  • Alright, it’s time to separate the Marketing hype and pit the Royal Enfield Himalayan against the Bajaj Dominar machine to machine. How does the ABS equipped new and improved 2018 Himalayan stack up against the seemingly reliable Bajaj Dominar?

    Great video as always. Every motorcycle has its own quirk and not all have same opinions on individual quirks. Even though I own a himalayan I still do appreciate the look of dominor and affordability compared to himalayan. But if someone asks me if I'll trade himalayan to dominor, I'd say no... I might some day try and own both together😝.

    RE Himalayan is a stunning motorcycle except for usual issues concerning RE brand. But it's more of a specialist, as you said. Meanwhile, Dominar is a jack of all trades. Well played by Bajaj and it worked. You see Himalayan on the road once in a blue moon. Even the Ladakh saw more Dominars and RE Classics than Himalayan. For some strange reason the RE 'Tiger' is not selling well. RE introduced Himalayan with lot of flaws and it cost them the fortune. But as usual, Great review and comparison. Kudos.

    • @TheSavantLife
      @TheSavantLife  Před 5 lety +3

      Yes - spot on. Like they say, "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression". I think RE still hasn't been able to undo the damage of their less than stellar outing with the Himalayan. However, it's also a bike for a specific niche so you can't expect it to be a runaway success - I just hope it finds a loyal following among the die-hards. Thanks for stopping by as usual!
