Expert Reviews on Bajaj V12

Our previous comparison test between the CB Shine SP and the V15 gave us a prime example of how small commuter bikes have started punching above their weight. This time around, the CB Shine SP must prove its mettle against a more direct rival - the V12 Disc.

The Bajaj V12 has an interesting recipe - the eye-catchy and successful styling of the V15 combined with a smaller and efficient 125cc mill at its heart. 

While the Bajaj V15 has had a good run, the mental block among customers that a 150cc motorcycle is more performance-oriented and less fuel efficient than a 125cc bike has given Bajaj’s rivals an edge. To counter this, Bajaj introduced the V12 to slot in between the Discover 125 and the V15. While the Discover 125 is a conservative and no-frills motorcycle, the V12 is targeted at customers looking for something which stands out.
