Q. 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 ?

This is best bike in my opinion.My friend have dominar 250 and i have driven.The power of dominar 250 is awesome.Now i want to buy this 400 cc bike.

I have been riding the Bajaj Dominar 400 for over a year now and it has been quite the powerhouse with a wholesome touring experience. Fitted with a 373.3 cc engine that pushes out 40 PS of power, this bike is built to rule the road. The bike accelerates smoothly with its mated 6 speed gearbox and the slipper clutch is a gift in heavy traffic providing a non tiring ride.One aspect I admire is the twin channel ABS that ensures great stopping power adding a layer of safety to each ride. The digital instrument cluster is crisp and adds to a modern riding experience.

This is the most carzy bike i have ever ride (unexpected power, Look was just damn all over its just mind blowing) best and the beast bike of this segment

The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a popular bike in my colony and i owned it . It claims me a mileage of 27 kmpl which is not that much which my brother expectrd from it . Talking about the safety dual-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a standard feature. It lacks additional safety features like airbags or traction control that might be found in some bigger bikes . It gives you many options in colours which best suites your style (Vine Black, Aurora Green) .

I got 25 to 30 kmpl of mileage because it is a very powerful bike with very heavy weight but in the corners the weight feels highly. The suspenison of this bike is quite stiff but absorbent and the stability is outstanding and is nicely balanced bike and can go to a long trips without any problem. If you are a touring person then bike is excellent choice because the weight is heavy which is good for highway and touring but the city use is not good with this bike.
