tarun verma even I go with dominar because it has only one con that are brakes as one my friend's brother works in Bajaj and one minor which doesn't bother many owners that's fuel capacity! and he also said take abs as it's useless for daily commuting Bajaj is. just cashing over abs it's only used in race track! but in this review he's bluffing! -.- and never believe vedios which says review, full review etc shit!! it's the best bike you will ever get in as low as 1.57L on road(Hyderabad)
+Santosh Siva Vikas has already said in several previous videos that the Dominar is a great bike and no doubt excellent value for money. However, that doesn't mean a product is devoid of any flaws. Every bike comes with flaws and sometimes it is good to be aware of what they are. Now let me give you some advice: your friend's brother is full of shit buddy abs is not meant for racing infact on such bikes people tend to turn off the abs on the track. Learn and understand what ABS is before saying such horseshit
now a twist came up...!! there's accident occurred first accident of dominar 400 in India and this causes a hole in the engine!!! its this is scary I mean how many times u saw sm1 got accident and suddenly a hole in the engine this news completely change my views for dominar nd I thing I should go with my 1st choice that is Honda CBR 250r at least this is reliable!!!!
tarun verma brotha it depends on how well you ride😂 .. i mean if you get in an accident and your engine hits a pole or something hard it's gonna get a hole ...I've even seen a 390 get a hole in the engine. they're not made out of vibranium you see ..
vikash bhai, regarding the height, yes its a little tall bike ask me I am 5.4, but bhai u get used to the height... despite of my lower height I can easily manage the versys too... and high vehicles r more comfortable on highways too..
Nice Video and appreciate both(Vikas and Bulu) of your work on bringing informative videos. I purchased Dominar 400 on Jan 15th and I do feel the tip towing is a issue in traffic situation. I wanna know from you both, Is there a way to adjust the height of the bike. I am 5.6". Also, I think the rear braking could have been better but front I think is fine but agree with Vikas, I don't feel the bite in brakes.
I have completed 1000 km on it.. I'm short guy... Whatever you said I'm agree with that.... I realy love the bike.. But I can't use it for daily purposes... Because Bangalore traffic... & im short.... Bajaj should really take initiative for making seat bit shorter.... Im 5.4" tall 😊
The most important point missed in this video is about not having a central stand in this bike as it is heavy bike the chances of falling down is high if parked in side stand on loose ground and also difficulty in removing rear and front tires during punctures.
I can't afford to Buy another bike since I just Bought one few months back but woah this is such a Amazing bike for the price cheers who bought this bike have fun.
finally after so much praise good to hear criticism :P . I too took test ride yesterday and agree with all ur pros and cons. for styling and looks I still prefer Duke though 😎
hey buddy, i have a solution for the plastic tank and wanting to Put tank bag. Just open up the plastic Tank and stick magnets at appropriate locations. Have done that to my FZ. And i feel that the issue of Not having Temperature gauge is kinda Nit picking. I have it in my Car and i have never ever looked at. As a Matter of fact i have have kinda miss took it for Fuel Gauge (in i20 both are side by side in the digital display) and i have always wanted Just a small warning light to let me know that engine is over heating. Being liquid cooled am sure that would never happen while riding in our routine day to day life. ANd yes i agree with you that a Gear shift indicator to tell which gear we are in would have been highly welcomed. Also the trip computer that would tell us distance to empty. Hope Dominar 2.0 has that
These are my feedback after riding Dominar for 2 3 times. Dominar is 'budget mein sub kuch' type of bike. So it's not at all a touring bike, yes it goes faster but I feel it's simply a street bike with good engine. Also build quality is sacrificed for budget friendly pricing. So people who are actually looking for serious touring don't go for this, wait for bikes like BMW 310gs and other upcoming touring bikes or if you don't care about speed then you have Himalayan. Dominar is ok for casual touring, impressing your girlfriend or usual daily commute. Ride safe! :)
I have ride mojo. it's sounds like a 600cc sport bike. dual exhausts are great. speed is good, you can tour with an avg of 135kmph, engine is more refined and richer than doninar. both of the seats are very comfy. low seat height makes you.more closer to ground and feels really gr8. handle is light. don't feel any pressure. head light quality is also great on night. tyres are very good. very good grips yeah but you still have an old school tachometer and so on. don't like the tail section. I think Mojo is better than Dominar in most cases.
