Design and Styling: The Honda CB Unicorn 150 is already a successful product in the market, which has been relaunched recently at the 2016 Auto Expo. The bike provides a decent riding experience in city conditions and looks premium as well. However, the new Bajaj V15 has even better ergonomics and a unique classic styling that will be surely noticed on the roads. The V15 also gets some first-in-segment features like a removable pillion seat cowl and a meaty 120/80 section rear tyre that makes it even more appealing.

Engine and Performance: Both the Bajaj V15 and the Honda CB Unicorn 150 are powered by similar 150cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motors. The performance on both bikes similar and are tuned for city commuting. The V15 has a much throaty exhaust note as compared to the Unicorn 150's silent ride. Both can do a top speed over 100kmph.
