Bajaj Dominar 400 Price in Chikkaballapur

I don't think I can saying anything new in this bike that the world doesn't know. But let me try
Confidence inspiring: A lot of people talk about weight being a -ve, and it is, however when you hit the highway, if you are like me coming from 150cc, this bike will give you so much confidence, it got the ergonomics right and the suspension absorbing small-medium potholes, it is just so easy to ride. I don't think any 400 CC bike (a couple of years ago) would compete with this on that. Either they are too aggressive like Dukes or very tame like the REs
Certainly a looker: This could be subjective, however when I compare the styling with others in this segment, it certainly looks really cool and this is something i have heard from people around us. When travelling with my friends in ADV 390, REs, Domi always stands out, that is a feel-good factor in buying this machine
Comfort: Whenever the talks about Domi, the statements start with weight/vibrations and end with the engine. However, comfort according to me is more important than the former. I can say i felt extremely comfortable riding long in this bike. It revs hard and absorbs undulations so well that you forget you are riding on bad roads, its only when we stop for a tea break other riders complain about how poor and horrible the ride as you realize that you are driving a superior machine. This is also due to the better seats available in the bike, At first i felt the seats were hard, however after many rides i understood the need for high-density foam and how thankful my bums feel after a day out
These are pointers from my ownership and glad to say i made the right choice, there are so many motoring channels that don't speak of Dominar but they always come back to vibrations, take a test ride for at least 25 kms if possible and then decide. Just remember there is no perfect bike, it only depends on what you want from it and does it delivers that to your satisfaction, Opinions can be from anyone but decisions must be based on your satisfaction and happiness and nothing else. After all, if you don't get what you love, why at all?

About the Reviewer

It was love at first sight with the Dominar after I rode my friend’s bike in 2018. Finally bought the BS6 tourer in 2023 that was readily available with the dealership and took delivery after 2 days. Needed a day to get used to it but once I had control, it was an amazing feeling with me falling more in love with it the more I saw and rode it. Have been on long rides (3800 Kms) and the bike just goes on and on without complaining. The only challenge I have is in terms of service as not many knowledgeable techs are available in Bajaj and the oil used isn’t great for the bike.