Akash Baran Maji but buddy the Mojo has the worst brakes, the rear brake always locks all the time all my Mojo friends have crashed because of the brakes... plus mojos suspension is stiffer... dual exhaust is unnecessarily adding more weight to the bike. seats are also very soft so quite uncomfortable for long ride... pillion seats r the worst, its even smaller then the dukes seat.
Great video Vikas sir! I couldn't help but notice that you did not mention the fuel tank capacity as a con, in my opinion the capacity should have been more, given that this bike is marketed as a touring motorcycle. I would like to know your thoughts on that.
Vikas hi Very well observations A quick suggestion I plan to buy a bike Duke 390 or Dominor or avenger I need to drive Only on bangslore city roads 40 Km per day
I just rode Dominar 400 today (chennai) it was actually mind blowing but as you said in the video the brakes doesn't give a confidence while riding at high speeds I have a plan of buying this bike but there are two other options in my list i.e Thunder bird 350 and Yamaha r3 so can you please suggest a few reason which out-stands the other two when compared with dominar
First of all thank you bro for doing the cons video for bajaj Dominar 400 because I found only pros video for this bike.Secondly I love your reviews because you do them very keenly.Love your motovlogs bro!!!
Bro you are amaz every time you make best video ..thanks for reviewing on every bike what you it really helps a lot of people.evert time I suggest you video to friend a lot.. thanks you..cherzzz bro
Vikas loves to tour, and his points are valid from the perspective of touring (for the most part). Problem is, people buying the Dominar, given its low price, will mostly squid around.
I don't think so . I'm sure about it wait and watch .People are not fans of bajaj .They either go for ktm duke 200 or rc 200 or like I said yamaha or bullet.I stay in mangalore,trust me we have lot of squids here taking R15 , bullets and especially RC200.I'm talking about my hometown ,not sure about the rest of India .
Sid Con but shockingly no squids buy a dominar. that's what I noticed. only seen serious or mature riders buying and riding a dominar. squids yes they prefer the NS and rs200 Or even the duke 200 to squid and shit around on the street. and how can we forget the chhapri bike 220 pulsar 😂 famous with squids
hai Vikas this is anoop. Thanks for your efforts to learn others about a new vehicle. I have some questions to ask you? I would like to buy a new bike, but I am confused which one is suitable for me. 3 bikes are in my mind, dominar, classic 350 and Electra 350. now I have a pulsar 180 having 7 years of age. I have ridden almost 56800kms. I have a 3members family. we always travel in my pulsar. now a days I have some back pain problem and performance of my bike is unsatisfactory. power become less. and no riding comfort and back pain. I am not a harsh driver. I always ride with a speed of 50 km. quite few times 70....but I love to ride power ful bikes of bajaj. now I am getting a mileage of 54 I need to know whether I select dominar 1)whether I get a mileage of 40km with my riding speed. 2) riding comfort or both rider and pillon seat. which are suitable for ladies both in single side and double side. 3)seat has a length of 3 people sitting.2 elder and a kid. 4)shall we replace its horn with a pair of pulsar horn. I need to get an answer of all these. read carefully. and give me a best reply. thankyou....."
Dominar owner here. Rode to Pune in 14 hours. Jaipur in 39 hours. Agreed on the mirrors and the braking. High seat height. Bro it is adjustable. I am 5ft 6in and I reduced the seat height by 2 units and now the baby handles like a dream. Not like a Ducati though. I also find the light pretty weak on highways at night-time. But my tours were accident free. Gear shift indicator? C'mon man. I change my gear by the front of the engine. And that how I love it. I also own a 2006 pulsar 180 in which I toured entire north east so the gut instinct comes from there. Engine does get hot which I feel in my daily commute but on the highway this beast is smooth. Comparing Dominar to RE and Dukes makes no sense. This bike is in a different segment altogether. The closet call would be Mahindra Mojo. Plastic tank is again fine but I do wish for a greater tank size. Saddles bags have not given me any trouble despite being short in height. But yeah. In love with this machine through and through. I wanted a good mid weight bike that can take me places and should not have the alphabets RE.
Thank you for the video. Well I will argue. Firstly nobody will complain anything about Dominar if they are really a bike enthusiast because it worth every penny spend. Brake: let’s take the weight of the bike you know how much it is, one brake cannot bite so use both at same time and it will work. Engine temperature indicator, when your bike rev limiter kicks in at 4000 rpm when engine is about to over heat, what indicator you even asking for? If we take the price to narrative and compare with other bikes anyone must be happy and be thankful to Bajaj made in India made for Indians.
