Too little, too late I guess.. Looks radical in this Kawasaki green. It's anyday a better buy than the ridiculously priced Duke250. Love the new machined mirrors!
I admire bajaj listening to customers feedback and delivering a even better product. Update might be minuscule but it's still an update done mechanically as per customers need other than visual updates with old tech.
minuscule? damn son... what else you wanted? a twin cylinder or completely new bike? they literally changed everything that mattered...usd, engine power, engine tech, exhaust, gears, braking, Instrument clusters, color....
As someone in the comments said previously, this is most probably the only Bajaj that I would buy... true VFM bike in a market with lots of bells and whistles.
Dominar is much more badass than Duke 390, in my head it's like that Hooligan who has become calm over the years, grown bigger, but if you open it up...YOU know what a hooligan he really is. Duke 390, even with all that power and so less weight feels like it needs to prove itself. It has anger management (heating) issues, it's short tempered (frantic power delivery) and it doesn't really behave (doesn't go slow).
@@MrAdrafiq it's not about being an Indian or being dramatic about anything. The truth is that none of the motorcycles above 2 lacs are practical, we buy them for their individual "dramatic" character. If there's no character in a bike, nobody would pay a substantial amount for it. You don't like my expression of the Dominar? Go buy a Splendor, and get a dramaless bike.
I'm a Royal Enfield Lover ... But the Dominar has always surprised me ... Great performance ..great looks and extremely Capable 🤗 And the performance figures are Amazing 40Bhp 35 Nm 😱 VFM motorcycle
It's out of place talking about the dominar not doing well due it being heavy, vibey, and having a not so good suspension when comparing it to the ancient relic known as RE classic 350. The problem was that the Dominar was not meant for the kind of people that get an RE classic. Those are the kind of people that just want to make noise and show off and not do much else with the bike. The Dominar is meant for those people who just want a precision tool to do the work, namely tour vast distances in less time and in comfort and that the Dominar excels at. It's a fantastic tourer (except for the small fuel tank). That's the market that Bajaj should have targeted right from the start. Bajaj is doing great with bringing in updates regularly as compared to some manufacturers whose updates are just skin deep or shall I say paint deep.
...dominar 2019 is the best bike ever to be made by bajaj !!...finaly I have started liking this brand !! ...hats off to bajaj for such a great machine !! 😍😍😍😘😘😘😎😎
Dominar is on the Indian roads for 3 years now. Waiting for the new 💓 throbbing beast Pulsar RS 400... Can you please let us know when will RS 400 be launched in India?
Kumar Sourav niw u see fr urself.... This is the difference between normal bikes n bikes of RE.... Wch never get old n ppl buy it every month n every yr in same nos. ..... Whereas its been 3yrs n u r saying that its gotta little old, similarly now u r getting excited abt RS400..... Wch ull feel gt old in some yrs.... But ull still see same new RE classics on the roads.... N these words r true..... Its simply that no one can defeat RE
Such a pleasure listening to Ruman’s review! This is the first video review of his for me and it’s good to see his writing style is carried over to the video format as well. Been enjoying his reviews since BSM days and was no different now! :)
Dominar is jack of all, master of none. Looks like commuter, has an engine from naked sport, tries to compete with classic old schools. Since its so confused about its targetted audience, audience is also confused about it. I think Bajaj should consider the engine the way they considered 200 cc from KTM earlier. Same engine, but 3 motorcycles equipped with the accessories for the targetted audience in mind.
Dominar is definitely the best choice available at its price segment and even beyond. It is expensive, but fairly priced for what it offers. The bike is visually stunning and has a truly beastly mascular look with comfortable stance and riding position. It is insanely stable on the highways even at very high speeds beyond 110 kmph and inspires a lot of confidence. This bike is not the best choice for tight traffic conditions demanding sharp manouverability, yet it is an immense pleasure when you get open roads and chances to rev harder or accelerate. Overtaking with the Dominar is a bliss and it returns a decent mileage of 33-35 kmpl if driven smoothly. A speed range of 80-90 kmph in the 6th gear delivers the best mileage. I own a Dominar and I'd say it far far better than all the REs combined, except the Continental GT, which I haven't laid upon my hands yet. Definitely a must-own bike if you have money and good roads.
Good thing that Bajaj rectified the issues of the previous model. Not all of them were fix but at least now it has a gear indicator, usd forks and lastly, that green variant does look cool!
Everything is fine.. except the fuel tank capacity should have also increased.. morover if u tour & use a tank bag, forget the 2nd instrument cluster..
