Hugely confused between a Gixxer 250 and Dominar 2019. I already ahve a 200 NS and there lies the dilemma. Dominar 2019 wud give me the same stance and is almost a similar looking bike. However, for Same money its giving a load of goodies and it seems to be a proper upgrade from 200ns. Though i am worried about the vibration, especially since my ns do vibe on a particular rev range While Gixxer sf 250 looks stylish, has a nice punch right from the low range, and the satisfaction of riding a full faired bike. And of course the refinement will be much better than a Dominar. Care to throw some light On my confusion?
@@shibadipdhar857 go for Dominar over gixxer 250 if you want a faired bike with almost similar performance like Dominar then go for Apache 310 because if you pick gixxer then it's gonna be similar bike performance like your NS. So either pick Dominar if vfm is your concern or pick Apache if you want a faired powerful machine.
I own this machine , bought in the second wave..... 45+days + 2200km...... 5 things you would love 1.Suspension 2.road presence 3.headlight 4.Acceleration 5. I don't think any bike
do you feel a lot of vibrations over 140km, and have you gotten used to the bike weight - is it easy for you to flick now, when compared to the first time you rode it
In my opinion this is very powerful motor cycle for Indian roads and we can sacrifice that little vibration for price.every bike has negative points I am not Bajaj fan but I have to convey my opinion.
It’s a shame that you did not mention about the slipper clutch. Some like me would be interested to know your comments on it because I know that you’re the master of rev matching.. Hope that you will always insert slipper or assist clutch on other bikes that you’ll test in the future. I enjoy the way you ride the test bikes with rev matching downshift. Higher quality and volume on the exhaust would be great too when you ride. Thanks.
Need assistance urgently!!!! What's the inflated speedo percentage on 2019 dominar. Last model had 5% Meaning actual speed 150 but speedo showing 162. Please reply
I want to upgrade from 2016 RE Classic 350.. what is your opinion about the changes in ride quality that I will feel if I take it for long rides of 12-15 days? I have done Ladakh (2016) and Bhutan (2018) on RE Classic 350..
Hi Strell, Good review of the motorcycle. Would like to know what is the RPM in 6th gear while doing a constant 100 km/h and is the redline (max RPM) 10000 RPM ? and I see sometimes the Max RPM light starts glowing at around 9500 RPM itself
Is this bike suitable a 6'2'' rider....another concern is how is the seating comfort in case of long rides for 3 hours or so. Do your legs ache due to seating position and is the seat soft enough for long rides
Hi bro....I little confused to this 2 bike....dominar or cbr 250....mileage is little consurn...plz advise which one better for both city and mostly toure
I am not a fanboy but... I need to tell something.... This is a single cylinder 373 cc engin... with a compression ratio of 12:1 (correct me if i am wrong ) It is natural to have vibrations dont compare it with the more boring counterparts in the market... Even the less power full less displacement, more expensive bmw310 twins also have vibes... Vibes can not be considered as a major problem... Every one is considering it as an inefficiency of bajaj... it is not even possible for the Japanese counterparts to make a 4stroke single cylinder 35+ cc engine that has a compression ratio of 12:1 and does not vibrates... Adding to the point it is a rental motorcycle there is no sure it will have gone through good run-in period and maintananse
Thanks for your comment :) You are correct that a single cylinder 373cc will produce a decent amount of vibrations. But my suggestion was to do something about the vibrations which gets carrying on to the rider. I have to agree your comment on BMW :D . And this motorcycle has done run in period correctly, because they rent motorcycle after first service and I took the motorcycle just after the second service. I am neither a hater nor a fan boy :)
It's shocking that no youtuber has focused on the fact that this bike (2019+ UG variants) pulls toward right when you leave the handle bar. Heavy exhaust ( Due to inbuilt cat con) is the reason.
Bro I wish to exchange my 2018 model Himalayan with the new dominar. Is that a good decision. Seldom I do offroading, so I need more of a road motorbike.
Thanks for d nice review..iv been riding fz for quite sometime n wanna upgrade to ktm 250 or dominar 400..i live in a hill station n hardly tour..pls advise.. thanks
as u said.. can anybdu really get 35 mileage in this bike.. I get 55-65max.. smhw in Hornet than people normally het 45 max... So is quite confused between D400 2019 and upcoming guccer 250 naked.. as price differcnce is 30k max.. but will be madeup in maintenance cost and mileage as heard D400 cannot give 30kmpl max. where as 250cc japnese can easily give 35 and 40+ like fz25 saving fuel cost in long run.. but if d400 2019 can give 35 then not much costlier as compared to 250 gixxer.. plz comment.
Bought the 2019 Dominar two weeks ago. I am facing a couple of problems (First service due). 1. Goes into Neutral gear at very low speeds. 2. Was disbalancing at speed around 110 on Expressway. 3. Handle and front wheel don’t seem stable at around 70 kmph. Feels like it’s loose. Maybe anyone could comment.
Hi all... I own an Avenger 220. But I feel out of place when riding with my gang cos I cannot keep up with them! Africa Twin, (X2) Interceptors, KTM 390, Pulsar AS200 and a Mojo. Would getting the Dominar make much of a difference as far as keeping up with the pack goes? Or am I wasting my money?
There is some heating issues as well as the coolant level is decreasing and I don't know why? Are u facing these problems?is it normal as my bike is new and will be okay after 1st servicing?
Bigger wiser , less vibration , better tyres , new console with new colors is needed in new dominar now , yes ride by wire too . Can we expect an update soon ?
perfect words you said .Exhaust system unwanted modification from bajaj comparative older version it's Extra noise pollution I don't know how to get ARI approval . and also indeed reliable review from you. keep it up congratulations.
just got mine in philippine province and it has the power and acceleration all the tiny bikes don't...yes the back brakes really need stomping to work and the front are very easy and good...Would and will have more aggressive tires but the clear street sport type are good we just have lots of rough roads here and those street racing tires are not good.. People love it and stare and reving it does turn heads...tiny compared to california home but for islands it is a great bike. Freeways we do not have more than a few miles here. Stop too hard and up against the tank go your balls lol which is painful lol. Comfortable and smooth and no vibration through handlebars and is a totally amazing low cost little rocket.
I hope to see you doing this kinda reviews with 200CC bikes of the market too... because the RTR 200 and the NS 200 has a lot of buyers these days. And both of the bikes has great potentials to become the "do it all everyday machine" in my opinion.
The vibration is lot less and a lot better according to a lot of riders compared to similar single cylinder engines and similar weight bikes. The Upside Fork makes a heavenly difference. Unless we are nitpicking here.. 125-140 kms cruising is an absolute joy. The screws can be replaced with SS screws and a visor, handle bar raisers would make a world of difference. Also the MRF tires are pretty bad. Replace them.
Guys I'm in need of suggestions in choosing between 3 bikes Dominor 250, Gixxer sf250, fz 25 Which one will be good as a first time buyer moving from splendor to 250cc,
From a 250R, both of these are going to be an upgrade from power perspective. Dominar -> More comfortable, more luggage space, more pillion friendly Duke -> More torque and acceleration, more fun, much agile for city use
Bro m 5'6 and i've been riding cbz Xtreme for past 3 years . Should I buy fz25 or dominar. My only problem is pulling the bike backwards . Is dominar too heavy ?