I'm planing to buy a above 300cc bike. But totally confused in DOMINAR 400 , BMW G310R, BMW G310GS , Duke 390 , Benelli Tnt 300 etc etc for my nxt sikkim & Leh ladakh Tour. Kindly give me suggestion...
I've heard that if the fuel indicator has zero bars, you might have a good 3 liter fuel it just doesn't show up because it's the minimum requirement fuel cause of Fuel Injection.
most of the points are rectified like now we have the gear indicator and clock on the primary and secondary display, the bike doesn't vibrate, the power is better although the tank is still tiny at 13ltrs, the tank panels are fibre, the bike still weighs quite a lot and so on
Shakib Ahsan Obviously ri8 bro u cant get a super bike in 1.4 , i think it's d bst in this price no other can provide so much facilities in this price tag
plz.. some1 has thought about tall riders also... every damn bike in India is kinda ment for short guys. Im really happy with this bike. specially ride position. . short guys may buy an Avenger or R15.. chao. ✌ peace 🍑
Hi.....Vikash I have a qns for u... that i have RE 500cc Desert Storm( recently purchase). Is it good bike??? According to u...? Plzzz rply me big bro..... Your opinion is meant lot for me....
Nicely presented man much appreciated.. 1 Query..I have seen In one review video of the same bike that the Owner describes that the gear downshift is not quick. He has to Clutch & down shift in on every gear to bring it to the first gear. e.g. The owner was riding on 5th gear & suddenly he has to slow cause speed breaker or a Sudden potholes so normally we downshift the gears by holding Clutch & then Shift shift shift shift. But he describes that u have to Clutch-downshift, Clutch-downshift till 1st gear if you are slowing down suddenly.. Whats your comment on this, do u ever have to do this?
vikas are you a true biker,if yes question yourself plz. why the hell are you comparing KTM to Dominar?? KTM have this Dominar doesn't. KTM have that Dominar doesn't. what the hell man. Dominar have its own specs okay. tell the points which hate but don't compare them and begin the rivals.
@@somrawat4280 but now they nearly do 🙂 there's hardly a price difference in 2020. the duke 390 costs 2.58 ex showroom and the dominar 2.25 ex showroom
buddy, if you are a serious tourer, then these are actually very big problems... and by touring i mean 600 to 750 km a day... however you will not feel these problems much when you are riding 150 or 200 km in one day...
bro what do u want under 2lakh budget atleast bajaj is giving us a 400cc engine see ktm the price is touching the sky and bajaj giving more features like slipper clutch,dual channel ABS now what do u want
Hi Vikas, can you please suggest which is a better option to go for between Thunderbird 350, Thunderbird 500 and the Dominar? I know people will say you cannot compare TB with Dominar but I want to select between these two bikes. My use is for daily commuting and occasional touring. My height is about 5.7 and I am on the heavier side. Budget is about 2.2 lacs. Your honest suggestion would be really appreciated. Or shall I wait for any other upcoming bikes you recommend? Thank you.
Thanks for the review. Wish you could have the bike on main stand for better visibility of bike.... specially while explaining the ride height. Rest all good.
Sir please share your review of dominar 400. Im planning to buy a bike for me within few days and I'm really way too much confused between rs 200 and dominar 400. The only thing that's making me think alot for dominar is the average. My use in the city is about 80% and rest 20% on the highways. Please share your experience. Please also share the exact average you or your colleagues are getting from dominar. Thanks alot.
EBC released Brake pads for dominar for 2899Rs.Before you go to EBC you can consider ASK Disc pads same for UG4 pulsar series.its Around 130Rs Its sound like very cheap,But its doing great job.Not so durable but its better than stock pads.Am using its better.EBC good option and its copper alloy sintered best option,ASK is coarse Semi type.
