Bajaj Auto has launched its much awaited Bajaj V15 motorcycle in India priced at Rs. 62,000 ex-showroom, Delhi. The bike was showcased earlier this month before the Auto Expo 2016 in Delhi. Those who waited patiently for the launch can book the bike from their nearest dealership with a booking amount of Rs 5000.
