My 1st bike bajaj v12. Having great experience. The price of this bike is similar to the other 125cc commuters. But this bike give you the premium look. The riding quality and riding position of this bike is best. While riding this bike i feel like, i am the king of road. At low price you have great experience. The looks of this bike is awesome. Easily catches the eyes of public. The butterfly shape headlight, muscular tank, tail-lamp and stylish backrest make this bike look wonderful. Till now i have not face any issue regarding service of this bike. This bike maintenance is bit high. As the parts of this bike is not easily available in the local market. Cons - bajaj should have given tubeless grip tyre, engine vibration issue and gear shift should be smoother. Else everything is great.

Tips for Bajaj V12

Use different brand engine oil for better performance.

    A good bike, light in weight, good power125cc, DLR, 45 to 50 km/l, with fuel level indicator and gear and neutral position indicator.

  • Unique & limited edition one of a kind bike. You will fall in love.

    It's a mini bullet. It sounds very very good, you can feel it's beats when you ride, like bullet. Actually, I was planning for bullet but finally ended up with v12, which was a perfect decision for me. That's why I have started the review with this comparison. The bike is so so beautiful, it's one of a kind bike, and icing over the cake is it no more in production, that means limited edition bike made with vikrant's metal, our Indian pride. Rest the bikes design and comfort is awesome.

    I have a bajaj v12 bike from january 2018.Superb bike for city rides and long tour's.First thing , it is not sport bike u can say it bullet. Best sound heavy bike, speed. When you will run it feels like awesome.I love my bike. Average is also very good service charges very less. If you want a bike with low budget u can choose it but remember it's like cruise bike so don't compare with any other sports bike.

  • Its just love!!!!

    Harish Ahire

    If you are looking for a bike which is compatible for every ride...Then this is the one... Ride it on highway... City...Or off road. It'll stand aggressively.. Looks are damn good as it has great torque in 125cc segment. Mileage is about 52-55 kmpl in city and on highway 58-60 kmpl approximately. Great comfort no back pain. I've driven her from mumbai to banglore in two days around 800km. Seriously no aching in my arms. Feeling lucky to have her in my garage.. Love her.

    The bike very good in every aspects. Their is no problem at all. Good mileage, performance, grip, weight etc. Fulfill every criteria for a customer. The engine sounds and the exhaust sound is much more like ( bullet )royal enfield. You have to do servicing timely for good mileage. Enjoy this amazing experience now.

  • Don't by v12 &v15

    Dany Krishan

    I recommend to do not by v12 and v15. I have faced issues of engine,chain chakkar, self start etc. Common problems like oil leakage from engine,chain sound,engine vibration and sound, jerk from engine is found in all vikrant bikes. I self experienced at service center.If we purchase bajaj bikes we need to replace most of parts of bikes within 2 years, so it's too expensive for us.

  • Beauty with no brains

    5 years ago


    Ankit Dhasmana

    I have been riding this bike for more than two years. Before buying, please consider my review, it will be helpful for you all. i have completed 22000 plus kms in this bike. I got attracted with its looks which is totally different than other 125cc bikes in the market. So, i bought it. Its beautiful, muscular and unique. Definitely, it has eye catching looks. And then there is ins vikrant legacy. I must say bajaj made a fool of the people in the name of vikrant. I am going to divide my review in two parts - positives and negatives. First, positive aspects of the bike : 1. Riding position is very comfortable. 2. Suspension for rider is good for small bumps, normal bad roads. 3. Wider tyre gives good stability on the roads. 4. Unique design, eye catching. 5. Also bassy sound gives a different identity to this bike.Now, negative aspects of the bike: 1. Poor, horrible and pathetic torque, just pathetic, you can not overtake in dense traffic conditions, poorer than other 125cc or 110cc bikes. 2. So much vibration, whether its in low rpm or high rpm, lot of vibration, after 60 kmph, it vibrates like hell, forget riding with pillion. 3. Poor drum brakes, front suspension is poor, even rear suspension is not good at all and no tubeless tyres. 4. Forget riding with pillion, worst pillion seat. Super uncomfortable, narrow and pillion tends to slide down while sitting, pillion have to feel each and every little bump on the road while sitting. Its horrible seat. 5. Poor mileage, 40-45 kmph. 6. Rear suspension makes you feel that air pressure tyre is low, sometimes you feel rear tyre is skidding but not, its just pathetic arrangement of parts in this bike. 7. Poor headlight, poor brake pads and engine oil works for 1500-1800 km only, after then you feel performance declines. Final verdict, don't buy this bike.