Bro, I too use Dominar 400 ABS FEB 2018 Model. If they have given mental tank and if you start using Magnetic Bags it may damage the instruments on TANK because of Magnetic Field...
this is the kind of review you are known for. The 2017 Duke 390 review was Informative but the way you presented it was a bit childish and out of your character. You are a mature rider who is very well informed about mechanicals. I don't think you need to act like a overenthusiastic teenage rider to attract potential subscribers. I hope you don't mind what I said, it was just a thought that came to my mind. Been following you since 2015, and just love your informative videos
I have seen soo many youtube reviews about this bike - reviews from bike owners and company ), read articles about this and among the points, you have mentioned like - plastic fuel tank, rare view mirrors, consol trip indicators etc, around 99% have the exact same problem or complaints about this bike. Also, it has vibrations on high speeds. So its kinda nice that you folks give your time and energy to give the proper review as well as share your experience with this bike which in turn help to make a conscience about this bike, but is Bajaj really listening to the consumer's complaints ?? or turning a blind eye !! coz if they would be listening to these complaints then I am sure by now they would had incorporated changes as per consumer likes. :-) , anyways good review.
Hello Mr. Vikas , I have a doubt regarding my ktm duke 390. I own a 2015 ktm duke 390..... my instrument cluster shows 13k rpm as the limit... but recently when i was riding i came to know, the limiter kicks in as soon as 9500 rpm...... is it the same for all the dukes or is it from the new slipper clutch enabled versions...... can it also be, because of me setting the shift light at that particular rpm....... please share your views...... i am always inspired by your videos..... keep up the good work and do what you like... all the best.......
Things discussed here maybe good point for other riders. Dominar is like keeping technology subtle.. these 8 points are the perks of having a dominar400
i want to buy dominar bt most of the ppl i askd said dnt go fr dominar.bajaj bikes r nt durable creats lots of prblms aftr couple of yrs,no avg,no resale value.feel gud only whn its new,aftr 2-3 yrs wil face issues.rather dan go fr royal. so specification wise dominar is best bt it is dat best fr long time?need advice.
At that price it's the best offering from Bajaj... I think no manufacturer in the world can provide the same at that price...Indian manufacturers are really great in that perspective...
I think there are some good pointers here along with supportive logic to it. Well, it's never going to be a complete wholesome package, requirements along with costs will always differ from rider to rider.. And honestly you should always compare apples to apples.. All in all informative..
this bike is less costlier than the duke 200,,and packs a lot of goods for that amazing price tag bajaj has put on it,, the cons u pointed out like the trip computer and the shift indicator,,will only increase the price of the bike,,, if u want all that just go for or smthg costlier ,,, this bike is really worth the money and a good option for buyers with low budget,, bajaj did an awesome job on the pricing of the bike,, and with the bike too,, these points doesnt mean shit,, for a bike which gives this much and that too for an awesome price tag,,, :/
your dog is chill af during the entire review :D
Mayank Goswami his dog is always chill
lol haha
lol ha aha
I think after hearing all this cons I still go with dominar because truly thts value for money bike...
tarun verma even I go with dominar because it has only one con that are brakes as one my friend's brother works in Bajaj and one minor which doesn't bother many owners that's fuel capacity! and he also said take abs as it's useless for daily commuting Bajaj is. just cashing over abs it's only used in race track!
but in this review he's bluffing! -.- and never believe vedios which says review, full review etc shit!! it's the best bike you will ever get in as low as 1.57L on road(Hyderabad)
+Santosh Siva Vikas has already said in several previous videos that the Dominar is a great bike and no doubt excellent value for money. However, that doesn't mean a product is devoid of any flaws.

the brakes are perfect! I have a non abs it's been more than a week and the brakes are quick!
tarun verma brotha it depends on how well you ride😂 .. i mean if you get in an accident and your engine hits a pole or something hard it's gonna get a hole ...I've even seen a 390 get a hole in the engine. they're not made out of vibranium you see ..
All the things are fixed in dominar 2019 ug
Please do check it..... ❤️
vikash bhai, regarding the height, yes its a little tall bike ask me I am 5.4, but bhai u get used to the height... despite of my lower height I can easily manage the versys too... and high vehicles r more comfortable on highways too..

Also, I think the rear braking could have been better but front I think is fine but agree with Vikas, I don't feel the bite in brakes.
Vikas ji can u please tell that domminor is good tourer
If Bulu biker comments. There has to be a like.
Bulu Biker I am 5.5 can I ride it?
No.4 isn't really a problem. Not everyone is gonna place bag in the tank. I prefer carrying bag at the back.
he clearly said those who would tour , they would place bag on tank....as touring guys have more bags .........sun pehele
Ankit Magar oi bhai taile malai nasika ta. Tero chheu na tuppa ko suggestion tai sanga rakh.
dude im not nepali...i idk what u saying !
