Bajaj V User Reviews

I bought the Bajaj V15 in 2016 and was really impressed with the classic and retro style of the bike. I knew that I couldn't afford a Royal Enfield, so I thought this was the closest I could get. The pick-up of the bike is a bit lower than other 150cc bikes, but the mileage is quite satisfactory. I have used the bike both in the city and on road trips and it works quite well. The only feature that is similar to a Royal Enfield is the firing sound that the bike makes when the speed goes up to 50-70kmph. The bike vibrates a lot at this speed, but after that it runs smoothly.

The only problem I have faced with the bike since the past year is the back and neck pain that I experience after riding it for long hours. After taking a Royal Enfield training program, I was told that this is because of the improper functioning of the rear suspensions. The pillion seat is also quite uncomfortable and it causes back pain after an hour or so of sitting on it.

Overall, the Bajaj V15 is a great bike with a classic and retro style. It has a good mileage, runs smoothly and has a good sound. Despite the minor issues, it is a great bike for those who want a classic and retro look.

Buying the Bajaj V15 was a comparatively good experience, as it cost lesser than other 150cc bikes. The locking system was also good and stylish. However, the riding experience was quite bad, as even in 5th gear, it made a sound as if it was in 3rd gear. The backseat passenger was very uncomfortable while riding. If they don't hold on properly, they could easily fall off even at low speeds. The seating design was also very bad. The fuel indicator was not accurate either, showing full even when in reserve. This caused much confusion when it came to placing the fuel indicator. The performance was also not up to the mark, as the pick up was not great and after riding for more than 15 kms, the mileage dropped to 40 km/l. The service centres were also not good, as they didn't respond promptly and even during free service, they would charge a lot. After a free service, they would charge more than 3500Rs for normal service. The tyre was also of very poor quality, making it hard to ride. Long distance journeys were very uncomfortable and gave back pain. The main problem with the bike is that it has very low resale value. It is recommended that you do not purchase this bike.

Bike is good but the performance is not good, as soon as the speed goes above 50 kmph the bike gets vibrate. Looks wise is good but performance is worst. In 9 months I am planing to change the bike in next few month. The seats are very small. It's engine produces bad sounds also it is not comfortable for 2 people. Backseat is very short.

V is totally bad. The thing which dislike the most is mileage, not crossing 35-36 kmpl in any condition. Gear shifting and vibrations are big problem.

Best Features: Looks

Pros: Looks

Cons: Mileage

Pros :- 1. Good for city riding. Good commuter bike. 2. Comfortable to sit than most sport bike on same range for both rider and pillion. 3. Max speed - approximately 90 kmph 4. Pick up is good but not great. 5. Exhaust noise :- awesome Cons :- 1. Mileage :- 40 kmpl (normal riding without trying to get good mileage) 2. Weight :- The bike is definitely heavy 3. Fuel Gauge :- Unreliable Getting a better seat cover can lower the vibrations above 60 kmph. Servicing on time brought me no problem till date.

Best Features: Exhaust Sound

Pros: Styling

Cons: Unreliable Fuel Meter

This is the main issue as I noticed on this bike. The seating must have been much better at the rear and the handlebar should be little short for about 1inch on both sides.

Best Features: Console

Pros: Engine sound

Cons: Seating and handle bar, which is quite lengthy

Initially, the performance was good but, I always felt that in its last gear i.e in 5th gear, it seems as if the bike wants 1 more gear. There is a vibration sort of feeling that you will get when on 5th gear. Its not always but most of the time. Also, the person sitting back will feel as if he is sliding backward. Now the worst part and I have confirmed it with at least 10 random users. The bike will shut down at any point in time. In the morning when I start my bike, it will definitely get switched off. From gear 1st to 2nd, it will get switch off mostly and from 4th to 5th gear, it will switch off. I have been facing this problem right from initial days. I have tried many times to get it fixed but nothing could be done to date. This particular problem will really make you upset as your bike will switch off when you are at a particular pace. I had never ever thought that a company like BAJAJ will deliver such a pathetic bike and will cheat everyone emotionally by branding it as a part of Vikrant.

Best Features: Now I don't like any of its feature

Pros: The look is quite good

Cons: It's performance

Mileage is important to all customers. Company says the mileage falls between 40-45 kmpl in city but when we ride it's just 32-35 only. It never crossed 38 kmpl on highway.