Bajaj should really follow the nexa, Honda big wing concept where they sell their higher end bikes at a premium showroom, imagine paying 2.6 lakhs for a bike and giving it to service next to a bunch of ct 100s
Finally a freaking gear indicator on a bajaj bike! Iam impressed!, fuel range, dohc setup, new color, all are good. Just wishing an adventure variant of this comes soon. Common bajaj, you can do it, if you think! Still even now adv bikes under 2 lakhs is still very limited, Himalayan is the only one and Bajaj can surely give some competition if they think so.
nice bike,but did not like the silencer and the alloy wheels.it would have been good if it had the silencer of the previous version dominar and the alloy wheels of pulsar 220...
People who choose this bike for touring will fell happy and sad at the same time . If the rider uses a tank bag then he should forget about second cluster 👎.
Like I have always told everyone aaround m, instead of picking fights with bikes of other segments, Dominar would have sold crazy if it tried to create a segment of it's own. A Heavy naked sporty like dominar is no way gonna compete with retros and that's a shame for dominar to be competing in that segment. Now bajaj realized it I suppose and is moving more towards the sporty side than the touring side. Dominar can tour alright but it's a high revving motor and it's only for people who like duke 390 or R15 will like the engine not for someone who will be the thumpers.
True. Instead of going for those shitty 'haanthi mat paalo' ads, Bajaj should have gone for better touring based ads that captures the true essense of the bike and its purpose.
How was the riding ergo? Is it as comfortable sitting on established touring bikes or a little bit crampy for 6 foot guy? Tell me about your thoughts thank you.
Any information how soon can expect launch of BS6 engine bikes ? Should there be concerns that initial bikes may not be able to deliver a good performance, as most bikes have to undergo major transformation of carburetor to FI, and that too with strict emission norms of BS6 ?
Bajaj has thrown all premium parts in this beast ,These new looks sexy like z800 ,1000 .. power is also good 40ps better then other bike in these segment...bajaj is improving but its lil bit late for what they saw on atu expo 2013 here the same bike ...but its here what you say about it should upgrade to 2019 ???
I have a boxer 150x will never sell it, it's a pony, kind, warm, reliable, working motorcycle,, I like the Bajaj, the price, the quality is very good, I think to take the Dominar, came to the salon and Dominar No, well buy, think spring buy, the manager said that the best buy the boxer and Dominar Greetings From Russia
Why not bajaj reduce the seat height of Dominar 400 ? With 800 mm its too much for short rider who is 5'5 or below. Short rider had a real problem in city traffic especially in hilly areas. Foot rest also need to move little forward if the bike is meant for touring long distance. My brother always had a tough time during city traffic.
This is how the 1st gen dominor should have been, Bajaj were too busy mocking RE rather than understanding what an enthusiast really needed. Big question would be would you spend 1.8L on a Bajaj?
Bajaj should make it and promot it like one of its kind...not a competition to RE or any other bike.. it will create it's own fan following and market....I think !!
imagine if it could release pulsar RS400 what it could be whether the dominar D400 can develop the performance by launching BS-VI and also the instrument cluster would be in the same design and different driving modes and its colours

Dominar no needs sales strategy..
It's own breed fans and shining name of the indian bike in the world..
"Great job good work"👍
Seeing the thumbnail... i thought it was some Kawasaki!
Mee to 🙂
PRO GAMER99 ironically, it is.....
i swear dude... i also felt the same😂😂😂
Kawasaki is known for it's green color
Ur not wrong buddy✌️
But bajaj is kawasaki bro
Waiting for this video a long time Dominar fans hit like👍
Too little, too late I guess.. Looks radical in this Kawasaki green. It's anyday a better buy than the ridiculously priced Duke250. Love the new machined mirrors!
overall better than Duke 390 too this have 5bhp more power than old dominar
cast mirror stems not machined
If u think Duke 250 is expensive, then u shouldn't look for Kawasaki .
1st ride both duke 250 and domi 400 .....duke 250 is far better than dominar 400
I admire bajaj listening to customers feedback and delivering a even better product. Update might be minuscule but it's still an update done mechanically as per customers need other than visual updates with old tech.
minuscule? damn son... what else you wanted? a twin cylinder or completely new bike? they literally changed everything that mattered...usd, engine power, engine tech, exhaust, gears, braking, Instrument clusters, color....
Dominar is a fantastic bike. All the best Bajaj
Just because it is not a pulsar,it doesnt sell.Have it been renamed to pulsar cs400 it would have been a craze.
Right
Couldn't help but agree!