I have completed 1000 km on it.. I'm short guy... Whatever you said I'm agree with that.... I realy love the bike.. But I can't use it for daily purposes... Because Bangalore traffic... & im short.... Bajaj should really take initiative for making seat bit shorter.... Im 5.4" tall 😊
Thanks for watching mate!
good points can't be neglected but I can live with it 😎
Harsha Gowda u bough it?
Bought*
Abhishek Singh I've booked the bike bro still haven't received it but I'll be getting it by the end of this month
Harsha Gowda u got it? nw?
Nice video as always.... A suggestion though... Could you use the cam without mounting it on helmet when you are not riding
Gurinderjit Singh LOL!
true rider always wears his helmet...
😂😂😂😂
The most important point missed in this video is about not having a central stand in this bike as it is heavy bike the chances of falling down is high if parked in side stand on loose ground and also difficulty in removing rear and front tires during punctures.
None of the Cons are actually deal breakers... Just nit picking!
I can't afford to Buy another bike since I just Bought one few months back but woah this is such a Amazing bike for the price cheers who bought this bike have fun.
Arjun Dhillon which bike u bought
INVINCIBLE ONE Bullet 350 standard
Dude you didnt just buy a/any bike. You bought a bult!!
@@evilplaya6350 a vibrator 🤷🏼♂️
finally after so much praise good to hear criticism :P . I too took test ride yesterday and agree with all ur pros and cons. for styling and looks I still prefer Duke though 😎

Gear Shift indicator is a deal breaker for me. I will wait for Dominar 400 2.0 or Pulsar RS400. Whichever's first.
Do you own a FZ V2.0...the 150 cc one ?
These are my feedback after riding Dominar for 2 3 times. Dominar is 'budget mein sub kuch' type of bike. So it's not at all a touring bike, yes it goes faster but I feel it's simply a street bike with good engine. Also build quality is sacrificed for budget friendly pricing.

Mahindra Mojo is also a very nice touring bike buddy...
Subhadip Dutta yes of course Mojo too!
How is Mojo a better tourer than Dominar ? Except the fuel tank.
I have ride mojo. it's sounds like a 600cc sport bike. dual exhausts are great. speed is good, you can tour with an avg of 135kmph,

I couldn't help but notice that you did not mention the fuel tank capacity as a con, in my opinion the capacity should have been more, given that this bike is marketed as a touring motorcycle.
I would like to know your thoughts on that.
This I 100% agree with.
You are right bro there should be gear shift indicator especially in the bike which have 6 gears which is difficult to remember during riding
Gear shift indicator is a must for me.
Vikas hi
Very well observations
A quick suggestion
I plan to buy a bike
Duke 390 or Dominor or avenger
I need to drive Only on bangslore city roads 40 Km per day
I just rode Dominar 400 today (chennai)
it was actually mind blowing but as you said in the video the brakes doesn't give a confidence while riding at high speeds
I have a plan of buying this bike but there are two other options in my list i.e Thunder bird 350 and Yamaha r3
so can you please suggest a few reason which out-stands the other two when compared with dominar
thanks for your comments, I like it.... it's actually can help.. helped me...
vikas all your videos are superb! keep going. I am a beginner level rider. All your videos help and are easy to understand.
I agree on issues like brake pads & mirrors; M/s. Bajaj Auto Ltd, should take note of same
First of all thank you bro for doing the cons video for bajaj Dominar 400 because I found only pros video for this bike.Secondly I love your reviews because you do them very keenly.Love your motovlogs bro!!!
Bro you are amaz every time you make best video ..thanks for reviewing on every bike what you it really helps a lot of people.evert time I suggest you video to friend a lot.. thanks you..cherzzz bro
Vikas loves to tour, and his points are valid from the perspective of touring (for the most part). Problem is, people buying the Dominar, given its low price, will mostly squid around.
Sid Con not sure about squids bro .They I'll prefer R15 v3 or bullet .I'm sure they ill not go for dominor .
Shreyas G guess you are wrong for this time😋
I don't think so . I'm sure about it wait and watch .People are not fans of bajaj .They either go for ktm duke 200 or rc 200 or like I said yamaha or bullet.I stay in mangalore,trust me we have lot of squids here taking R15 , bullets and especially RC200.I'm talking about my hometown ,not sure about the rest of India .
