awesome !
- Plus It have a history to tell !
- Thanks Power Drift for the review !
I will wait for a V20 or a V22 even V30..if they ever come out. I guess Bajaj can make it happen. They did it with every other product they have. But quite frankly for V15, 150cc is a bit small for that awesome design..and come on..its a part of our History...The INS Vikrant deserves more respect.
+Rob Thomas The V series might go forward, but Bajaj have confirmed that this is the only bike that will get the INS Vikrant badging!
Is the saddle of the v15 long enough to seat 2 people comfortable? In other words can I use it as a family commuter bike?
I am a proud owner of V15..... if anyone wishes to buy it just close your eyes and buy...
pick up kaise hai
akshay krishnan bhai thodi speed aur pick up thik hai na me soch raha ho lene ki bata de
+Gautam Manna pick up 150cc ke worth nai hai. But it has quite a bit of torque than usual.
55 close in cities and close on Highways.
I drove from Hyderabad to chennai nearly 700 KM with full tank and after reaching chennai it went into reserve.
akshay krishnan I'm new to this motorcycle thing and I wanted to ask you if this bike is good for beginners like me, I just need your opinion because I liked it a lot
" i thought it's imported or what ! " - V15 :: THUG-LIFE
is a good bike..reliable...fuel economy...i try to buy thi bike but a little bit confused with hero achiever 150cc..
so which bike is best bajaj v15 or achiever 150cc
So do you suggest buying this bike if it fits my budget and fits the need of comuting in the city majorly and going out of city once in a while for a long drive? Or the issues of bike vibrating over 60kmph and all up gear box would be a big issue? i am noivce rider and very much confused.
INS VIKRANT transformed into a bike and I need to say "WELL DONE BAJAJ" and you powerdrift guys you are absolutely superb in making reviews and the way you present the things it's really nice ,as I am vehicle enthusiast I usually see most of the Indian reviews and international too and you are only one in India (powerdrift) have that international level of standard on your reviews good luck
+Basim salim Not all of the bike has INS Vikrant in it though but then again, Bajaj are not putting this across as a limited edition motorcycle! Your kind words are much appreciated!
Decent looking ride .. but BAJAJ didnt have to try toooo hard with the headlamps (and fuck it up massively) .. ALL THAT was needed was to install the round headlamp of the firrrst pulsar and the same instrument cluster and viola! they wouldve had a masterpiece.
exactly my thought !!! a simple rounded headlight wud have massively increased its appeal quotient .. an example of what happens to most bikes these days .. do they even discuss if the design s gud before jumping to production .. just WHY ?!
+prajesh bhushan once buy and see y they have fifteen that lights front. it is used for road safety.. Lovely bike lovely design
Got my bike this week, will post my review soon. Thank u powerdrift 😊
+Sreekumar Nair Awesome Sreekumar. Hope our First Ride helped you in many ways than one!
+PowerDrift s it did👍
+PowerDrift this is a grt bike. done 2k km yday n no issue so far except fr engine dead fr few minutes once. amazing grip n power with superb mileage at the same tym... recommend to go fr V.
Bajaj V or Yamaha sz or Hero Achiever or Honda Unicorn. Which one do you suggest for a 60+ person. Main things I think of is weight, handling in city and flat driver and pillion seat
With full tank fuel, I don't have to think of next 700 kms.. vibration also gone after several service, but top speed is just 110km/h which is really a highway issue...
Hi guys,
I'm planing to go ladakh from delhi with this bike or Yamaha FZ, which one is better to go.
Bajaj V15 good for long rides and cold starts?
The reviews given by you guys are really amazing . Thumps up to that first . Lovely bike with quite an interesting features . What more can we expect ? :)
Love to read such feedback! :)
61-62 bang for the buck... Unique in its segment..Each & every part of the bike is new & only designed for V15..! Bajaj wants to snatch its crown again in 150cc !...& surely it is doing.. look at the sales figure. IT's a Glory Edition.
+Siddarth kashyap Plus we hear that the V15 has already bagged quite an impressive number of bookings!
Guys waiting for your IBW video is it out yet???
+Vinay Kapoor End of the month is when we're planning in releasing it :)
Subscribe so you don't miss out on the notification when it goes live.
i should buy v12 or v15 ?? , i heard that v15 vibrates at the speed of 60 to 80 bt , bajaj work on vibrations in v12 , is it true ??? or pulsar 135 LS among these ???
