The bike is very comfortable and stable while riding in high speeds or cornering, the slipper clutch works perfectly while downshifting in speed which prevents the locking of the tire, bike gets insane power in top gears, the sitting posture is correct. you can also gets an option to adjust the handle, it's an awesome bike go for it without any hesitation.

Review of Bajaj Dominar 250 after riding 6000+ km in City+Highway
1 year ago
Zubair
I bought my Bajaj Dominar 250 on 1Jan2023 and my Buying Experience with my bike is very impressive through Sudhanshu Motors, Bharthana.
Talking about the riding experience, the posture for riding this bike is very comfortable never feel any body pain, I was riding this maximum of 350 km in a day but didn't feel any physical pain in my body
The details and fit finish is very generous and impressive.
The looks of this bike are so aggressive and of course, it's a head-turner bike, and bajaj doesn't make any lacking in performance in this bike
It gives you real power 250cc engine bike never feel compromised about this
Service is decent not so good.
In talking about maintenance of this bike you have to compromise with her mileage in starting but after riding this upto 6000 km the mileage output is something about 30 kmpl in the city but in creating that's hilarious it's just 20-24kmpl😂
Let's talk about in points for pros and cons
Pros:
Excellent power output
Comfortable riding posture (recommend for guys height above 5'7 feet)
Low maintenance So far
Cons:
Low mileage in this segment of 250cc bike
Not for city or market due to heavy weight (something about 200+ with full tank fuel)
High turning radius
Need to improve in features (like gear position indicator, Bluetooth, or charging sockets)
Thank you

Best touring bike under 2 lakhs
2 years ago
Supratim Ojha
The price in Kolkata is around 196000. For touring this is the best budget bike, all accessories are available online/local market/bajaj store. Riding the bike on the highway is very joyful, its sound makes me happy. It looks like a big hulk from the front. Servicing at 5000 km, engine oil change at 10000 km. Mileage around 37km/l.One negative issue is the city traffic heating issue. Overall best touring bike on a budget.

My love is dominar 250
3 years ago
Praveen
The look of Dominar 250 is a huge difference from other bikes. It has a good engine and is a budget tourer machine. Soon I will own my Dominar 250. One of the best head lights has been provided in the Dominar 250.. The rear tyre should be better for cornering experience. Hope the next upgrade Bajaj will provide it, and Bajaj has given the gear position indicator which is cool.

You should change the tyre after you buy the bike coz it has 130 section tyre on the rear and you should upgrade it to 140 or 150 for better cornering experience.

Bajaj Dominar 250 review
2 years ago
Srinidhi
A complete all-rounder package. I have rode this bike for about 10000kms now .Not even once i felt its lacking in any place.
The bike has enough power for the highways and also enough low end torque for occasional off roads. The seating is also very comfortable for long rides. We can cruise easily around 100-115 on highways.

Dominar 250
2 years ago
Sreeram Prasad
Dominar 250 is an amazing superbike in the 250 series. Value for money. When looking at other 250series bikes dominar gives an extraordinary experience.The price of this bike is not high when we look into its performance. Don't think that bike is not good before the first service. After one or two services we can see the real beast.

A. Sunny
At this price point the D250 is among the cheapest 250cc motorcycle that money can buy, with only the Yamaha FZ25 undercutting it on price.
For the money, the D250 offers enough real-world performance, bundled with a comfortable ride and confident handling. As a package, the Dominar 250 is excellent value and when you come to think of it, the Dominar has always been known to be just that.
I LOVE THIS BIKE.

