As per the latest speculations, Bajaj V will soon see an expansion in its lineup with the manufacturer working on a smaller V12 model (V125) for the popular commuter sport series, reports MotorOctane. The upcoming 125cc motorcycle will rival the current market leaders namely Honda Shine and Hero Glamour.

125cc Commuter Bajaj V12 in the Works?
The V series will keep its tag of being a premium commuter alive with the newcomer, most probably sharing the same design language as the V15. Made out of the metal of INS Vikrant, the V series carries patriotic essence, targeting large number of buyers through its effective presentation. V12 would be placed within the 50k range, making it even more effective than the 150cc cousin.
The motorcycle is expected to be powered by a 124.6 cc, 1-cylinder engine from Discover series, producing 10.9 BHP and 10.8 Nm of torque. It will use a 5-speed gearbox while the engine will be updated to meet the BS4 regulations. It can even carry the name V125 while the pricing is expected to stay under INR 55,000.