Shivam Da Rathore v15 vibrates @65kmph and maximum it goes is 105kmph but the power and pickup is far more better than v12 but to be honest both are best in its segment
hi PD team, i am confused between Pulser 135ls and bajaj v which one to pick. I would travel between 40 to 50 KMS daily basis with in kolkata. main criteria is comfort and milage. I already have a Thunderbird 350 so i dont want a high cc bike for office going purpose. kindly suggest.
Finally a review in English, thanks a lot, I appreciate your efforts...
love the tail lamp and how the all bike is made.. it would look better if it had round old pulsar head lights
Plz do a review of Bajat CT100-B and also a comparison video between ct100-b and other economical bikes...
A few issues for me.
1. Tail reminds me of another motorcycle.. a cruiser I think it was, just cant remember which one. so loses out on originality.
2. No circular headlight on a motorcycle with quite a few curves
3. Main issue, the small 150cc engine instead of the bigger avenger engine
But overall it's actually pleasing to the eye
+Vallon The circular headlight would've been a good change! The 150cc engine is built group-up and is pretty good considering it is a city commuter.
Nice touch.. adding the pulsarmania ad music in the background!!!!
+TheAnirude huh? :P
+PowerDrift it starts at 2:13 most people wouldn't be able to tell.. But I have superhuman hearing 😉😉😉
really impressed with the bike, something different in the 150cc segment.
this is just my imagination at work, I find the rear end to be a mini mini version of the huge Suzuki Boulevard.especially that tail lamp :).
+Jonak Bordoloi Executive commuter is what they're calling them and we think it has worked!
True. A lot of people have spotted the similarities!
I am a proud owner of Bajaj v15 since last two years... It's look is great although I had changed headlight to a round one.
That's an interesting mod!
Sir is bajaj is going to launch this bike in 2020 bs model.sir plz i am waiting for the reply😭😭😭😭😭
i like hornet, gixxer ,unicorn 160 and avenger 150. my purpose is to commute to my office everyday which is 20 km one side.i have been riding the very first pulsar from the last 13 years.for me safty and comfort are the prime factors and then comes the performance.i love machines like anything.i would prefer the one with the strong smooth engine with the performance.my height is 5.8 and i love to treasure great machines.i test my machines till the core sometimes.
looks comes at last for me.
please suggest me a bike out of these...
and yes i cant see any bullet guys overtaking me with that weird sound and posture.. lol
I bought this on the day of launch and i have made a small change.
I replaced traditional rearviews with cafe racer mirrors.
And upto 6 months after purchase every used to ask me Is the bike imported???
It feels very proud to own a part of history
Congratulations on your bike. Ride safe comrade.
The headlight seems to be the only problem...from the looks point of view
+Vl Hruaitluanga A lot of the comrades feel likewise.
At last, someone mentions Hunk!
+Karthikeyan K lol
MOHAMMED MUZAMMIL I own a Hunk too, 2015 Hunk DD. Hunk is awesome! Such underated bike.
+Karthikeyan K lol indeed, we rarely hear about the Hunk, I own a 2010 Hunk and still happy to have it. :D
Sam Ranjan I own a 2015 one with double disk and I'd say that its the best 150CC out there.
headlights should atleast have been like the yamaha fz ..... it totally spoils the back stunning look
+Deepesh Shah Yah, it would match better than the one it have..!
+Hashim T Abubacker The PDARMY agrees!
PowerDrift Can you make a video tweaking this bike with different headlights?
If I ever had to design a scrambler, I personally would have preferred a round headlamp with shiny/matte single or dual configuration speedo as seen in some of the iconic scramblers. Everything else looks great on this masterpeice Bajaj created. Good job Powerdrift. You guys have done really a nice review...!
+Ankit Chauhan Thank you Ankit! A lot of the comrades are not liking the headlamp it seems. Hope Bajaj is hearing this out!
back part was simply awsme
which colour is best white or black
how's the bike? need a true review so that I can look forward to purchase it. pls help me out.
+piyush bihade It's an interesting product, would make for a great city commuter
Ok.. understood but it is worth buying yamaha YZF R 15 S. waiting for ur review
+Khem Prakash yeah i have it..n my baby is just awesome...
rohan albal we want to see u in every video of powerdrift coz ur speech sounds great(coz u dont have that typical indian accent while speaking english) and it give different feel while watching.
yup agree dude. what a style dis dude have
I'm 6ft, will this be a comfortable ride for me?
gear shift pattern complete no no.1 down rest up is d best format.
how comfortable was the ride?