  • Getting this bike is pain inside your head - mental torture everyday

    5 years ago


    Rajiv Gandhi

    1.At first look, you may be persuaded by its look, beat sound similar to bullet. Hence i bought without considering the previous reviews2.My riding experience became worst within a month. After reaching office, if i leave the bike idle till evening and self start/kick start in the evening, i will not be able to do it without pulling of the choke. - so bike has starting trouble issue all 364 days 3.During night time, you cannot see what is in front of you even with high beam on due to the fact of headlight design. In frustration i took my wife's scooty for a week. I found amazingly clearer road view during night.During one of my long drive i drove on a bad road which has many pitfalls and because of this poor illumination i almost not missed all the pitfalls. - so very poor headlamp lighting will there for all 364 days 4.Very important issue is i raised 10 times complaints and it has never been solved is the gear issue. Interestingly the senior mechanic gave a feedback that no rider will do. I must release clutch each time while bringing down the gear to neutral. Most of time i end up stuck in traffic or high rise to gear lever not sitting properly. - so very very poor gear handling for all 364 days. 5.Surprisingly within 3 months of buying, battery failure happened twice. Fortunately i was covered with warranty - so battery issue for 90 days 6.Even if you remove the back seat cover and convert it to single rider drive to pillion rider drive, the pillion rider will have to grab the driver tightly in order to avoid falling down. - so poor seating design 7.And at last if you accommodate the pillion rider, in speed breakers or pitfalls you can hear the rear suspension colliding each other. At first you may think there is insufficient air in rear wheel. But it is due to poor suspension 8.Handle bar is twisted a little further towards the rider. So in city traffics your wrist and palm may give a bitter pain to handle the bike weight. If you still decided to buy this bike, good luck with the all the pain areas stated above.

Actually, I was planning for bullet but finally ended up with v12, which was a perfect decision for me. That's why I have started the review with this comparison. The bike is so so beautiful, it's one of a kind bike, and icing over the cake is it no more in production, that means limited edition bike made with vikrant's metal, our Indian pride. Rest the bikes design and comfort is awesome.

    I have a bajaj v12 bike from january 2018.Superb bike for city rides and long tour's.First thing , it is not sport bike u can say it bullet. Best sound heavy bike, speed. When you will run it feels like awesome.I love my bike. Average is also very good service charges very less. If you want a bike with low budget u can choose it but remember it's like cruise bike so don't compare with any other sports bike.

  • Its just love!!!!

    4 years ago


    Harish Ahire

    If you are looking for a bike which is compatible for every ride...Then this is the one... Ride it on highway... City...Or off road. It'll stand aggressively.. Looks are damn good as it has great torque in 125cc segment. Mileage is about 52-55 kmpl in city and on highway 58-60 kmpl approximately. Great comfort no back pain. I've driven her from mumbai to banglore in two days around 800km. Seriously no aching in my arms. Feeling lucky to have her in my garage.. Love her.

    The bike very good in every aspects. Their is no problem at all. Good mileage, performance, grip, weight etc. Fulfill every criteria for a customer. The engine sounds and the exhaust sound is much more like ( bullet )royal enfield. You have to do servicing timely for good mileage. Enjoy this amazing experience now.

    Dany Krishan

    I recommend to do not by v12 and v15. I have faced issues of engine,chain chakkar, self start etc. Common problems like oil leakage from engine,chain sound,engine vibration and sound, jerk from engine is found in all vikrant bikes. I self experienced at service center.If we purchase bajaj bikes we need to replace most of parts of bikes within 2 years, so it's too expensive for us.

