Bajaj Dominar 250 | Duke 250 meets Dominar 400! | PowerDrift

- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The Bajaj Dominar 400 wants to be a sport-touring motorcycle. But Bajaj believes that the 373cc engine and the performance is too much for a lot of buyers who end up buying smaller bikes instead. It’s for those people that it has created the Dominar 250, a motorcycle that takes the Dominar 400 frame, more or less, and adds in the engine from the wonderful KTM 250 Duke, more or less. More? Or Less? Shumi took the new Bajaj Dominar 250 out for a spin to find out!

Easy to convince the parrents🤣 the important box is ticekd 🤣
Every motor journalist in India should look up to this guy. The only guy in India who reviews genuinely without any dramatisation.
Manas Agrawal Thank you so so much! 😁🙏🏽
@@shu_mar Big fan sir. Delighted to see you again.
Manas Agrawal Thank you Manas! Good to be back at it! 😀
@@shu_mar u deserve bro 😊
@@shu_mar i miss your friend Karthikeya's review.. but yeah you guys do a very professional review..
This what we called an best auto journalist , from DBZ to engine crankshaft he knows everything , this comment is only for him not for bajaj dominar 250 , hatsoff to his knowledge ❤️
Thank you Somesh! The truth is a colleague told me about the DBZ reference -- it wasn't me. I don't know that much, but I have a great team that helps me look and talk like a hero! :-D
But really from now onwards I'm a big fan of you and your team 🙌🏻 😉
SOMESH JADHAV Thank you! 😊
@@shu_mar @shumar hello sir..sometimes I open the video only for your screen presence. And if you do the review....also I am confused on jawa 42 and dominor 250.. pls tel your suggestionss
Only PowerDrift can use a Japanese anime as a reference for an Indian bike review & pull it off successfully
Thank you very much! Can't agree more! :-)

@@shu_mar before buying Karizma zmr 10 years back, the only review i saw was yours. If you remember, it was a comparison between Karizma zmr vs P220 'overdrive'😉

HA!
One like for DBZ reference and of course for shumi's impeccable review.
Hey thanks for that compliment Chetan!
Then I want two likes! Come on now, don't be stingy!
Same here...i am also a dbz fan
@Harshit Arora You are right! Vegeta and Goku did, P&G only did a demo fusion dance! Rohan and I will demo a fusion dance at the next PDArmy meet to make up for this!
have to follow u on insta for the dbz reference...😂..and no extra Marks for the review because its awesome like all your reviews
So called auto journalists, this is how NOT OVERACTING looks like.
No... Not fake accent
Not unsuitable adjectives
Not useless jargon
This ☝️ Just this. Learn.
😊 Thank you!
PD is actually notorious for everything that you just mentioned..
@@pranavp386 exactly
Anytime anyone has a remotely different accent, all you twats complain about the "fake accent"
Got Dominar 250 a week back. Very happy with the motor cycle. Its comfortable and smooth. Gives a mileage of 39.4 when riding below 70 kmph even before the 1st service. Its just a little heavy which is good for the highways and there is a slight 'tick' sound while changing gears but it should vanish after the first or second service.
Would you recommend it for a first time rider? Looking to learn
Shumi reviewing a motorcycle is always the best thing to watch.
The bloopers though, just a cherry on the cake!!
Glad you liked it Abhi!
Thank you Abhi!
Bajaj should have used 250 platform as upgrade to ns200, instead of downgrading dominar brand.
Disappointed by bajaj
But powerdrift u rock as always.
Oo that might be interesting!
So true, the pulsar brand desperately needs an upgrade and bajaj could've garnered high sales from a pulsar 250 while keeping the dominar as the premium heavyweight.
What can you say, Rajeev Bajaj has gone nuts these days.
Aman Soni my sources say the next generation Pulsars will arrive early 2021 and solve some of your concerns.
100% agree with your point that they could have come up with NS250 instead

This review is like a short movie , can watch it as many times without getting bored !!!
Thank you Sai!

Yaay! We're always hyped up to meet you guys!
Thank you Sumit! It was very very cool to be out riding and filming! And now, to be here chatting with you!
It was a long wait but worth it DBZ reference made it different from other reviews... that's what PD is known for being different and unique.👍
Thank you Ravi!
Always ❤️ to watch powerdrift videos.....Big 👍 to shummi sir.
Thank you Ashok!
Bajaj: Haathi matt paalo.
Again Bajaj : let's make a 250cc bike that weighs 180kgs.
That. Is. Funny!
This guy just goes and comments the same thing on every Dominar 250 review😂
@@anandusnath6759 yes! And it makes sense each time 😂
Well said bro
@@PavanMS87 😂😂
Awesome! But the stone beneath the sidestand was noticeable! :)
Ahahahahaha. The bike looked to titles on camera so we had to do... 😆
a proud dominar400 owner since 2018❤️ although i believe that bringing down the dominar to 250 segment isn't really justified, they should have rather upgraded pulsar to 250 and let dominar be in the elusive 400 segment
It's 2022 and they have done it now.
I think it was a great move atleast for someone like me who wanted a tourer like dominar but with some better mileage. I Thank God this bike exists.
@@sannidhyasinharoy655 well now that they have indeed launched pulsars in the 250 category, my 3plus years old comment makes more sense i guess hehe..
and yeah D250 is a great choice even today

