    It is a one of good looking bikes in India. It is a product of bajaj no doubt on its quality & its gonna be great on performance must buy. For me its a awesome bike. Must have a buying and riding experience. Must buy on festive season & get exciting offers. You can use it for racing and multi purpose, go on your nearest showroom & must have a test drive experience.

  • A promising sports tourer

    4 years ago


    Samarth Kambli

    I bought the bike just a couple of months after it was launched. It was quite promising as it offered all that i wanted for an amazing price. Though the showroom had limited stock we managed to get the bike registered and delivered in under 3 weeks.Pros:- 1) the bike is amazing to handle when compared to other tourers in the segment.2) it has good punch of power and torque when you need it, quite enough for indian roads.3) looks of the motorcycle were different and futuristic. It is a real headturner and the throaty exhaust just makes it more appealing.4) the headlight, although not very wide, lights up the road quite well and is quite bright aswell.5) the bike is loaded with technology, with twin displays, gear position indicator, liquid cooling, fi, abs, etc it is more than what you paid for.6) it might sound really weird but personally i felt more comfortable riding the dominar as compared to my classic 350. The seat has good cushioning and although i had to add raisers to the handle bar, the stock setup was surprisingly very comfortable aswell. Vibrations do creep in but are very minimal and dont bother you that much.Cons:-1)the build quality isn't that great almost 13000kms into riding and there are alot of jaaring noises coming from the panels. 2) i just discovered that the front steering bearing needs to be changed every 10-15k kms as the handle tends to loose its smoothness. Comparatively other motorcycles dont need it to be changed for atleast 35-40k kms.3) the gearbox has a clunky sound to it, which has gone worse after a year of riding. 4) the service from bajaj (atleast of which i have experienced) is pathetic. I have hardly seen 1 or two svcs who are actually helpful and they resolve your issue. Most of the service centers have no expertise for working on the dominar. Replacement parts which are ordered take almost 2-3 months to be delivered. (and these parts are manufactured & get shipped from pune a mere 150kms from mumbai)Finally if bajaj sorts out the build quality issues and the aftersales service aspect. This is a very promising product. Although i am not happy about bajaj going ahead with the dominar 250 as the dominar lineup was supposed to be a premium topend range. But it cannot be denied that the dominar 400 is an amazing and comfortable tourer.

    Tips for other riders

    Stock tyres and the chain sprocket last for about 20000kms. And they have to be changed. To avoid spending alot at once change the rear tyre first as it wears out faster than the front and you can change the front tyre after about 2k kms more. Clean and lubricate the chain every 500kms & keep proper slack on the chain. Do not keep the bike covered all the time during rains as the metal parts might start to rust.

  • A very good upgrade, with few niggles

    35 weeks ago


    Bharanidaran R

    I don't think I can saying anything new in this bike that the world doesn't know. But let me try
    Confidence inspiring: A lot of people talk about weight being a -ve, and it is, however when you hit the highway, if you are like me coming from 150cc, this bike will give you so much confidence, it got the ergonomics right and the suspension absorbing small-medium potholes, it is just so easy to ride. I don't think any 400 CC bike (a couple of years ago) would compete with this on that. Either they are too aggressive like Dukes or very tame like the REs
    Certainly a looker: This could be subjective, however when I compare the styling with others in this segment, it certainly looks really cool and this is something i have heard from people around us. When travelling with my friends in ADV 390, REs, Domi always stands out, that is a feel-good factor in buying this machine
    Comfort: Whenever the talks about Domi, the statements start with weight/vibrations and end with the engine. However, comfort according to me is more important than the former. I can say i felt extremely comfortable riding long in this bike. It revs hard and absorbs undulations so well that you forget you are riding on bad roads, its only when we stop for a tea break other riders complain about how poor and horrible the ride as you realize that you are driving a superior machine. This is also due to the better seats available in the bike, At first i felt the seats were hard, however after many rides i understood the need for high-density foam and how thankful my bums feel after a day out
    These are pointers from my ownership and glad to say i made the right choice, there are so many motoring channels that don't speak of Dominar but they always come back to vibrations, take a test ride for at least 25 kms if possible and then decide. Just remember there is no perfect bike, it only depends on what you want from it and does it delivers that to your satisfaction, Opinions can be from anyone but decisions must be based on your satisfaction and happiness and nothing else. After all, if you don't get what you love, why at all?