+Shreyas G well those squids need to rethink about their choice if they go for bullet
Sid Con but shockingly no squids buy a dominar.
that's what I noticed.
only seen serious or mature riders buying and riding a dominar.
squids yes they prefer the NS and rs200 Or even the duke 200 to squid and shit around on the street.
and how can we forget the chhapri bike 220 pulsar 😂 famous with squids
Vikas Sir each and every point is very very critical and crucial.
Good observations Vikas....practical issues highlighted...cheers!
@
Honest review.
1. The bike doesn't have a kicker?
What if the battery goes down. How to start the vehicle?
hai Vikas this is anoop. Thanks for your efforts to learn others about a new vehicle. I have some questions to ask you?
I would like to buy a new bike, but I am confused which one is suitable for me.
3 bikes are in my mind, dominar, classic 350 and Electra 350.
now I have a pulsar 180 having 7 years of age. I have ridden almost 56800kms. I have a 3members family. we always travel in my pulsar. now a days I have some back pain problem and performance of my bike is unsatisfactory. power become less. and no riding comfort and back pain. I am not a harsh driver. I always ride with a speed of 50 km. quite few times 70....but I love to ride power ful bikes of bajaj.
now I am getting a mileage of 54
I need to know whether I select dominar
1)whether I get a mileage of 40km with my riding speed.
2) riding comfort or both rider and pillon seat. which are suitable for ladies both in single side and double side.
3)seat has a length of 3 people sitting.2 elder and a kid.
4)shall we replace its horn with a pair of pulsar horn.
I need to get an answer of all these. read carefully. and give me a best reply.
thankyou....."
Bajaj Dominar or Mahindra mojo which is more refined & reliable?
Dominar owner here.
Rode to Pune in 14 hours. Jaipur in 39 hours.
Agreed on the mirrors and the braking.
High seat height. Bro it is adjustable. I am 5ft 6in and I reduced the seat height by 2 units and now the baby handles like a dream. Not like a Ducati though.
I also find the light pretty weak on highways at night-time. But my tours were accident free.
Gear shift indicator? C'mon man. I change my gear by the front of the engine. And that how I love it. I also own a 2006 pulsar 180 in which I toured entire north east so the gut instinct comes from there.

Comparing Dominar to RE and Dukes makes no sense. This bike is in a different segment altogether. The closet call would be Mahindra Mojo.
Plastic tank is again fine but I do wish for a greater tank size.
Saddles bags have not given me any trouble despite being short in height.
But yeah. In love with this machine through and through. I wanted a good mid weight bike that can take me places and should not have the alphabets RE.
Very well. Nicely put across. Although the points are not deal breakers, but put into perspective, the points are worth mentioning. Good job.
You nailed it Vikas. Good notice regarding heat gauge.
+Vinay Belagala Thanks very much mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Yes I did. I'm your subscriber since 2012
great review!! I've seen several reviews about Dominator, but yours is very critical and I appreciate that because that helps to make a smart buy!!
+Gustavo Ortega Thanks very much. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Hi buddy informative vid man!
Thank you for the video. Well I will argue.
Firstly nobody will complain anything about Dominar if they are really a bike enthusiast because it worth every penny spend.
Brake: let’s take the weight of the bike you know how much it is, one brake cannot bite so use both at same time and it will work.
Engine temperature indicator, when your bike rev limiter kicks in at 4000 rpm when engine is about to over heat, what indicator you even asking for? If we take the price to narrative and compare with other bikes anyone must be happy and be thankful to Bajaj made in India made for Indians.
I'm planing to buy a above 300cc bike. But totally confused in DOMINAR 400 , BMW G310R, BMW G310GS , Duke 390 , Benelli Tnt 300 etc etc for my nxt sikkim & Leh ladakh Tour. Kindly give me suggestion...

Would you buy the new 2022 model over KTM390, CB300 or Ninja 300?
I've heard that if the fuel indicator has zero bars, you might have a good 3 liter fuel it just doesn't show up because it's the minimum requirement fuel cause of Fuel Injection.
most of the points are rectified like now we have the gear indicator and clock on the primary and secondary display,
the bike doesn't vibrate, the power is better
although the tank is still tiny at 13ltrs, the tank panels are fibre, the bike still weighs quite a lot and so on
Do suggest a preferred bike.. Considering cost and the feature.. Ktm duke 250, dominar or fz250?
bhai 1,40,000 mein aur kya chaahiye
this is an awesome bike i just luv riding it
Shakib Ahsan Obviously ri8 bro u cant get a super bike in 1.4 , i think it's d bst in this price no other can provide so much facilities in this price tag
@@amitlal3758 😂😂😂 hmmm i see
plz.. some1 has thought about tall riders also... every damn bike in India is kinda ment for short guys. Im really happy with this bike. specially ride position. . short guys may buy an Avenger or R15.. chao. ✌ peace 🍑
Mono suspension can be adjusted according to your requirements
Hi.....Vikash
I have a qns for u... that i have RE 500cc Desert Storm( recently purchase). Is it good bike??? According to u...?
