Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is the best Bajaj Dominar 400, Himalayan, Classic 350 and MT-15 Version 2.0?
  • All the bikes are best in their own forte. The Bajaj Dominar 400 BS6 makes for a great urban motorcycle, as well as packing in the performance and comfort to make occasional touring a breeze. On the other hand, Royal Enfield Himalayan Motor has (nearly) retained its output and feels just as quick, despite meeting BS6. Certain components look and feel more rugged and premium. Truckloads of suspension travel and ground clearance, as always. and Royal Enfield Classic 350 revised ergonomics make it more comfortable. The new chassis makes it easier to ride in traffic. The bike feels a lot more refined now. Moreover, The updates to the Yamaha MT-15 V2 have definitely improved its handling but the lack of dual-channel ABS and bottom-end performance, coupled with the high asking price make it a pricey proposition. For a better understanding, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Q. Is this bike worth buying?
  • Bajaj Dominar 400 is great pick. Good looks, healthy performance, competent underpinnings and a host of features. All for just Rs 1.92 lakh. If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, nothing eclipses the Dominar 400 in the sub-2 lakh rupee price bracket. The 373.3cc DOHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor has its origins in the KTM 390 Duke’s powerplant. Output figures stand unchanged at 40PS and 35Nm even after being upgraded to BS6-compliance, and the engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch. This being the flagship Bajaj product, it’s held together by sturdy underpinnings consisting of a perimeter frame suspended on a 43mm USD fork and preload-adjustable monoshock. The rear swingarm is a stamped unit. Anchorage is provided by a sizable 320mm/230mm disc brake combo assisted by dual-channel ABS.
  • At its price point. yes. it's worth the cost.

    great performance and appearance  

    my experience with Bajaj dominar 400 is not much good. I bought this bike last year and in the starting months there was no problem with the bike but after few months the engine starts making noise in between the journey. this bike is heavier then other bikes in this segment making it difficult to handle in traffic. the mileage is also less around 25-27 kmpl. overall according to me I will not suggest this bike as per my experience to anyone.

    Touring friendly bike but heavy 

    It gives more Usable And Exciting Performance than Jawa Perak and is a touring friendly bike with good riding posture but is a heavy bike for the city traffic. The highway performance of this bike is the best and 373cc engine produce great amount of power and torque but is less powerful than Himalayan but the build quality could be better.
