I agree... before i bought my duke, the bajaj & KTM showrooms are adjoined where i live and i test rode them back and forth.... i am upgrading from my father's 150cc motorcycle, hence granted even the Dominar 250 seemed impressive and the Dominor 400 felt phenomenal....but after i test rode the Duke 250, i mean lets just put the Dominar 250 out of the equation first...don't get me wrong...Dominar 250 is the biggest VFM you can get in any motorcycle, but i had the budget to flex, and after riding it's older & bigger sibling, the dominor 250 just vanishes out of the equation...so now to settle between the Dominar 400 & the Duke, let me admit it straight away, the Dom 400 is a better VFM product, its faster and yes it has better LEDs and to put the cherry on top, it's even cheaper than the Duke 250 making it the ultimate all rounder....but, my friend...i don't know what it is...once you ride the Duke 250, be it the handling, the looks and hence the oomph that comes with it..the fit and finish and thereby the built quality.....i can't exactly point a finger on what it is, but the moment you ride it, it just puts a wide ass smile to your face, all that practicality and VFM quotient just fades away, for me at least it felt like that click moment, i gotta own/ride one of these or i'll not ride at all....thats the magic of these KTMs...and i swear i am no KTM fanboy...we have had honda's in our family mostly...the dom 400 is mighty mighty impressive and a better value proposition, but if value is not what you're looking for, but rather character and excitement, then the Duke sweeps you off your feet like no other... sorry for the long read, i got really passion driven to tell my tale... have a nice one, cheers!!!
Completely agree with you. Both bikes are best. But we cant buy both. Thats the reason we compare and choose the one which gives us more happiness. It all depends on affordability. If you have more bucks buy ktm, less dominar. Both gives almost same experience.
You actually said what i felt after riding dominar 400 and duke 250 both. Dominar is super vfm but when you once ride duke 250 it just get your heartbeat faster.. Its actually VFM vs HEART voice
Dino, we can clearly feel the love that you have towards your father, and tributing all your videos to him is reminding us of the role and impact of a father on his child.
Nonsense i went to buy a duke 250 but its the seat is not comfortable there are people who tour on it but even they will.mention its not for regular long distance trips..now havr no choice but to wait for 25o adv or go for baja dominar 250
Dino's videos very technical and to the point,,,,thanks Dino,,,,, the flow of thoughts in the video makes it easier for the viewers to get better understanding and choose the right bike!
Yes pulsar bike is good India brand and dominar high power top speed high dominar bikes engine cc 373.3 cc engine , BEST BIKE IS DOMINAR 400 and good looking,
Amazing comparison video, Dino Bhai! Very well said too! I do love the grey colored Duke. It definitely looks classy and is a good refresher from the usual orange-centered color scheme.
Hope Dominar 250 next year version will come with aluminium swingarm, 43mm front USD forks, gear position indicator, 150 section radial rear tyre & last but not least 155KG or max 160KG of kerb weight. No issue with price increase. It will be perfect bike with better mileage..
At that pricepoint I feel Dom 250 needs to be compared with Gixxer 250 Street Fighter too. The Gixxer is similarly priced, great all-rounder as reviewed by the man himself (Dino if anyone is still wondering) and is a cool 18-20kg lighter than Dom 250. I'd say Gixxer trumps if your budget doesn't allow for Duke 250. Looking forward to your views on this.
Between ktm 250 bs6 and mojo... Which one u think is a better option for city traffic rides and long rides?? Any pros & cons for the bike u select between d two..
Hi Dino... Which bike has a better ground clearance? ... one fact I hate is when the bike brushes against road or rocks. That to me is the deciding factor. So pls provide the detail and exact figure. Dominar has 157 for sure but the Duke??? Because some say Duke250 BS6 has 151mm and some say its 185mm. Basically I am a person who is hoping to ride in the city daily... but would be doing long ride every 3 months, some times driving 450 kms in a day. And my only options are NS200, DOM250 & DUKE250 for various reasons. Asking only to close-in on my decision
Gixxer is best among 250 ... when all the points are taken in consideration... very good performance ( almost same as duke 250),,reliable,,easy to maintain,,good price,,looks are also not bad its good.. Fz is good but outdated and less powered.
C what I wnna tell u all youtuber is when u compare bikes and bring thins kind of video .it's become essential to the comparison the after sell service,service cost details.