  • Beauty with no brains

    5 years ago


    Ankit Dhasmana

    I have been riding this bike for more than two years. Before buying, please consider my review, it will be helpful for you all. i have completed 22000 plus kms in this bike. I got attracted with its looks which is totally different than other 125cc bikes in the market. So, i bought it. Its beautiful, muscular and unique. Definitely, it has eye catching looks. And then there is ins vikrant legacy. I must say bajaj made a fool of the people in the name of vikrant. I am going to divide my review in two parts - positives and negatives. First, positive aspects of the bike : 1. Riding position is very comfortable. 2. Suspension for rider is good for small bumps, normal bad roads. 3. Wider tyre gives good stability on the roads. 4. Unique design, eye catching. 5. Also bassy sound gives a different identity to this bike.Now, negative aspects of the bike: 1. Poor, horrible and pathetic torque, just pathetic, you can not overtake in dense traffic conditions, poorer than other 125cc or 110cc bikes. 2. So much vibration, whether its in low rpm or high rpm, lot of vibration, after 60 kmph, it vibrates like hell, forget riding with pillion. 3. Poor drum brakes, front suspension is poor, even rear suspension is not good at all and no tubeless tyres. 4. Forget riding with pillion, worst pillion seat. Super uncomfortable, narrow and pillion tends to slide down while sitting, pillion have to feel each and every little bump on the road while sitting. Its horrible seat. 5. Poor mileage, 40-45 kmph. 6. Rear suspension makes you feel that air pressure tyre is low, sometimes you feel rear tyre is skidding but not, its just pathetic arrangement of parts in this bike. 7. Poor headlight, poor brake pads and engine oil works for 1500-1800 km only, after then you feel performance declines. Final verdict, don't buy this bike.

  • Getting this bike is pain inside your head - mental torture everyday

    5 years ago


    Rajiv Gandhi

    1.At first look, you may be persuaded by its look, beat sound similar to bullet. Hence i bought without considering the previous reviews2.My riding experience became worst within a month. After reaching office, if i leave the bike idle till evening and self start/kick start in the evening, i will not be able to do it without pulling of the choke. - so bike has starting trouble issue all 364 days 3.During night time, you cannot see what is in front of you even with high beam on due to the fact of headlight design. In frustration i took my wife's scooty for a week. I found amazingly clearer road view during night.During one of my long drive i drove on a bad road which has many pitfalls and because of this poor illumination i almost not missed all the pitfalls. - so very poor headlamp lighting will there for all 364 days 4.Very important issue is i raised 10 times complaints and it has never been solved is the gear issue. Interestingly the senior mechanic gave a feedback that no rider will do. I must release clutch each time while bringing down the gear to neutral. Most of time i end up stuck in traffic or high rise to gear lever not sitting properly. - so very very poor gear handling for all 364 days. 5.Surprisingly within 3 months of buying, battery failure happened twice. Fortunately i was covered with warranty - so battery issue for 90 days 6.Even if you remove the back seat cover and convert it to single rider drive to pillion rider drive, the pillion rider will have to grab the driver tightly in order to avoid falling down. - so poor seating design 7.And at last if you accommodate the pillion rider, in speed breakers or pitfalls you can hear the rear suspension colliding each other. At first you may think there is insufficient air in rear wheel. But it is due to poor suspension 8.Handle bar is twisted a little further towards the rider. So in city traffics your wrist and palm may give a bitter pain to handle the bike weight. If you still decided to buy this bike, good luck with the all the pain areas stated above.

    A good bike, light in weight, good power125cc, DLR, 45 to 50 km/l, with fuel level indicator and gear and neutral position indicator. Ideal for college students and office-going and factory workers. Easy maintenance, ride comfort with broad seat. No problem experienced so far. Getting good service by Bajaj workshops. Getting reliable spares through dealerships with affordable pricing for spares and service.
