I still don't get why standard telescopic forks are looked down on as compared to USDs. Just because it's inverted doesn't mean it's better. Suspension should be judged based on ride and handling, not the spec sheet.
I got Gixxer 250 in Nov'20 (Diwali). Even though I was a Bajaj loyalist, the Gixxer is the better city bike.
I have ridden Interceptor, Dominar 400 (1st gen) for a few good hundred kms. The sales and service support of Bajaj was laughable at best, (book first, test ride later), the Suzuki is clearly packed together much tighter. It is much stiffer, but there is nothing that beats the 'ease of use' (no traffic slicing comparison here)
The Dominar is heavy, you will feel the weight everytime you take it off the side stand, and the low seat helps, but good forbid you have to pick up the bike.
I have done a 120kms ride on Gixxer, the bike is meant for cruising not more than 100kmph, I am 6 feet tall, the wind blast while not huge was felt a bit more due to the tall seating.
Unless you plan to do K2K rides (kanyakumari to kashmir or vice versa), the Gixxer should suffice, the weight will make a difference every time, its as easy to commute as my old Pulsar 135 on it, and if & when you choose to gun it, it will go fast enough to satisfy any speed cravings on might have.
Every single person who has ridden the Gixxer, has been left nothing but 100% impressed with the package. The Dominar isnt bad, but unless you are a hardcore tourer, youre better off with Gixxer (again this is from a Bajaj loyalist, who doesn't mind paint chipping off from every area even after the best care one can do)
Bonus point, Gixxer 250s are much rarer than Dominars in my city (Lucknow), so big exclusivity factor.
Thank you for reading this long comment.
Check the refinement of Bajaj bikes 2 years down the line n 5 years down the line.. You will understand..
The Japanese machines go on to get smoother n smoother as they age in comparison!!..
Talk Refinement n consistency in it for long time.. The Japanese are unmatched in all segment bikes in the world 😎
Proud Owner of the Gixxer SF 250... A highly underrated yet very capable performer..
Waaah🔥
Yep. It is
The bike is very under powered
No one is talking about the fact that domi is 24 kg heavier but still provide same mileage.
I know weight is in heavier side but straight line stablity is unmatchable also slipper clutch,seat comfort for rider and pillion usd forks better braking and services are better than gixer
Using Suzuki Gs 150 r since last 10 plus years. Today also this beast can comfortably cruise on highway at 85kmph with pillion effortlessly all day long. Smooth engine. Its SUZUKI.
Suzuki bikes are good but service is the worst ever
Been using gixxer 155 for the past 6 years
Suzuki only....because it makes you smile everytime you drive it....I love this bike....
Dominar 250 is good for 1. price 2. Engine and power 3. Big bike feel 4. Planted feel 5. Suspension
6. Breaks and abs quality
Gixxer 250 is good for
1. Filtering traffic 2. Short rides 3. Reliability
Finally a review that mentions the purpose of both the vehicles rather than just reading the spec sheet out. Both cater to different customers period.
Suzuki bikes are best.. I'm using Gixxer 155 from 2015 .. although service is not so great ..but bikes are too good ..
Gixxer is next level bike
Gixxer naked version 250 the best bike in all 250 segments 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The dominar 250 is a big bike with a small engine bolted on while the Gixxer is a small 150cc bike with a big engine bolted on, each has its own upsides and downsides
Gixxer is just so much better, so light and amazingly uncomplicated fun
And unquestionable reliability of suzuki 😊👍
I prefer the Dominar for its styling and ride, since it seems to be more comfortable while riding long distances.
I'm from the northeast and as you guys know the streets are usually narrow,hair pin bend,steep inclined, steep decline. With limited meters of straight road. Ok so a few months ago I was on my way to work.the traffic speed was at 12-15 kmph and there was a domi250 it was trying to catch up.as the road started going up I was sensing some lagging sound it even stalled more than 5 times.I felt sorry for that guys choice and also felt happy because my sf250 didn't bother even at such low speed to climb in 2nd 3rd gear fellas Gixxer/sf 250 shouldn't be underestimated.
Suzuki Gixxer 250 seating position make you feel to go more faster and also lean on turns 😍😍 youth will feel it!!!
Question: Why does one need gear position indicator? Do we see and drive? I don't understand this fad of gear indicators
Needed this from a long time thank you very much
This is what I was looking for Txxx - Team Autocar
A well-balanced review. Nicely done, Rishabh.
Dominar 250 with atleast 140 section tyre and 10kg less weight...it will be beast 🔥... Hope for RS250 with same engine, slipper clutch and smart bluetooth display 👄 with less weight weight ❤️
Hi… any idea if D250 is getting an upgrade? I know they just got new color scheme.
If looking for light weight then better to go with fz25 ..Dominar gives a big bike feel and is more value for money and makes more sense
Suzuki anyday 😎
Thanks for comparison. Where was this video shot?
Suzuki engineering vs Bajaj engineering..... Bajaj has improved a lot... But long term reliability has to improve a lot... But m sure one day they will have a product to the level of the big 4 from land of the rising Sun... Cheers ride safe
Bought the SCross 1.5 MT Granite Grey in Oct, getting the Gixxer 250 Matte Black in Feb.
