What are you looking for?
a mileage bike? then go for splendor, saluto or any other 100-125cc bike.
A stylish and speedy bike? then go for fz, pulsar, gixxer etc.
Bajaj v15 is the intermediate between mileage and style.
Even though it has 5 gears, the 5th gear behaves like 4th gear (or 4.5Th).
Maximum speed you can achieve without vibrations is 55kmph.
Why i bought this bike?
1) i don't need a good speed. Even if you give me duke 390, my average speed would be 45kmph.
2) I wanted good mileage. May be above 60 kmpl. But if i can get a good looking bike which gives 50-55kmpl, i would go for it.
3) Looks are better than splendor/passion/saluto etc even though performance is almost the same. So by spending rs. 5000-10000 Extra, if i can get a good looking bike, i would go for it.
4) Parts of bajaj bikes are cheaper. So many people advised me to go for bajaj. But i've also heard that maintenance issues occur frequently in bajaj bikes. (Didn't experience yet).
5) On road cost in goa in august 2016 was around 72k which i could afford.
So if you are not a speedster and want a good looking bike with intermediate mileage, go for v15. Otherwise go for any other bike depending on your needs.