“Dominar 250: My Unwavering Choice”
29 weeks ago
Rahul
In Pursuit of Dominance: My Journey with the Dominar
* The buying experience largely depends on the dealership and your interaction with them
* The riding experience is “so good as butter.” But a riding glove is advisable and mild vibrations are felt at specific speeds & RPM
* The Dominar 250 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride, both on highways and in the city
* While it may not have the sharp aesthetics of some other bikes (like KTM), the Dominar still looks cool.
* Servicing and maintenance depend on the service center you choose. Choose a reliable service center. Always refer to the owner’s manual for service details. Cross-check the services performed on your vehicle.
* Bajaj’s separate service personnel for Dominar bikes are commendable.
* However, if the experienced Dominar service staff are unavailable (due to leave or other reasons), it can be challenging. Minor issues during servicing are common across brands. The same applies here as well
Pros:
Weight and Stability:
* Feeling the weight initially is normal, but you’ll get used to it.
* The Dominar’s weight contributes to stability on highways.
* Those who dismiss the bike due to its weight might miss out on a hidden gem.
Weight-Performance Balance:
* Despite its weight, the Dominar 250 performs admirably.
* The bike’s weight doesn’t hinder its overall performance, which is a positive aspect.
Side View Mirror:
* Well-designed mirrors enhance safety and convenience.
Riding Position and Exhaust Note:
* The stock-raised handlebars and riding position contribute to rider comfort.
* The exhaust note, particularly in lower gears and at idle is a beautiful rhythm.
* Even if you don’t consciously notice it during city rides, pillion will appreciate it.
For a biker, it makes their day awesome!
Moderate Electronics:
* If you prefer a bike with fewer electronics like me, the Dominar 250 fits the bill.
* It features dual-channel ABS and an ECU, striking a balance between technology and simplicity.
* Unlike KTM bikes, it doesn’t overwhelm with excessive electronic aids.
Headlight:
* The Dominar 250 comes equipped with a powerful headlight that provides excellent illumination and is sufficient for most riding conditions.
* Unless you’re venturing into extreme foggy areas in Himalayan regions, additional lighting modifications are unnecessary as white headlight in snow doesn’t make sense there.
Cons:
Rear Tyre Profile:
* Comparing the Dominar 250 to other bikes in the same segment or Yamaha’s 150cc bikes, the rear tire profile is smaller.
* While you may not notice this during regular riding, some riders experience cornering issues.
* Keep in mind that tire conditions play a role, and upgrading beyond the manufacturer’s recommended size isn’t advisable.
* Manufacturers have dedicated R&D teams who understand what’s best for the vehicle.
Parking and Turning Radius:
* Manoeuvring in tight spaces can be challenging due to the high turning radius.
* Not a daily issue but worth noting.
Windshield and mobile charger Absence:
* Excessive wind can be tiring during long rides.
* If you prefer the stock visor from the Dominar 400 Adventure Kit, it’s a good choice compared to aftermarket options.
* At least the mobile charger could’ve been included as this is a sports tourer bike.
Rear Brakes:
* Rear brakes might feel spongy.
* While some sponginess is common in heavy bikes, Bajaj should definitely improve rear breaking in future models
* Skilled riders often use a combination of engine braking and both front and rear brakes for effective stopping. so, act like a pro!
Ground Clearance:
*Ground clearance is subjective and depends on individual riding styles and preferences.
*Personally found it adequate, even during mild off-road rides.
* The bike’s built-in protection helps prevent any exceptional significant hits to the underbody.
On my journey from Coimbatore to Hyderabad & vice versa, I was 101% satisfied with it. Before selecting D250, I test-drove Gixxer 250, vstorm 250, and fz 25 were not available at that time, as Hunter, Himalayan 411, 450, and Scram 411. But the Dominar 250 stood out. Its performance, comfort, design, and versatility convinced me—it’s the one. It might be subjective. Have a comparison and go on your preference. Join the Dominar Clan and let the road be your canvas!

Tips for other riders
Do periodic maintenance by visiting authorised service centre. Do chain lube once every 500 kms/ after rain. As Bajaj's recommended engine oil change frequency is every 10000 kms. It's better to change it after a very long continuous ride of 3000 - 4000 kms or every 5000-6000. Check for the level of engine oil, if it's low just get 2x100 ml of oil from auth.spares and top up it. (check it once in 4 months/ before/ after long rides). Don't wait until fuel indicator die, refuel when it comes between 2 points - when it starts blinking. That's it, the "Dominance of Dominar will last longer!"

