Q. Which one is better Dominar 400 or RE Himalayan?
  • 2019 Dominar 400 ofcourse because RE only focus on heavy engines and they provide only air cooled engines and they don't make bikes with lots of features in this era.Buy a dominar and live like you are in 2020 in real .
  • I would go with dominor 400... you will get a lot of additional features, speed,power and look compared to Himalayan. Though it is not suitable for off-roadings.
  • For a better tank range you can go with himalayan but for better maintenance cost and good torque you can go with dominar

Q. I am using RE classic BSIV from past 2yrs now I am looking forward to skip into another one only because 350 Classic doesnot go more than 100km/hr.and in other ways I even looking into milage too.my worry is "which bike shall i buy in the category of Dominor 2019, Himalayan Sleet or Duke 250. Can you please say the advantage and disadvantages of it?
  • Obviously you can go for dominar 2019, it cost 60000 less than KTM 250, Also top speed is almost same, you will get better stability in dominar in city as well as on highway. mileage you will get around 25-30 km/l. on the other hand, Himalayan is totally different with these racing bikes
  • You may consider Husqvarna Svartpilen 250.
  • There is only 10000 difference between KTM Duke 250 and dominar 400 2019 model.Duke 250 is costlier than dominar.

User Reviews of Comparison

  • Bajaj Dominar 400
  • Royal Enfield Himalayan BS4
  • Value for money. Powerful cruiser and a tourer. I have a 2022 model, and it is so convenient to have all the required accessories in stock. I have completed 1500kms till now on this bike, and I really enjoy riding on this. The price for the power that you get is really economic. I believe in the future also this bike would hold its demand if Bajaj works on its weight, connectivity, vibrations, and power to weight ratio. The lakh rupees gap to go for a KTM adventure is one aspect. The other is the seat height. I am 180cms, and I was tiptoeing on the adventure. Dominar's lower seat height makes me feel planted and more in control.

  • It is my first motorcycle, I have not ridden a motorcycle before in my life, my previous experience is with a small car and a mountain bike. I started three months ago, now I do routes of 40 minutes to an hour, in the city and on the highway, my maximum speed based on my little experience has been 150 km / h maximum, both during the day, night or light rains and storms, at the moment very noble very docile when you control your clutch and throttle well. In short, YES IT IS A GOOD MOTORCYCLE FOR BEGINNERS, it depends on your motivation to develop your skills and ride, in my case I can tell you that the best thing is to hit the road.

  • Dominar 400 ug is great bike from bajaj i use this bike on daily basis as well as on long jurney/ tour.. i love the performance n handling of this bike especially the high speed stability of this bike the crusing speed of this bike around 90 ti 130km. Talkin about mileage i get around 26 to 28 in city & 38 to 42 on highway or long tour..The only thing i dislike of this is center/ main stand since its a sports tourer it must have one... the USD front fork n soft rear suspension offer great comfort n ride quality 👌 the up right sitting position of this bike is great for daily usge as well fr weekends or long rides...

  • I rate my bike because I am in love with it..even though it weighs 182 kg it handles the twisties sort of nicely..the ride comfort is awesome,the 10led headlight offers best in class illumination..let me tell you one thing,if you want a bike between the high on track duke 390 and the simple bullet 500 the best choice is the dominar.but there are things which are lacking like the gear indicator and stuff.p.s:my bike is bs4 and it's in canyon red

  • The bajaj dominar i own since 2018 april blue colour one.Perfect for city ride and touring also bit of off-roading.Much comfortable in all road sometimes a bit stiff the front one.If you have the 2020 edition this complain also not there.I use to get descent mileage about 30 to 35 and in city 28 kmpl.Perfect touring bike with the affordable price and a power cruiser.

  • Have not been regular with riding last two years as I have been out of home due work. But the rides I have done has been issueless. Apart from weekend rides, I have made a trip to Leh, transporting my bike from Calcutta to Chandigarh by road, and same way back, riding the rest. It's a bike which I found very stable on the worst of roads. No issues anywhere, as compared to the many problems with my partners. But what I understand, and what I believe is, biking or even driving, needs a finesse which most of the experienced riders/drivers lack. If you live your bike or car, which all men do, then show the love not by cleaning and polishing it everyday, but by riding or driving technically in the correct manner. Keep the machine healthy from inside, and your vehicle will never let you down. We started from Leh, back to Manali, no petrol pump for the next 300 KMS. By evening, all were sweating, their fuel indicators not even moving and stuck at the E symbol, and yet to reach the next petrol pump another about 30 KMS, the first one since we started. It was only me who was laughing on all, as my tank still indicated half tank. All opened the tank to check levels, had their theories of wrong indication. But at the pump, my bike actually took petrol just more than half to to up. All during the ride I had tried to tell everyone about riding correctly, technically, understand the engine limitations, follow the recommended procedures and not apply self created theories, to which no one listened, but the last return paid off my tips, at least to me, and set the example for my friends. I love my bike, the Himalayan, though people have their grudges about it. I do agree though, the quality of the materials used to make the bike could have been better, but again to keep such a competitive price for such a machine must have been a challenge for the company.

  • Best adventure touring bike below 2 L in India. Mine is 2018 non ABS version of snow white and I've covered over 15 k km with my Himalayan. Off road ride is like whole another level of awesomeness with this bike. During the free service period each service costs around only 1000 rs. Ease of handling in city is too good. I get mileage of 36-40 in highways and 30-35 in city + highways and around 28 in city use. I'm 6 feet tall and its sitting posture is very good. Standing and riding is too easy if you want to stretch your legs. Note : If you are not getting above 30 mileage then check these things regularly- 1. Tyre pressure.2. Use clutch only when needed.3. Do not accelerate like a racing bike. It's not. Its's a RE bike.4. Best speed range for Himalayan is 60-80 km/hr.

  • Just bought it in november 2019 BS4 , Dual channel ABS. Loved it so far. Comfortable and amazing bike. Looks dashing on road, people literally stare at you. I have done quite a few modifications on it like guards, panniers, handle bars and it looks awesome. Have done quite offroading since I bought it, and it just goes anywhere you want. Riding in a metro city is a problem due to heating issues but I usually take it out on weekends for rides so not an issue for me. Go for it.

  • My place here it's bad roads and no roads everywhere. That is the reason I bought this bs4 Himalayan. So far there is no engine trouble, and the bs4 exhaust note is special while commuting. I bought this Himalayan as a reward for myself, and it is worth every penny. The torque is perfect for my native terrains, and I am still exploring. Ofcourse, It's a trip machine.

  • Bike is the most sturdy of all bikes.Does not slip on any type of terrain even on potholed roads.Handling is on the heavier side, And stable at high speeds of 100.Top speed is 120 kmph.Its a pleasure to sit on the himalayan and drive non stop for long hours.The beauty of this bike is it fits every type of requirement you may have for the bike.