1. NO SERVICE PERSON ACTUALLY COMPETENT TO PROVIDE THE ACTUAL DETAILS. 2. THE MANUAL PROVIDED IS OF V-15 INSTEAD OF V-12, SO ITS CONFUSING THE DETAILS, DOESN'T MATCH THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOUND ON THE VEHICLE. 3. THE BACKREST IS DESPERATELY MUST IT WHICH IS ABSENT. 4. AS OF SEAT DESIGN, THERE IS A BIG GAP BETWEEN SEAT AND THE BACKRAIL WHICH IS A DISCOMFORT. 5. FUEL GUAGE INDICATOR IS AFAULTY IT GIVES VARIABLE READING AT SLANT AND SLOPES. WHICH IS MISLEADING TO MEASURE THE FUEL IN THE TANK WHICH IS MISLEADING TO THE AVERAGE MEANS THE MILEAGE TRACKING. 6. THE PETROL COCK IS NOT EFFICIENT ONE. IT DOESN'T GIVES THE SIGNAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GONE TO THE RESERVED FUEL MODE. 7. THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS NOT FOUND STABLE, IT CHANGES THE ANGLE AUTOMATICALLY. 8. ALSO IT GIVES A LOT OF SOUND IN GEAR SHIFTING (BOTH WAYS). 9. VIBRATIONS ARE MUCH MORE.

Best Features: THE LOOK IS AWESOME.

Pros: LOOKS, THE WAY IT STICK TO THE ROAD.

Cons: BACK SEAT DESIGN IS SLIGHTLY TILTED AND THE GRABRAIL PROVIDED IS VERY SHORT WHICH GIVES A DISCOMFORT. ITS NOT RECOMMENDABLE & ACCEPTABLE FROM BAJAJ FOR A FAMILY.

The people who are writing in review that it does not have good pick up so i want to tell you that you are wrong its true that it does not make pick up in morning but after riding regularly upto 15 to 20 min the engine get heated up and change into a beast the i dont like is not digital metre and engine kill switch and hard gear shift only rear brake sound

Cons: Engine kill switch is not available and rear brake is making a sound in winters on morning, hard gear shift

Recently i have met a small accident when i am riding this bike Bajaj V15 , not hurting my self too much but I was shocked when went to a garage . The mechanic position the leg guard with his bare hand and not only that a tap was found on right side of the tank though i fell with bike on left side .. i came to know next day that the tap on tank was happen by my right knee since my right knee was hurting little next day and there are not scratches on the tap. on handbook it is written that kerb weight is 135.5 kg but this bike more weighed than bajaj pulser 150 , i think company should concentrate on hardness quality of this product . I bound to say that the invincible metal is softer than my bone.

Best Features: All of bike is worst

Worst Experience @ Begumpet, Hyderabad Show Room, Only cares till we get the Bike. No one cares after that. Took money for registration. After several days when i checked the status, they give one agent number. That Agent gives some other Agent number. After Several Days, the agent tells I don't have any documents. Go and collect from show room and give it to me. And then he says he will book the slot. I don't understand what is the point of customer being wasting time calling all these agents and show room numbers which they don't pick. I will never buy any bike from Bajaj again and will never recommend any one.

Best Features: None None None

Pros: None None None

Cons: Everything about Customer Satisfaction

1) Poor Pickup - On any gear it doesn't feel like a 150cc bike (not even close to a 110cc bike). 2) Gear Shifting Problem - sometimes gears doesn't shift well and they make disgusting noise when changing. 3) Exhaust Sound (Beating) - The beating which is there for the initial two days is completely changed and now it sounds like a bike which is 5 years old. Completed disgusting and annoying. It is not the original beating like when it was new. 4) Engine - Every time when you raise the bike on any gear there seems to be a annoying sound from the engine which is not so audible (you have to observe it carefully). I can easily say that this engine not for long lasting. Hardly it will last for two years.

Best Features: Only looks good

Pros: Look good, Mileage is good 45-50kmpl

Cons: Very bad pick up. Gear shift problem a major concern. Engine getting heated very soon feels like it will burn your foot. Sound change after 10 days fo purchase, Front disk brake sound issues.