Thanks 💯! :D
@@powerdriftofficial you're too fast with the replies dayum
PD is full of magicicians!
GREAT TO SEE YOU BACK SHUMI SIR....... YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST !! CHEERS !!!!!1
Thank you Santosh!
Bought the Dominar 250 a month back. The kerb weight for city rides and while riding in small lanes can be felt. Apart from that its a superb bike in that range.
My two dreams in one frame 5:44😍😍😍😍😍
It's been 2 years for me riding this bike now. I usualy go on long trips 300 ~ 500kms a day about twice a month. Never got a second thought about purchasing it. Just love my bike!
Any feedback on the Turning radius and weight when riding in traffic ?
It should have been at least 15 kgs lighter!
Nevertheless, Dominar is a fab platform!
All Bajaj bikes weigh well over their rivals in respective segment.
A 140kg 125cc bike from them. Huh,
15? The Gixxer is 24kg lighter!
@@shu_mar Why does Bajaj make heavier bikes? This has been the case since 2001, when the Pulsar launched! It's direct competitor - the legendary CBZ - was very, very balanced and weighed about 12-13 kgs less, if I am not mistaken.
NS200 is actually faster than this one
@@AbhiKohli oh man that CBZ was a gem...And that black yellow contrast... Performance was also top notch...
Feels soo good to see Powerdrift and Shumar sir back on the roads...
Thank you Gnaneswara! It is AWESOME to be back out and riding!
That DBZ reference was so surprising, and spot on. The bike even has Goku's colors. Great review as always!
No one reviews bike as good as @powerdrift! Informative, technical!
Thank you Himanshu!
You look very similar to Obama🤔

Been Following Shumi from his Overdrive Days, Still at his best. More power to the team.
Always love to see Shumi on PD. I'm sure it's gonna be a great video. As resolution is limited to 480p on smartphones, I'll wait for an hour till I get my hands on my laptop cuz PD videos deserve to be watched at 1080p & above ♥️

Awesome review! And Shumi sir, you inspire me in many ways, right from studying and observing bikes to talking about them without much drama so that each and everyone understands what the bike's all about! I wanted something similar to D400 but with a bit smaller heart is in my list. Then this steps in, although not available at showrooms near me, but thats where Powerdrift helps. Explaining each and every bit of motorcycle!! Great video!
Thank you so much! Would share this with your friends? Helps us a lot!
@@shu_mar did it already!
Finally after a loooooooong time got to see a video like this during lockdown.. 🤟
Good work Pd

Good to see you back outside and doing what you love and do best @shumi 😼👍🏼
Thanks Uttiya! How are things with you?
@@shu_mar the same old, wife doing her work on testing covid19, while I have to drop her off then come to my work and again pick her up when we are both done, as we are avoiding public transportation. The situation is not getting any better as there are a lot of new riders and bicyclists on the road these days who don't understand how traffic rules work. Being extra careful, on the road and off it too. Hope you and your loved ones are doing well too 😺💐
typical powerdrift review.. its feel so good to see a new powerdrift video on bike..... btw what is that black thing that shumi sir was wearing?? looks dope though..
That’s a neck brace. It’s supposed to protect my neck, clavicle and spine in a crash. See Leatt Neck Brace
It's called HANS device, primarily used by F1 drivers.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HANS_device
@@iSaurabhSri HANS is a car thing. Motorcycles have neck braces -- similar idea, completely different device

@@powerdriftofficial You know what I meant, but I'll just do that :D
SHUMI on a bike after 4 months
Great to see that.
I believe that with so many wide variety of 250s coming in , the 250cc segment is at a stagewhere 150 cc was in early 2000s.
The New Premium segment.
And this 250 cc dominor will do what Pulsar 150 did for Bajaj in 2001 - king of the segement for years to come.
Thank you Mangesh!
Well, that sure seems to be the case. Let's wait and watch how it fares!

Deffnetly very good motorcycle from bajaj.
And very nice camera work in this video, beacuse the RGB is perfectly balanced, bike looks beautiful.
Thank you very much!
The video was amazing. Happy to see u guys back after long period of covid. Congratulations 😁😁😁😄😄.
Well the dominar 250 is very good option who wants a accessible touring bike that can be used also as a city bike .to be fair its a good product from bajaj. I think the new dominar 250 sites between the gixxer and duke 250.its comfortable, easy to ride, has decent performance and milage as well. Although i wish that the 250 could have been came with wider tyres especially the rear, chrome finished wheels, and that similar looking instrument cluster. But what i think that bajaj hasn't add this things because of keeping cost in check .
We can't wait to compare it with the rest of the 250s. Hopefully soon...

Either 400 or nothing.
Dominar 400 was a sleeper performance bike and absolute VFM. 250 could have been labelled Pulsar 250 and no one would have minded.
I thought d250 was around 1.8 on road
Few people got it for 2.11 which is absolutely scrap. Or it is dealer who is cheating.
Dominar 400 is basically a cheaper heavier slower d390. Dominar 250 is a cheaper d250. Bajaj has done a good job at marketing the two brands very differently but in the end they are all more or less same.

Glad you liked it Abbijeet! Cheers!
Thank you!
Never go for bajaj bikes. Dont settle for cheap. Ive made a mistake buying RS200 settling for the price and now realising should have gone with KTM's.
You would have suffered equally with ktm too 😅. They are pumping high hp no. With such small displacement.
Wats the problem?
Dominar is different from RS , so dont compare
I own a RS from last 3 years
& i own a Dominar400 UG as well..
I would still pick the RS if i have to go to hills.. its a much more enjoyable bike.. flicks easily.. corners hard & screams like an eagle

That fusion thingy with D400 and Duke250 was awesome.... Views abt the D250 .... It is a nice bike but not practical as Bajaj still has the NS 200 in the lineup and D400 is merely 30k dearer than it's 350 counterpart.
True but for a lot of people in this, 30k won’t be merely.
