I think that price is the bottom line. Should they price the RS400 very much higher than the Dominar, they would have enough distance to avoid direct competition. But if the prices are close to each other, it may be a problem.

Will the cannibalization of the Bajaj Dominar 400 sales happen by Bajaj Pulsar RS400?

It shouldn’t be too big of a deal. The Dominar and RS400 are targeted at two different kinds of riders. The Dominar is a sports tourer more while the RS400 will be a pure sports bike. Bajaj has room for both in its lineup.

It's definitely a concern. Both are 400cc bikes made by the same manufacturer. Unless Bajaj really differentiates them in terms of riding position and features, they could be competing for the same customer.