Plzzz rply me big bro.....
Your opinion is meant lot for me....
Is it worth buying KTM RC 125 as a first bike ?
Problem no2 is not just fine as there is a vast difference between ktm and dominor
Nicely presented man much appreciated.. 1 Query..I have seen In one review video of the same bike that the Owner describes that the gear downshift is not quick. He has to Clutch & down shift in on every gear to bring it to the first gear. e.g. The owner was riding on 5th gear & suddenly he has to slow cause speed breaker or a Sudden potholes so normally we downshift the gears by holding Clutch & then Shift shift shift shift. But he describes that u have to Clutch-downshift, Clutch-downshift till 1st gear if you are slowing down suddenly.. Whats your comment on this, do u ever have to do this?
About point number 4......I think Bajaj should make a tank bag which is properly compatible with the Dominar
There’s engine heat warning ⚠️ system. Which will tell you once engine temp crosses a particular value
is it better to buy this bike or a Duke 250 or a rc 200?????
vikas are you a true biker,if yes question yourself plz.
why the hell are you comparing KTM to Dominar??
KTM have this Dominar doesn't.
KTM have that Dominar doesn't.
what the hell man.
Dominar have its own specs okay.
tell the points which hate but don't compare them and begin the rivals.
Cuz both share the same engine
@@somrawat4280 but now they nearly do 🙂
there's hardly a price difference in 2020.
the duke 390 costs 2.58 ex showroom and the dominar 2.25 ex showroom
I am planning to buy this bike please suggest me whether it's a good bike for daily city use and few highway rides.??
really keen observations. eye opener...
Bro except braking , rest of the issues you explained are really not problems...
buddy, if you are a serious tourer, then these are actually very big problems... and by touring i mean 600 to 750 km a day... however you will not feel these problems much when you are riding 150 or 200 km in one day...
Most importantly it should have got a 15 or 16ltr fuel tank which would improve its touring range and Yess the Gear indicator too.
Hi bro, I agree to your justification and would add the fact that the indicators are meagre and so timidly small to dominate.
bro what do u want under 2lakh budget atleast bajaj is giving us a 400cc engine see ktm the price is touching the sky and bajaj giving more features like slipper clutch,dual channel ABS now what do u want
some are complaining about the power lag. is it true that the bike has power lag problems?
Hi Vikas, can you please suggest which is a better option to go for between Thunderbird 350, Thunderbird 500 and the Dominar? I know people will say you cannot compare TB with Dominar but I want to select between these two bikes. My use is for daily commuting and occasional touring. My height is about 5.7 and I am on the heavier side. Budget is about 2.2 lacs. Your honest suggestion would be really appreciated. Or shall I wait for any other upcoming bikes you recommend? Thank you.
Your videos are AAA quality...got another sub sir!
What should I go for classic 350 or dominar 400 as my first bike?? Pls hlp me
bro it's firing sound is good or not just like sports bikes???
Thanks for the review. Wish you could have the bike on main stand for better visibility of bike.... specially while explaining the ride height. Rest all good.
i am ur subscriber since u were around 2k
man at these what do want man
I think u need reshika
good milage power tank pad awesome magnet
What about the vibes after 100 kmph.? Not so good for a power cruiser.
U didnt mention about the small tank capacity given the inadequate mileage...one has to fill the tank every 350kms or so...
what about the wire attached with front brakes which is not looking well... that's the only bad thing which degrade it's look from front.
Sir please share your review of dominar 400. Im planning to buy a bike for me within few days and I'm really way too much confused between rs 200 and dominar 400. The only thing that's making me think alot for dominar is the average. My use in the city is about 80% and rest 20% on the highways. Please share your experience. Please also share the exact average you or your colleagues are getting from dominar. Thanks alot.
EBC released Brake pads for dominar for 2899Rs.Before you go to EBC you can consider ASK Disc pads same for UG4 pulsar series.its Around 130Rs Its sound like very cheap,But its doing great job.Not so durable but its better than stock pads.Am using its better.EBC good option and its copper alloy sintered best option,ASK is coarse Semi type.
