I am currently owning a Unicorn 160 and am planning to upgrade my machine. I mostly ride in City roads and occasionally tour (300 - 400 km on average). I also have my wife as my pillion most of the times. I have a considerably aggressive riding style and am 5 11. I am looking for a motorcycle with following requirements :- I need a good powerful machine which makes my upgrade worthy. - As I said, it should be considerably comfortable for City rides and for occasional tours with pillion comfort as well. - Mileage is not much of an issue, I will be happy with 23-30 kmpl range.- I have a budget of up to 3L; if it really worthy for my requirements, I can see if I can stretch it. - Good service (I live in Chennai) - No specific bike types; I am okay with cruisers, sporty ones, commuters or anything at all, as long as my needs are fulfilled. With these things in mind,I started looking for options. Given the pillion need, I ruled out KTM Dukes and TVS Apache RR 310, BMW G 310 R, Yamaha YZF R3. I test drove Jawa 42 and found it to be okay. I am currently heavily considering Bajaj Dominar 400, since it pretty much sufficiently covers most of my needs. What do you suggest ? Do I need to look for other options as well ?

Q. I am planning to buy a bike but I am confused between Jawa 42 and Dominar 400(2019). I liked the Jawa because of its light weight, low seat height, easy manageability, mileage and peppy engine but hated the waiting period and all accessories to be paid. About Dominar I loved its power, led the headlights and modern technique like upside down fork, 3spark plug, DOHC etc, but I hated its poor mileage and heavy weight which makes it cumbersome in traffic as its not at all nibble. So kindly suggest me which I should go for. For reference my height is 5.5ft and age is 37years but still single, mostly ride solo, the place I live is hilly terrain.