😎😍😎
No. if it was named pulsar, it would have sold lesser. Pulsar is more like splendour now
As someone in the comments said previously, this is most probably the only Bajaj that I would buy... true VFM bike in a market with lots of bells and whistles.
I've been owning one since last March..such a VFM product with excellent touring capability...👌
Does it vibrates too much?
Dominar is much more badass than Duke 390, in my head it's like that Hooligan who has become calm over the years, grown bigger, but if you open it up...YOU know what a hooligan he really is.

Like the guy said its a beefy every day bike with all the new equipments
Very true👍
Green colour in dominar looks amazing... waiting to buy the green dominar 2019 edition..

Sir these video is shooted in pune on national highway 48 am i right????
Yes

Sorry couldn't wait this long already bought Himalayan 2 months back living happy with my bike
Booked Already! can't wait for it to launch..
Good thing that Bajaj rectified the issues of the previous model. Not all of them were fix but at least now it has a gear indicator, usd forks and lastly, that green variant does look cool!
I agree. They should have given these things when it came out few years back.
when the Bajaj releases the new 2019 dominar 400 in the Philippines?
The review of the bike in itself does not over sell or over promise. Very crisp review indeed. Super composition and delivery. Hats off to you sir.
Everything is fine.. except the fuel tank capacity should have also increased.. morover if u tour & use a tank bag, forget the 2nd instrument cluster..
The think I love about Dominor is that it looks big and rugged and the body panel looks goods, it's just the exhaust it sound weak
Bajaj should really follow the nexa, Honda big wing concept where they sell their higher end bikes at a premium showroom, imagine paying 2.6 lakhs for a bike and giving it to service next to a bunch of ct 100s
You are the first guy reviewing this bike
"its not so much about bajaj selling u a better bike then it is about them selling u a better dream" best line to describe dominar..
Bro, are you facing any engine guard
quality issue?? Pls tell me if any other quality issues is there??
Has the coolant mixing with engine oil issue been fixed in this edition
I will buy it because it is an Indian company,made in India🇮🇳🇮🇳
Akarsh Katiyar exacty we as indians should buy indian products
Like japanese people buy japanese products
And koreans buy koreans

Sir.. what is the exact top speed in 2019 dominor...by comparing to older one...wheather find any vibration at 6000rpm? ...
nice bike,but did not like the silencer and the alloy wheels.it would have been good if it had
the silencer of the previous version dominar and the alloy wheels of pulsar 220...
People who choose this bike for touring will fell happy and sad at the same time . If the rider uses a tank bag then he should forget about second cluster 👎.
They have provided few hooks under the back seat. It can be used for carrying luggage.
There would be after market custom tank bag for this dominar with second cluster, so not that of issue, there are many things to praise.
I will buy this bike definitely but why the are not releasing it....😠
Because they're releasing it later this month, lmao
Wen it is realising
Chose not to increase spark plugs 😂
....only brand in the world that uses 3 plugs !!😂😂😂
It's not so much about bajaj selling you a better bike, it's about bajaj selling you a better dream... So true!

How was the riding ergo? Is it as comfortable sitting on established touring bikes or a little bit crampy for 6 foot guy? Tell me about your thoughts thank you.
I'm 5'11"-something and I fit absolutely fine
Is this bike worth the money? Or there are other options I have?
I don't want a classic look though (ex: RE, Jawa)
@ autocar India plz mention the on road price ? & It's delivery starts from ?
Does it have raised handlebars unlike it's previous generation?
Does it come with a DOHC engine now?
Yes it does. Said so in the video!
yes
Yes
Yes it's DOHC engine now
Yess broh
Is the seat height decreased???
Further anything around 1.7L is value for money. Fingers crossed
Hi Autocar India: You guys would know when this new Dominar 400 would arrive to Latin America; for example to Colombia?
The colour looks sooo muchh cooll, the new dominar isss awsmmmmmm
Any information how soon can expect launch of BS6 engine bikes ? Should there be concerns that initial bikes may not be able to deliver a good performance, as most bikes have to undergo major transformation of carburetor to FI, and that too with strict emission norms of BS6 ?
A good middle weight cruise bike. Impressive numbers. Abs. Fat tyres. & close to heart.
Really a cool bike , Powerful , stylish ..... I don't know why people are not prefering such a strong bike.....
Bajaj has thrown all premium parts in this beast ,These new looks sexy like z800 ,1000 .. power is also good 40ps better then other bike in these segment...bajaj is improving but its lil bit late for what they saw on atu expo 2013 here the same bike ...but its here what you say about it should upgrade to 2019 ???
