Bajaj V's instrument cluster comes with a colour changing LED petrol gauge and indication of red when petrol is nearing end. Rear seat cowl for option to ride single. Masculine graphics, LED tail lamp, a thunderous exhaust, and many more.
The Hero Glamour comes with dual tone graphics, body coloured rear view mirrors, semi-digital instrument cluster with real time mileage indicator.

Verdict
Bajaj could be creating a new segment and is thirsty for the market share in the 110cc to 125cc motorcycles, and is probably looking to V to deliver the required push which is very sporty and could add to the imagination of the executive commuters. The Glamour is a tried and tested model and has great followers due to Hero's legacy in mileage of commuter bikes.