Just in love with the Suzuki engines.
I really dont knw why people think dominar is better motorcycle cycle.....
Japanese engines dont have any comparison......
These engines last so longs whereas bajaj's engine are not last long.....
Bajaj last 40k 50k and uh can see the performance change after 9 months or 1 year.....but suzuki engines give same feel.....
Nice comparison! If someone is spending that much, I would recommend considering Dominar 400 as well :) Weight to performance ratio is much better with 150R tyre ;)
Thanks for reading my mind was searching TH-cam for this comparo today and here it is.
What do you think about japanese and Indian technology?
I bought the dominar a week ago and I m just loving every bit of it.. of course it might feel heavy a bit but when it comes to Highway cruising and seating it's better than the Gixxer in my opinion and it's good value for money too..
Can you please share the details of the shoot location looks like a ideal riding place for fun
Can you make a comparision video between h'ness & meteor....
All are saying (dominar should reduce 20kilos)
But dominar is dohc engine
Gixxer sohc engine
Obviously dohc engine are high in weight..
Tqq
The dominar 250 needs to loose 20 kilos..
The only complaint I have with my Dominar 250 is that the company should have atleast given the broader tyre or they should have given the display same as D400.🙏🏻
*Question*
Gixxer SF or Gixxer SF 250?
65% City rides & 35% touring!
If Mileage, Ride quality and Power are to be considered, what would you recommend?
Can we install big tyre on dominar?
How does the duke 250 compare?
Please single review hiness cb 350 please autpcar..
Can you please make a video on new bs6 model of pulsar rs200
that 130 section tire is a deal-breaker
When will dominar 200 be available in India? BTW new subscriber...plzz answer
Considering to the early pickup and making high speed in less time surely Gixxer is great but Domi is of its charm with less stress out engine showing no signs of submission when you pull it to the higher rpm this is what made me like Domi more , trust me guys I had test drive on both
I'll get a TVS Apache 200 4v instead & with the rest of the money, imma tour until I run outta cash!
Good review! Keep it up in English review! From PH with 👍
Dominar 250 vs ktm 250 adv ...who will win for touring...there is a price gap of 90k...is it justified
Which bike is ideal for a tall 6'1 inch guy ?
Dominar 🔥
Cinematography is damn awesome ☠️❤️
Suzuki had Good service center in trivandrum and the bike is amazing
Gixxer 250 ❤
Seriously this is an unexpected Comparison. It's good to do a video. Still I thought why Duke is not included 🤔
Suzuki Gixxer 250r is the best, a front visor will improve the look
Apart from specs and performance , Suzuki has a terrible service, especially in Chennai..
Do a detailed review of Gixxer 250 please
Can you please compare the gixxer 250 to the duke 250.
Dominar is best ❤️
Made of greatness _Gixxer ❤️
Reliability is the bigger question. Long term performance
Sir which bike has great cold starting ability ?
Domi❤️
Fantastic video.
Yamaha RX100 BS6 2021 bike review
what is the engine life of Gixxer 250 in terms of kms
130 section tyre in dominar same as ns200 looses its grip while cornering
Gixxer looking so cool
Gixxer cornering 🔥🔥🔥😎
Mai 250cc Bike Lena chahata hu.
Meri priority hai, very comfortable suspension and very smooth engine.
Avg around 35 kmpl, Budget 1.70 lakhs.
Mai ne Yamaha FZ 25 and Pulsar N 250 mein se kaunsi bike Leni chahiye please.
Do a comparison between Duke250 and Domi250
I want also a compro between fz25 bs6
Where is this beautiful location?
Recently,Gixxer 250 and 250 sf have been recalled due to excessive vibrations.. thus dominar = perfect bike
Gixxer 250 for sure 🤗❤
Wonderful review
Ns160 vs apache 160 4v plz
Do add in comparison Yamaha fz25
Where is fz25 ?
Gixxer is more fun to ride..
what !! dominar's engine refined than gixxer's engine ?? 😂😂😂
When both bikes share the screen together, I just can't take my eyes of that Suzuki ❤️ and lets admit its the better bike of the pair too...
Gixxer 250 is a gem, reliable, agile and engaging motorcycle
Always suxuki ❤❤ Japanese reliability
Which will give more mileage?
Dominar 250 or RE classic 350
Need g310R review
Gixxer any day over domi ... i won't prefer touring so long on a bike instead car
Gixxer 250🏁
These 2 bikes are more practical. If u r a thrill seeker get Duke 250, Husqvarna.
Gixxer- city use + Light highway use, better build, better response, handling, built, top speed 145+. Almost as good as undisputed 250cc king cbr250.
Dominar - better at highways, slightly better comfort, brakes feels better, sounds better, colors choice better
Now time for dominar
Suzuki is the king here 👌👌👌
Bajaj is the world's most valuable 2 wheeler company so i hope that in 2021 they carpet bomb the industry with new pulsars and dominars loaded with features
Gixxer 250 all day long
Nice review sir I like your videos
Suzuki is the best engine like pulser dominar
Gixxer 💪💪
Suzuki 😍😘
The only thing negative about Dominar is its weight.