Aimed to be a commuter, it definitely doesn't tire you out for a long long time!
how about the vibrations in this bike ? can the engine be refined to get more power ?
in the video he said there are no vibrations clearly. Engine fit strongly in two cradle bar unlike single cradle.
u should chang the head light.its same other bike head light.better put round light
thank you PD army.😀
hey! I'm planning to buy a Royal Enfield but im a little confused which one to go for :( can u plz help me out for tht?? i want to buy it for my daily use as well as for touring in future and im confused between the classic, thunderbird & electra. plz lemme know ur opinion :)
Electra, cheapest, same comfort, same power
am also going with tb
what would b final price ??
i visited to my nearest dealers, they r saying it would be 75k.
but in launching time i heard that it will be between 62 to 67k.
I'm quit fresher in this term.
Can u please help me out ??
+Shiv Kumar Maurya The ex showroom price is Rs. 62,000! The on-road price will differ according to your city! Here you go - www.bikewale.com/pricequote/
when are you guys going to review the new Superb? eagerly waiting for you review
Which part of USA Sagar is now a days?
I'm from Las Vegas and by any chance if he is in West Coast, it would be my pleasure to meet him
bajaj v15 vibrates after 65+ as i have read in comments and another bike i have in list is sz rr.. which one shall i buy?? does vibration effects the performance of the bike?? pls help
No
Mt. Kilimanjaro? Hell, yeah!
+Varun Sarathy Hahaha!
Ride quality and suspension performance ?
Smooth - Proud Owner since 5 years
That headlamp be the dealbreaker for me.
from bd
which one I should buy
v15
or gixer se
A nice looking bike but its headlight reminds me of a Discover(ruins the look and feel of the bike). Another review well executed by Powerdrift, keep it up!
+Vaibhav Dua A lot of the other comrades feel the same about the headlamp. We applaud because it is something the segment hasn't seen before!
wish the bike comes with round headlight which will be more good to look at. Even the meter panel is a little odd.
Vitara Breeza review please,and also a comparison with ford eeco sport and renault duster.
Nice intro TenHut... Wonder what Sarge is doing in the US when the action is in India 😀😄
+Suraj Joel A secret project? ;)
whens the detailed review for v12 . would like a comparison between v12 and v15.
I found this very balanced one covering all the aspect of motorcycle style, performance, material and more importantly focus on daily commuting!! Soon, i would love to have hands on experience! ;)
Get well soon Akash!!
Thank you +Mukesh Solanki! That's what we do with each First Ride report :)
Head to the nearest Bajaj showroom!
Ive been desperately waiting the entire day for your review on the RE Himalayan. Isnt that thing supposed to launch today?
This Bike is Really special .This bike is a part of INS Vikrant. We Should proud...
+nishin abraham Do we see this on your shopping list?
i wish..
He should review more bikes, and thankyou.. for not taking this one to Lavasa. (Y)
I enquired this bike is around 72k Mumbai Onroad ?? Any other options between the 70 - 75k onroad mumbai
What is it that you seek from a motorcycle?
We might help you in making an informed buying decision.
+PowerDrift ..i am not so speedy guy.. i prefer normal mature riding..good milage..easy movings in city..wider tyres..not those of honda shine.such tyres create problems on mumbai roads..i thought of hornet without disc brake at 92k or unicorn 160 cbs at 89k.bt i am bit confused as i like to drive smoothly on highways and cut lanes on traffic roads..so 92k for hornet is it worth...also then in 7 years of bike riding..i have Highest covered 160kms in a day on bajaj platina..no long trips like 400-500kms total etc..so i thght of bajaj v..as it has tubeless wide tyres.. easily flicks in traffic..heavy also..as platina is difficult to ride in highway..milage of bajaj v is also good..but i s@w sm bad reviews abt bajaj v..so ur expert opinion might help to make a decision
no bike of 150cc segment comes under 85 as of my knowledge at atleast in Hyderabad!!
Where s the review of r15 v3 and rtr apache 160 4v guys???
how the vibrations in v15!?!?
'm seeking a bike with comfort, mileage and looks...can u guys help??