Actually I'm a great fan of Dominar.. I'm wait for your playlist strell

I own this machine , bought in the second wave..... 45+days + 2200km......
5 things you would love
1.Suspension
2.road presence
3.headlight
4.Acceleration
5. I don't think any bike
If you bought it in Karnataka what's the actual on road price and which showroom you bought in from ?
@@itsraahul Coimbatore,TN. onroad 2.11L (one year premium+ 4year third party) 2.21 (five year premium)
@@itsraahul RV Bajaj, West Bengaluru - 2.38L
Why too much cost in Banglore?? In Mumbai it cost around 2.11 or something
do you feel a lot of vibrations over 140km, and have you gotten used to the bike weight - is it easy for you to flick now, when compared to the first time you rode it
4:59 Instead of solving the vibration. They tried to solve mirror problem - Savage 🤣🤣
i think u can't solve vibrations for single cylinder engines like dominar 400
Use some soft material between the gap that might emit less vibes
or rubber mounted engines
@@schiavoneph6238 man bajaj has vibrations no doubt thats why go either with suzuki or honda if u want good refinement
In my opinion this is very powerful motor cycle for Indian roads and we can sacrifice that little vibration for price.every bike has negative points I am not Bajaj fan but I have to convey my opinion.
Just keep bike well maintained. Lube chain, change oil at 4k kms, service at time, vibrations will be mostly gone.
It’s a shame that you did not mention about the slipper clutch. Some like me would be interested to know your comments on it because I know that you’re the master of rev matching..

Bought the 2019 Dominar two weeks ago. I am facing a couple of problems (First service due).
1. Goes into Neutral gear at very low speeds.
2. Was disbalancing at speed around 110 on Expressway.
3. Handle and front wheel don’t seem stable at around 70 kmph. Feels like it’s loose.
Maybe anyone could comment.