    Tips for other riders

    Lube inside and out every 500 KMs, start your bike daily and check thoroughly. Maintain air pressure as per the manufacturer. Don't put raisers, air cushions in first 3K kms, test your bike and change your style first and then make upgrades based on need only.

  • Is Dominar 400 still unbeatable in 2024?

    14 weeks ago


    Subham Mitra

    1. Power bands are at 2.5 k RPM and after 4 k RPM. Buzz will be there.
    2. Top speed can vary from 153 to 161 KMPH depending on the situation. 
    3. Mileage varies from 27 to 30 km/l.
    4. Heavy-weight bike, so if you're skinny like me, you need some time to get used to it.
    5. The rider seat is comfortable enough, but the pillion seat isn't comfortable for longer rides.
    6. Stock tires aren't that great.
    7. The service center experience wasn't good for me.
    8. Test riding this and other competitors is a must before deciding.

    It's a huge touring cum city rides bike.......Awesome experiences with this one. You would love riding this. The con is the instrument console it can be more clear and the second instrument console can be kept in the top itself...It would have been better.. Waiting for more rides with this. The torque is better and the power is low below 4000 rpm but it's insane after 4000 rpm.

    Awesome ride experience, good bike in bajaj and value for money, comfortable for a long ride, city ride is quite a weight, mileage is quite good when you maintain in 80 to 100 speed, muscular design, mirror's or awesome, night lighting is good, full Torque is good on a high speed and it will be a smooth ride.

    Confidence inspiring: A lot of people talk about weight being a -ve, and it is, however when you hit the highway, if you are like me coming from 150cc, this bike will give you so much confidence, it got the ergonomics right and the suspension absorbing small-medium potholes, it is just so easy to ride. I don't think any 400 CC bike (a couple of years ago) would compete with this on that. Either they are too aggressive like Dukes or very tame like the REs
    Certainly a looker: This could be subjective, however when I compare the styling with others in this segment, it certainly looks really cool and this is something i have heard from people around us. When travelling with my friends in ADV 390, REs, Domi always stands out, that is a feel-good factor in buying this machine
    Comfort: Whenever the talks about Domi, the statements start with weight/vibrations and end with the engine. However, comfort according to me is more important than the former. I can say i felt extremely comfortable riding long in this bike. It revs hard and absorbs undulations so well that you forget you are riding on bad roads, its only when we stop for a tea break other riders complain about how poor and horrible the ride as you realize that you are driving a superior machine. This is also due to the better seats available in the bike, At first i felt the seats were hard, however after many rides i understood the need for high-density foam and how thankful my bums feel after a day out
    These are pointers from my ownership and glad to say i made the right choice, there are so many motoring channels that don't speak of Dominar but they always come back to vibrations, take a test ride for at least 25 kms if possible and then decide. Just remember there is no perfect bike, it only depends on what you want from it and does it delivers that to your satisfaction, Opinions can be from anyone but decisions must be based on your satisfaction and happiness and nothing else. After all, if you don't get what you love, why at all?

    Lube inside and out every 500 KMs, start your bike daily and check thoroughly. Maintain air pressure as per the manufacturer. Don't put raisers, air cushions in first 3K kms, test your bike and change your style first and then make upgrades based on need only.

  • Is Dominar 400 still unbeatable in 2024?

    14 weeks ago


    Subham Mitra

    1. Power bands are at 2.5 k RPM and after 4 k RPM. Buzz will be there.
    2. Top speed can vary from 153 to 161 KMPH depending on the situation. 
    3. Mileage varies from 27 to 30 km/l.
    4. Heavy-weight bike, so if you're skinny like me, you need some time to get used to it.
    5. The rider seat is comfortable enough, but the pillion seat isn't comfortable for longer rides.
    6. Stock tires aren't that great.
    7. The service center experience wasn't good for me.
    8. Test riding this and other competitors is a must before deciding.

    It's a huge touring cum city rides bike.......Awesome experiences with this one. You would love riding this. The con is the instrument console it can be more clear and the second instrument console can be kept in the top itself...It would have been better.. Waiting for more rides with this. The torque is better and the power is low below 4000 rpm but it's insane after 4000 rpm.

    Awesome ride experience, good bike in bajaj and value for money, comfortable for a long ride, city ride is quite a weight, mileage is quite good when you maintain in 80 to 100 speed, muscular design, mirror's or awesome, night lighting is good, full Torque is good on a high speed and it will be a smooth ride.