It has Engine heat warning post specific temperature.
Bro, I too use Dominar 400 ABS FEB 2018 Model. If they have given mental tank and if you start using Magnetic Bags it may damage the instruments on TANK because of Magnetic Field...
I may be wrong....but keeping a mobile inside a magnetic bag.might not be a great idea
I am a riding my bike within 50-70km/hr usually. same with dominar, how much mileage would I get?
this is the kind of review you are known for. The 2017 Duke 390 review was Informative but the way you presented it was a bit childish and out of your character. You are a mature rider who is very well informed about mechanicals. I don't think you need to act like a overenthusiastic teenage rider to attract potential subscribers. I hope you don't mind what I said, it was just a thought that came to my mind. Been following you since 2015, and just love your informative videos
I have seen soo many youtube reviews about this bike - reviews from bike owners and company ), read articles about this and among the points, you have mentioned like - plastic fuel tank, rare view mirrors, consol trip indicators etc, around 99% have the exact same problem or complaints about this bike. Also, it has vibrations on high speeds. So its kinda nice that you folks give your time and energy to give the proper review as well as share your experience with this bike which in turn help to make a conscience about this bike, but is Bajaj really listening to the consumer's complaints ?? or turning a blind eye !! coz if they would be listening to these complaints then I am sure by now they would had incorporated changes as per consumer likes. :-) , anyways good review.
+Chetan Gupta Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
you can adjust the mirrors to your reqmt, not a big deal!
Hello Mr. Vikas , I have a doubt regarding my ktm duke 390. I own a 2015 ktm duke 390..... my instrument cluster shows 13k rpm as the limit... but recently when i was riding i came to know, the limiter kicks in as soon as 9500 rpm...... is it the same for all the dukes or is it from the new slipper clutch enabled versions...... can it also be, because of me setting the shift light at that particular rpm....... please share your views......
i am always inspired by your videos..... keep up the good work and do what you like... all the best.......
plz let me know should i go for RC200 or dominar 400??
Hi Vikash, how do you feel about the new Dominar 400 2019?
Things discussed here maybe good point for other riders. Dominar is like keeping technology subtle.. these 8 points are the perks of having a dominar400
bro... the cons that you r pointing out aren't really cons... they are just few Imperfections that bajaj needs to Improve...
i want to buy dominar bt most of the ppl i askd said dnt go fr dominar.bajaj bikes r nt durable creats lots of prblms aftr couple of yrs,no avg,no resale value.feel gud only whn its new,aftr 2-3 yrs wil face issues.rather dan go fr royal.
so specification wise dominar is best bt it is dat best fr long time?need advice.
At 3:00 i guess the Dominar's engine does not heat up so Bajaj thought why to include a feature which the bike won't be facing issues with.
At that price it's the best offering from Bajaj... I think no manufacturer in the world can provide the same at that price...Indian manufacturers are really great in that perspective...
It might be the weight of dominar 182kgs, due to which brakes are not as good as compared to ktm 390 which has less weight.
Watching it too late 1st question came to my mind ye indoor parking me bhi helmet lagana jaruri hai kya ?
I think there are some good pointers here along with supportive logic to it. Well, it's never going to be a complete wholesome package, requirements along with costs will always differ from rider to rider.. And honestly you should always compare apples to apples..
All in all informative..
the biggest disadvantage is weight. combined with high seat height that really hampers the comfort factor
I agree.. Thanks for watching mate!
Great analysis and awesome review!!
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
abs should have been switchable , and the trip computer which you said +Vikas Rachamalla is also a good opinion..
I am a newbie..why would you want to switch off ABS ? It is for our safety right.
Akshay B K city traffic ride don't require abs.. switching off while riding could be good in city traffic without abs
Sir, please do a comprehensive review and you're personal take on Duke 200
Very good motorcycle bro! Just go for it..
this bike is less costlier than the duke 200,,and packs a lot of goods for that amazing price tag bajaj has put on it,, the cons u pointed out like the trip computer and the shift indicator,,will only increase the price of the bike,,, if u want all that just go for or smthg costlier ,,, this bike is really worth the money and a good option for buyers with low budget,, bajaj did an awesome job on the pricing of the bike,, and with the bike too,, these points doesnt mean shit,, for a bike which gives this much and that too for an awesome price tag,,, :/