Bajaj should have included the big tank
It already has 13 litre tank it's OK
maybe because it will increase more weight
my friends had toured on this bike to laddakh, whole east india, bhutan...never had to face the problem...so its still good to go
Well then, had they done that, people would have complained about the increment in its weight.
i agree
Very nice review
Suggest me which bike Dominar 400 or Apache RR 310 is best in city and also in highway ?
As u had reviewed both the bikes ...
Love dominar 400 it's a value for money and it comes with awesome power
Superb bike. 👍 from a bullet lover😃
bullet ki vibration 🙏🙏🙏
East or west royal enfield is best
Hatii mat paloo
Kudos to the new generation of #d400 feels proud to own one! #hyperrider #dominar #beast #meanmachine #ilovemydominar #bajaj #makeinindia
This bike has everything,
a complete package for rider in good price, almost 40hp machine with good looks ⚡
It would have been better if they had launched an adventure tourer based on Dominar !
If that were the case, the normal one's sales would have dropped even lower and would end up getting discontinued.
They wont, as the 399 adv will come first.
The domi wold become a proper adventure tourer with aalll the highperrider assessories in it
Did they raise the handlebar height? We heard rumors about it. If they did, could you provide some comparative figures?
What about the pillion seat is now better r same as old rough and hard ?
RE is a classic styled bike and dominar can never replace that Bajaj should have tried making some thing retro like Yamaha XSR series instead
Bajaj do not have legacy
I have a boxer 150x will never sell it, it's a pony, kind, warm, reliable, working motorcycle,, I like the Bajaj, the price, the quality is very good, I think to take the Dominar, came to the salon and Dominar No, well buy, think spring buy, the manager said that the best buy the boxer and Dominar
Greetings From Russia
Nobody designs bike like bajaj..
Yamaha
It is worth to buy dominar 2019 ??? Please help !!!
Why not bajaj reduce the seat height of Dominar 400 ?
With 800 mm its too much for short rider who is 5'5 or below.
Short rider had a real problem in city traffic especially in hilly areas.
Foot rest also need to move little forward if the bike is meant for touring long distance.
My brother always had a tough time during city traffic.
so tall riders dont get any bike isnt it?
there are many bikes short riders Can purchase but tall riders have a issue
This is how the 1st gen dominor should have been, Bajaj were too busy mocking RE rather than understanding what an enthusiast really needed.
Big question would be would you spend 1.8L on a Bajaj?
Most underrated bike.sad!!
Underrated? Lol
Beacuse of bajaj... 😅
Awesome narration and whole video is just informative and enjoyable
This beauty looks gorgeous... It has resemblance of Ninja
Elephants yes . Crisp and sharp review . Good one .
No doubt Dominar is a wonderful bike. It is favourite indian .
Can we put on gear display for 2018 bike can you tell me plzzzz sir 😕😕😕😕😕😕😕☹️
Is there an long term review of dominar 400?
IT HAS MORE POWER THAN (DISCONTINUED) TATA NANO !
Why they are not providing Gold coloured upside down fork... It would have been more appealing.....
Bajaj should make it and promot it like one of its kind...not a competition to RE or any other bike.. it will create it's own fan following and market....I think !!
I liked its bigger headlight casing. That is my personal test. Nope Dominar I still love you at 2019.
plz do some changes in headlam just like beneli or dule
"keeping the number at a healthy.. umm.. threee.... " -- burst into laughter..
I own the 1st gen dominar 400 (2017).... Is it worth changing/upgrading to newer dominar 400?
NO
imagine if it could release pulsar RS400 what it could be whether the dominar D400 can develop the performance by launching BS-VI and also the instrument cluster would be in the same design and different driving modes and its colours
How fastly releasing new updated facelift...Good work by Bajaj
Is there any other colour combination??like rock matte black??
Im 6 feet and 1 inch and 95 kg Weight...Will this bike suit me?
Launch date?
Kindly let me knw is the motor BSVI compliant.
Nice comprehensive review bro 👍👍👍
Thanks Prashant! It isn't BS-VI compliant yet, but Bajaj says it won't take a lot more work when the time comes.
Yes indeed it is
Obviously.
Yes BS 6 compliment
yes
But is the 2019 dominar happier in the crowded city compared to the older model. The older model was a pain in the city and pleasure on the highway..
Did they do some changes with gearbox
I have a Dominar and I gotta admit I'm jealous!
Bajaj should make 200cc on dominar platform with usd suspension
