Bajaj Dominar 400 has got a agressive design which is Leo inspired and has got a decent ergonomics which is good for a tourer, the bike gives you a premium feel while riding, the rear mudgaurd is a bit mess, as far as I concerned instead of rear mudguard tyre hugger can give a stunning look, the auto head lamps with LED lights adds another extra points to the looks.
When it comes to performance the power delivery is very linear and it will be absolutely fun to ride in highways, it has got 35nm torque and 35bhp power. you dont really need aggressive down shifting for overtaking in highway since it has the ability to produce the torque instantly anywhere between the power band, the only disappointment I felt is it cannot be driven at low speeds at higher gears you can feel the engine lugs hence it needs frequent downshifts and upshifts in the city ride comparing to other premium segment bikles and I have tested the fuel economy accurately, it falls somewhere between 30-35 which saves your purse from slimming, the slipper clutch does its job well. The shifting is pretty smooth and nothing is there to complain on it.
The bike weighs 182 Kgs which make it a midsize tourer, although it weighs more you dont feel that once you get on it, in highways it gives you a stable ride which boosts our confidence level, the biggest bombshell for me is although the bike is big it gives you a good handling in city. The exhaust is bassy gives you vroom vroom sound and I am happy with it because I am not a big fan of dug dug and turr turr sound form RE and KTM bikes.