Review of Bajaj Dominar 250 after riding 6000+ km in City+Highway
1 year ago
Zubair
I bought my Bajaj Dominar 250 on 1Jan2023 and my Buying Experience with my bike is very impressive through Sudhanshu Motors, Bharthana.
Talking about the riding experience, the posture for riding this bike is very comfortable never feel any body pain, I was riding this maximum of 350 km in a day but didn't feel any physical pain in my body
The details and fit finish is very generous and impressive.
The looks of this bike are so aggressive and of course, it's a head-turner bike, and bajaj doesn't make any lacking in performance in this bike
It gives you real power 250cc engine bike never feel compromised about this
Service is decent not so good.
In talking about maintenance of this bike you have to compromise with her mileage in starting but after riding this upto 6000 km the mileage output is something about 30 kmpl in the city but in creating that's hilarious it's just 20-24kmpl😂
Let's talk about in points for pros and cons
Pros:
Excellent power output
Comfortable riding posture (recommend for guys height above 5'7 feet)
Low maintenance So far
Cons:
Low mileage in this segment of 250cc bike
Not for city or market due to heavy weight (something about 200+ with full tank fuel)
High turning radius
Need to improve in features (like gear position indicator, Bluetooth, or charging sockets)
Thank you

Best touring bike under 2 lakhs
2 years ago
Supratim Ojha
The price in Kolkata is around 196000. For touring this is the best budget bike, all accessories are available online/local market/bajaj store. Riding the bike on the highway is very joyful, its sound makes me happy. It looks like a big hulk from the front. Servicing at 5000 km, engine oil change at 10000 km. Mileage around 37km/l.One negative issue is the city traffic heating issue. Overall best touring bike on a budget.

My love is dominar 250
3 years ago
Praveen
The look of Dominar 250 is a huge difference from other bikes. It has a good engine and is a budget tourer machine. Soon I will own my Dominar 250. One of the best head lights has been provided in the Dominar 250.. The rear tyre should be better for cornering experience. Hope the next upgrade Bajaj will provide it, and Bajaj has given the gear position indicator which is cool.

You should change the tyre after you buy the bike coz it has 130 section tyre on the rear and you should upgrade it to 140 or 150 for better cornering experience.

Bajaj Dominar 250 review
2 years ago
Srinidhi
A complete all-rounder package. I have rode this bike for about 10000kms now .Not even once i felt its lacking in any place.
The bike has enough power for the highways and also enough low end torque for occasional off roads. The seating is also very comfortable for long rides. We can cruise easily around 100-115 on highways.

Dominar 250
2 years ago
Sreeram Prasad
Dominar 250 is an amazing superbike in the 250 series. Value for money. When looking at other 250series bikes dominar gives an extraordinary experience.The price of this bike is not high when we look into its performance. Don't think that bike is not good before the first service. After one or two services we can see the real beast.

At this price point the D250 is among the cheapest 250cc motorcycle that money can buy, with only the Yamaha FZ25 undercutting it on price.
For the money, the D250 offers enough real-world performance, bundled with a comfortable ride and confident handling. As a package, the Dominar 250 is excellent value and when you come to think of it, the Dominar has always been known to be just that.
I LOVE THIS BIKE.