  • A good looking bike

    5 years ago


    Vcibhav Johar

    It is a one of good looking bikes in India. It is a product of bajaj no doubt on its quality & its gonna be great on performance must buy. For me its a awesome bike. Must have a buying and riding experience. Must buy on festive season & get exciting offers. You can use it for racing and multi purpose, go on your nearest showroom & must have a test drive experience.

  • A promising sports tourer

    4 years ago


    Samarth Kambli

    I bought the bike just a couple of months after it was launched. It was quite promising as it offered all that i wanted for an amazing price. Though the showroom had limited stock we managed to get the bike registered and delivered in under 3 weeks.Pros:- 1) the bike is amazing to handle when compared to other tourers in the segment.2) it has good punch of power and torque when you need it, quite enough for indian roads.3) looks of the motorcycle were different and futuristic. It is a real headturner and the throaty exhaust just makes it more appealing.4) the headlight, although not very wide, lights up the road quite well and is quite bright aswell.5) the bike is loaded with technology, with twin displays, gear position indicator, liquid cooling, fi, abs, etc it is more than what you paid for.6) it might sound really weird but personally i felt more comfortable riding the dominar as compared to my classic 350. The seat has good cushioning and although i had to add raisers to the handle bar, the stock setup was surprisingly very comfortable aswell. Vibrations do creep in but are very minimal and dont bother you that much.Cons:-1)the build quality isn't that great almost 13000kms into riding and there are alot of jaaring noises coming from the panels. 2) i just discovered that the front steering bearing needs to be changed every 10-15k kms as the handle tends to loose its smoothness. Comparatively other motorcycles dont need it to be changed for atleast 35-40k kms.3) the gearbox has a clunky sound to it, which has gone worse after a year of riding. 4) the service from bajaj (atleast of which i have experienced) is pathetic. I have hardly seen 1 or two svcs who are actually helpful and they resolve your issue. Most of the service centers have no expertise for working on the dominar. Replacement parts which are ordered take almost 2-3 months to be delivered. (and these parts are manufactured & get shipped from pune a mere 150kms from mumbai)Finally if bajaj sorts out the build quality issues and the aftersales service aspect. This is a very promising product. Although i am not happy about bajaj going ahead with the dominar 250 as the dominar lineup was supposed to be a premium topend range. But it cannot be denied that the dominar 400 is an amazing and comfortable tourer.

    Tips for other riders

    Stock tyres and the chain sprocket last for about 20000kms. And they have to be changed. To avoid spending alot at once change the rear tyre first as it wears out faster than the front and you can change the front tyre after about 2k kms more. Clean and lubricate the chain every 500kms & keep proper slack on the chain. Do not keep the bike covered all the time during rains as the metal parts might start to rust.

  • A very good upgrade, with few niggles

    35 weeks ago

    I don't think I can saying anything new in this bike that the world doesn't know. But let me try
    Confidence inspiring: A lot of people talk about weight being a -ve, and it is, however when you hit the highway, if you are like me coming from 150cc, this bike will give you so much confidence, it got the ergonomics right and the suspension absorbing small-medium potholes, it is just so easy to ride. I don't think any 400 CC bike (a couple of years ago) would compete with this on that. Either they are too aggressive like Dukes or very tame like the REs
    Certainly a looker: This could be subjective, however when I compare the styling with others in this segment, it certainly looks really cool and this is something i have heard from people around us. When travelling with my friends in ADV 390, REs, Domi always stands out, that is a feel-good factor in buying this machine
    Comfort: Whenever the talks about Domi, the statements start with weight/vibrations and end with the engine. However, comfort according to me is more important than the former. I can say i felt extremely comfortable riding long in this bike. It revs hard and absorbs undulations so well that you forget you are riding on bad roads, its only when we stop for a tea break other riders complain about how poor and horrible the ride as you realize that you are driving a superior machine. This is also due to the better seats available in the bike, At first i felt the seats were hard, however after many rides i understood the need for high-density foam and how thankful my bums feel after a day out
    These are pointers from my ownership and glad to say i made the right choice, there are so many motoring channels that don't speak of Dominar but they always come back to vibrations, take a test ride for at least 25 kms if possible and then decide. Just remember there is no perfect bike, it only depends on what you want from it and does it delivers that to your satisfaction, Opinions can be from anyone but decisions must be based on your satisfaction and happiness and nothing else.