Should I buy this or rr310 pls tell i am confused
Hi all... I own an Avenger 220. But I feel out of place when riding with my gang cos I cannot keep up with them! Africa Twin, (X2) Interceptors, KTM 390, Pulsar AS200 and a Mojo. Would getting the Dominar make much of a difference as far as keeping up with the pack goes? Or am I wasting my money?
Africa Twin 😂 Seriously mate ! Get a Duke and smoke everybody else !!!
There is some heating issues as well as the coolant level is decreasing and I don't know why? Are u facing these problems?is it normal as my bike is new and will be okay after 1st servicing?
My coolant got reduced around 300km but after refilling till now no problems... ridden 2200 km
Could you do a comprehensive review of suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and further compare it to the dominar
Can i ask if can change clip on bars?
Engine is smooth... compare than 2017-18. model..???
Bigger wiser , less vibration , better tyres , new console with new colors is needed in new dominar now , yes ride by wire too .
Can we expect an update soon ?
Upcoming any dominar 400 on 2020 any idea about because I want to buy it so I ask to you brother
Brother what's the OnRoad Price of this one in Karnataka ?
Nicely explained Strell.
Is Apache rr310 premium price is justified over Dominar????
I'm 163 ..can I ride it comfortably with this heavyness
Dominar 2019 or Duke 250 please suggest
*DOMINAR 400 HYPER RIDING* 💚
What about the gear shifting? Is it smooth?

What is the best bike for 5.4 ft. People??
Im really confused between this and bullet 350 gunmetal grey, which one is better for city riding small highway rides?
Dominar 400 any day
Bro if you want to ride slow and steady then old Thunderbird 350 not x other wise Dominar
perfect words you said .Exhaust system unwanted modification from bajaj comparative older version it's Extra noise pollution
I don't know how to get ARI approval . and also indeed reliable review from you. keep it up congratulations.
Hello sir. 155cm height person can ride?
Can you tell us about the gear box
Means have you felt sounds when you are changing the gear I think it's some kind of annoying sound
It has a clunky sound while shifting, but the gear box as such felt good to me.
Bro how is your 650r and what is the insurance cost
just got mine in philippine province and it has the power and acceleration all the tiny bikes don't...yes the back brakes really need stomping to work and the front are very easy and good...Would and will have more aggressive tires but the clear street sport type are good we just have lots of rough roads here and those street racing tires are not good..

Stop too hard and up against the tank go your balls lol which is painful lol. Comfortable and smooth and no vibration through handlebars and is a totally amazing low cost little rocket.
Can lowering front of bike helps in handling
Which exhaust you recommend for this?
I hope to see you doing this kinda reviews with 200CC bikes of the market too... because the RTR 200 and the NS 200 has a lot of buyers these days. And both of the bikes has great potentials to become the "do it all everyday machine" in my opinion.
kicker option is not mentioned
Make comparison video on both
Bro plz make seated a 5.3"or5.4" guy in this bike i mean if this height people can ride this or not plz its a request to u

Schoolil poya porayirunnille bro?
you didn't talk about the "trimmer under the crotch" vibration...
Which one is better Dominar or Mojo ??????
The vibration is lot less and a lot better according to a lot of riders compared to similar single cylinder engines and similar weight bikes. The Upside Fork makes a heavenly difference. Unless we are nitpicking here.. 125-140 kms cruising is an absolute joy. The screws can be replaced with SS screws and a visor, handle bar raisers would make a world of difference. Also the MRF tires are pretty bad. Replace them.
You mean those speeds in the speedo, or actually travelling in those speeds. That would be 140-155 in the domi speedo.
Which tyre would u recommend ?
Hi Strell, why doesn't dominar start on gear like other motorbikes? I think it's very inconvenient in traffic to not have it.
Decrease a gear or two and it should start
Guys I'm in need of suggestions in choosing between 3 bikes
Dominor 250, Gixxer sf250, fz 25
Which one will be good as a first time buyer moving from splendor to 250cc,
Gixxer 250 for me ^_^
Gixxer 250 for me ^_^
I have a cbr 250r will this be adequate upgrade or the duke 390 will be better choice..
From a 250R, both of these are going to be an upgrade from power perspective.
Dominar -> More comfortable, more luggage space, more pillion friendly
Duke -> More torque and acceleration, more fun, much agile for city use
Hii bro do a video on electric bikes and tell us which bikes are on market , domestic and premium bikes..?!

Bro as ur a big fan of royal brothers, just say that how much they charge for this kind of big ride bikes ??? 🤔🤔
My new 2019 dominar starts to redline after 5.5k rpm ??? no idea why !
Thats normal. It open the rpm from 5.5k to 8k after 2000km. If its not opening, contact service center. Wishing you safe ride 😊
So satisfied to hear the flow of your words. Lovely
One doubt. Apo rendu video cheyumo for both english and malayalam video