“Dominar 250: My Unwavering Choice”
29 weeks ago
Rahul
In Pursuit of Dominance: My Journey with the Dominar
* The buying experience largely depends on the dealership and your interaction with them
* The riding experience is “so good as butter.” But a riding glove is advisable and mild vibrations are felt at specific speeds & RPM
* The Dominar 250 offers a smooth and enjoyable ride, both on highways and in the city
* While it may not have the sharp aesthetics of some other bikes (like KTM), the Dominar still looks cool.
* Servicing and maintenance depend on the service center you choose. Choose a reliable service center. Always refer to the owner’s manual for service details. Cross-check the services performed on your vehicle.
* Bajaj’s separate service personnel for Dominar bikes are commendable.
* However, if the experienced Dominar service staff are unavailable (due to leave or other reasons), it can be challenging. Minor issues during servicing are common across brands. The same applies here as well
Pros:
Weight and Stability:
* Feeling the weight initially is normal, but you’ll get used to it.
* The Dominar’s weight contributes to stability on highways.
* Those who dismiss the bike due to its weight might miss out on a hidden gem.
Weight-Performance Balance:
* Despite its weight, the Dominar 250 performs admirably.
* The bike’s weight doesn’t hinder its overall performance, which is a positive aspect.
Side View Mirror:
* Well-designed mirrors enhance safety and convenience.
Riding Position and Exhaust Note:
* The stock-raised handlebars and riding position contribute to rider comfort.
* The exhaust note, particularly in lower gears and at idle is a beautiful rhythm.
* Even if you don’t consciously notice it during city rides, pillion will appreciate it.
For a biker, it makes their day awesome!
Moderate Electronics:
* If you prefer a bike with fewer electronics like me, the Dominar 250 fits the bill.
* It features dual-channel ABS and an ECU, striking a balance between technology and simplicity.
* Unlike KTM bikes, it doesn’t overwhelm with excessive electronic aids.
Headlight:
* The Dominar 250 comes equipped with a powerful headlight that provides excellent illumination and is sufficient for most riding conditions.
* Unless you’re venturing into extreme foggy areas in Himalayan regions, additional lighting modifications are unnecessary as white headlight in snow doesn’t make sense there.
Cons:
Rear Tyre Profile:
* Comparing the Dominar 250 to other bikes in the same segment or Yamaha’s 150cc bikes, the rear tire profile is smaller.
* While you may not notice this during regular riding, some riders experience cornering issues.
* Keep in mind that tire conditions play a role, and upgrading beyond the manufacturer’s recommended size isn’t advisable.
* Manufacturers have dedicated R&D teams who understand what’s best for the vehicle.
Parking and Turning Radius:
* Manoeuvring in tight spaces can be challenging due to the high turning radius.
* Not a daily issue but worth noting.
Windshield and mobile charger Absence:
* Excessive wind can be tiring during long rides.
* If you prefer the stock visor from the Dominar 400 Adventure Kit, it’s a good choice compared to aftermarket options.
* At least the mobile charger could’ve been included as this is a sports tourer bike.
Rear Brakes:
* Rear brakes might feel spongy.
* While some sponginess is common in heavy bikes, Bajaj should definitely improve rear breaking in future models
* Skilled riders often use a combination of engine braking and both front and rear brakes for effective stopping. so, act like a pro!
Ground Clearance:
*Ground clearance is subjective and depends on individual riding styles and preferences.
*Personally found it adequate, even during mild off-road rides.
* The bike’s built-in protection helps prevent any exceptional significant hits to the underbody.
On my journey from Coimbatore to Hyderabad & vice versa, I was 101% satisfied with it. Before selecting D250, I test-drove Gixxer 250, vstorm 250, and fz 25 were not available at that time, as Hunter, Himalayan 411, 450, and Scram 411. But the Dominar 250 stood out. Its performance, comfort, design, and versatility convinced me—it’s the one. It might be subjective. Have a comparison and go on your preference. Join the Dominar Clan and let the road be your canvas!

Tips for other riders
Do periodic maintenance by visiting authorised service centre. Do chain lube once every 500 kms/ after rain. As Bajaj's recommended engine oil change frequency is every 10000 kms. It's better to change it after a very long continuous ride of 3000 - 4000 kms or every 5000-6000. Check for the level of engine oil, if it's low just get 2x100 ml of oil from auth.spares and top up it. (check it once in 4 months/ before/ after long rides). Don't wait until fuel indicator die, refuel when it comes between 2 points - when it starts blinking. That's it, the "Dominance of Dominar will last longer!"
