A lot has been said and done about the Bajaj V15, the 150cc motorcycle that happens to have a strong association with the INS Vikrant, India's first aircraft carrier. While the Vikrant's metal was used to build the V15, the actual motorcycle has little resemblance to the warship. Nevertheless, the folks at Eimor customs from Hyderabad wanted to make the association a bit more evident and as a result, have created this one-off V15 that quite rightly captures the essence of the battleship. Hyderabad based Eimor Customs have taken up the customisation job on the V15 Eimor has painted the Bajaj V15 in a shade of Battlefield Grey shade, which actually looks like it is made out sheets of metal welded together. The chassis and engine have been painted black to match the new colour scheme, and are intended to resemble the underbelly of the ship. The attention to detail is impressive as the guys have given rust spots on the surface to lend an authentic look to the paint scheme, while the front mudguard features the 'R11' moniker that pays tribute to the actual number of the ship flanked by the Indian tri-colour at the side. The fuel tank has been airbrushed on the custom made V15 and depicts the INS Vikrant The name of the ship and its tenure of service in the Navy have been etched on the sides of the Bajaj V15 that comes along with V crest resting on the fuel tank. What really is stellar though is the custom airbrush painting on the fuel tank that showcases the aerial view of the Vikrant, complete with aircrafts on deck. Lastly, the custom V15 gets finished with 'The Invincible' badging on the tail section that really sums up the the warship's stand in the Indian naval force. Attention to details is impressive on the custom V15. Notice the rust spots? Mechanically though, the Bajaj V15 receives no changes and continues to draw power from a 149.5cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that is tuned to churn out 11bhp of power at 7500rpm and 13Nm of peak torque at 5500rpm. The motor is paired to a 5-speed gearbox. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear, while braking performance comes from a front disc and rear drum brake setup. Launched earlier this year, the V15 is priced at Rs. 61,999 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the stock version. (This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
