Bajaj plans to expand V Series; comes bearing the legacy of INS Vikrant

Bajaj Motorcycles has created quite a sensation with its V15 motorcycle. The V15 150 cc executive commuter was launched with much pomp. Now the two wheeler maker plans to expand the V series lineup with two new models. After the 150 cc V15, now the new models might come as a 200 cc V20 and a 400 cc V400. Not to be mentioned, all these motorcycles will come bearing the legacy of INS Vikrant.

The Bajaj V15 was built with the metal salvaged from India’s much celebrated aircraft carrier INS Vikrant. The fuel tank and other metal parts of the motorcycle have been built with the metal from INS Vikrant. The V15 has received such immense popularity and positive response, which gave the company confidence to introduce a 200 cc and even a 400 cc motorcycle in the V series.