Avenger is the most comfortable and looks good but a bit pricey.
Best bike as well as best video
Varun did a great review.. (y) The video started with Rohan & I was like "woah, now hez gonna do a bike review too!!" #fan. The bike luks grt, but like Varun said I wish thy had the gear setup like the regular bikes, 1down, rest up. And the head light is pretty effed up.. But all in all, #PowerDrift good review!
Cheers mate!
Cheers mate!
how much km can run constantly this bike???
i understand , its a commuter.
but can this be used for short 200km rides... ?
just asking...
Wouldn't be a problem, Aravind.
Though wind buffeting would cause fatigue to set in early. We would recommend you take sufficient breaks.
@@powerdriftofficial thank yu....👍
I have questions ki jab bhi mein apni v15 20-30 min tak chala leta hou uske baad rpm bilkul down ho jata hai and traffic light pe ruk jati hai jabki meri idle tuning 1 se jda hai
Hey Lakshay, we recommend that you get the bike checked at an authorised service centre. They will be able to properly diagnose the problem and provide a solution.
Shi bike h ye ... 110 kph tak bhaag jaati h or ... 100 rupye mein ... Ache se chalao toh 80 k.m tak chal jaati h yhi white 150 cc he h mere pas
I want ur suggestions sir
Can I buy v15
Daily i ride 70 to 75 km.
How much it's fuel efficiency??????
I own a V15 since last 5 years. I used to get 45 kmpl in the city and 60 kmpl in the highway when it was new. Even now I get around 40 kmpl
very nice touch the seat cowl
Hello Powerdrift Army my bike(BAJAJ V15) petrol is leaking from a pipe when I turn on the oil tap and its also not starting. It happened all of a sudden without any issue. My bike is new. Bought only 15 days before. So PD team can you please suggest from where it is occuring?
Hey Sumanta, you should connect with the nearest authorised service centre ASAP. The cause cannot be found without checking the bike.
PowerDrift ok thanks for your reply btw😶
Not a single dislike !
Vikrant Overwhelmed 😅
+Rakesh Yadav Yay! :D
The bike design is elegant except the headlight. I wish bajaj launch its another variant with a headlight similar to Scrambler and it will rock on Indian roads !!
great HJC Jorge Lorenzo replica helmet althought I am not a big fan of Jorge.Can someone please suggest me where to buy one.
That is the HJC FG-17 X-Fuera
Sir, Among bajaj pulsar 200ns,honda CBR 150 and bajaj v15 which one will be best to buy !!
That would have to depend on your riding preferences - NS for spirited urban riding, CBR for comfortable touring and attacking corners, and the V15 for if you like to commute in a retro-ish style! :D
2:55 a Royal Enfield Classic appeard in the background.
I have V15, love to ride it. However, gear box is not very smooth. Specially from 1st to Neutral is a challenge in first attempt.
+Ankur Parikh That is because, it does not get the conventional 1 down 4 up gearbox!
@ankur Bajaj bikes it is simple. Just hold and release the clutch then press....you can do in one attempt it is that simple. :) seen and done practically :)
Which bike I should buy around 70000 this one or any other option
Go for honda shine special edition instead
Honda Unicorn has tubeless tyres now. (From a dealer of Honda in India)
please let me know v15 tyres availability in indiam market. coz after few years hve to change it.
+sumit dhavde They'll be available in a local shop near you :)
Good time to launch new color apart from present two, ebony black and pearl white.
Seems Round head lamp is for next version. May be Bajaj V 18 is going to come with round head lamp, more power and 180CC,
25-30 km mileage, around 1,00,000 lack price tag. I think some group of people who are looking for 125cc or newly entering into 150cc seems this one is good enough with near 70k price.
+Guest visiter This is a 150cc motorcycle at the price of the a 135cc motorcycle. The 180cc variant if any won't be priced as high as 1 lac!
+PowerDrift You never know. Now almost all bikes with 160cc touching 90,000 tag. Unicorn 160 with combi braking and yamaha FZ-2, Apache 180 Abs in my city 90,000 or more. By the time next V series come they
may come up with 180 or 200cc with more emission control support and power/sporty features and may charge between 90,000 to 1,00,000 rupees. Other than bajaj I can not imagine any cruiser or cafe raiser under 1,00,000 lack price from any other company. If there are any available in today market let me know under 1 lack.
guys could you please review the RE Himalayan....
