I am boughg it in 2024 and riding it for 8000kms now..its a great bike with everything you want... Absolutely you need good riding skills or buy lighter bikes... You can ride 130+ anyday.. it is damn stable and feels king of the road
I have been using this Dominar 400 for 2 years in Malaysia. My longest ride was a round trip of 3,000 km from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. This bike is quite reliable and can easily cruise at 110-120 km/h on the highway at 7,000 rpm. The fuel consumption is also good for a 372cc engine, giving me between 28-32 km per liter.
With good riding skills, dominar 400 is hoot to ride, in cities as well. It never felt as heavy, cause chassis balance is phenomenal. Road grip, handling predictability, breaks, comfort and presence are good too. Riding it on zr rating tyres, further improves the handling.❤ing it.
Exactly.. i didn't get it when he said for a 2024 model being "porky"... It's far better than what it used to be during earlier years. If you are comparing it with something like a 650 or something... That dum*.... And comparing with the NS400 that is just outrageous, dominar is sports touring and NS400 is a naked sports... NS200 is a sweet spot for me... NS400 is no longer a naked sport(as it is using dominar's engine and not KTM)
It's high time for Bajaj to update this motorcycle. If they do not update the whole bike, at least they should add the safety features like corners abs, etc, and they should ad at least 2-3 new colors, which should include a red color.
While I agree to the negative mentioned, I love my D400...its the only bike that gives me a big bike feel in this segment, it was easy to pay for, Maintenance is easy and after a while its easy in traffic too!
Try touring with a Pillion on NS 400. Dominor any day a better bet irrespective of the price for the space it offers for Pillion and the seating position.
I am riding a 2017 dominar. I have not spent a single rupee on it other than service and well over 40k kms. Now the sad part is i am not able to upgrade to any other bike under 5 lac cos its barely feels a upgrade.
been riding the dominar since 2018, the Og version then the UG version, have clocked more than 60k kms , even today if i have to choose a 400cc bike i would get this.. however it surely needs some important updates without which it can not survive the onslaught of this crowded market..
@theredpulsar_ nope 😄that Showa suspension of Ronin is way better than endurance forks of both the bikes you've mentioned. Scrambler 400X is an exception tho that suspension setup is amazing
@@shaarodmahanta2473 Showa is not the last word, neither is the best. What matters is the tuning. Just Michellin is not always better than MRF, Apollo or TVS - it's the compound that matters. Don't go for brand names. Judge things by their actual ability.
@theredpulsar_ There're hardly few endurance forks that performs good, I've ridden all these bikes bdw😄. Apart from using the names I've been into MTB racing aswell ik pal good ride quality always comes with better suspension's tuning and compression rebound and damping. And Kyb or Showa suspension more or less always have been better than conventional forks just like Rockshox or Sr suntour premium series are better than conventional Zoom forks in MTBs
@@ZaheeruddinAhmed-ew4ky I would personally suggest you to wait until the new one comes as for when it's still a question mark. But when the new one will arrive the stock clearance sale willl begin for the older one and you can get discounts or offers and it might be a great deal as it is happening with the Adv 390
The unnecessary weight is its biggest let down, ironically so when itself was presented to in the market to put RE down, not saying there aren't heavier bikes but it's weight comes from body parts rather than the engine and chassis,nor is the big dom a pathetic machine , but it seems that Bajaj just couldn't clear out what they want to offer, it has everything, will nearly, including intimidating looks, but just a confused thought process ruined a potential legend. It certainly could have been a new highway centric 'PULSAR' for Bajaj , a machine that comes to its own on highway and then does every other thing pretty well too , but it sadly just got confined to remaining a bike which only makes you breathe in long stretches of good road.
@ackodrive stop with your biased reviews. 193 KGs for a 400cc motorcycle is not heavy. Look around! If you don't stop your anti-bajaj propaganda, we may have to consider renewing and purchasing motor insurance from you.
@@ackodrive Which 400cc bikes have you seen, and what their weights? Both national and international brands. There is no "ideal" weight, price or usability - it's all in perspective. Your outlook towards a product is not final. Dominar is targeted for touring and occasional necessary city use. You can't possibly hold D for not offering KTM like maneuvering ability. If you do, you need psychiatrist. Can you use Harley D for dirt racing? Can you use Splendor for Ladakh tour comfortably? Get your business straight - don't upload propaganda.
guys only reason is price, ppl can adjust with suspension, handling , weight but not price especially when you have heritage brand RE at lower price, many ppl will shy away from bajaj and as a result once it flops then only few buy it,

Because dominors engine is revv loving unlike torque heavy RE

Suspension is bad?
Which motorcycle has better suspension?
For touring Vstorm sx has better suspensions even Ronin and maverick gets better suspension

What do you think is the ideal weight for a 400 cc bike? Mind you, even Bajaj knows the Dominar is heavy. Hence, the lighter Pulsar 400
