How good is the Dominar 250's engine refinement, really, as Bajaj claims?

The first 1000 km was pretty rough for mine, but it's definitely gotten much smoother since then. I think a lot of those complaints are from people who didn’t break in their engines properly.
The real question is, is the Dominar 250 worth it for long distance touring?
29 January 2025 08:04
Absolutely! I've done a couple 1000+ km trips on my D250 and it's been a champ. They are great for stability on the highways, and I can drive all day at 100 and not be exhausted.

It's decent, but not great. In fact, there’s no wind protection, and after a couple of hours, the seat becomes quite uncomfortable. Serious touring is better off with something like the RE Himalayan.

It’s hard to beat the price. Granted, it’s not perfect but show me another bike under 2 lakhs that can tour as comfortably. The trick is to set expectations and do some minor mods such as a better seat and windscreen.

It depends on your riding style I’d say. But if you can live with a relaxed pace and don’t mind making frequent fuel stops, you’re okay with it. It’s not a bike to cover big distances quickly, at least not two up with luggage, as the power feels lacking.

It's a jack of all trades, and a master of none. It's good for weekend trips, but not for a cross country tour. After a few hours, the vibrations get annoying and the small tank is annoying.

It’s pretty solid as a budget tourer. It has upright riding position and decent suspension for long rides. If you invest in some good luggage solutions, you’re set.

It's been surprisingly capable, I've found. At highway speeds the engine is smooth and the dual channel ABS offers confidence at every condition. It’s not a dedicated tourer, but it’s versatile enough for most people’s needs.

I began with a Dominar 200 and I believe it was the right choice. The bike felt stable and the power is manageable, that boosted my confidence. And the dual channel ABS is a lifesaver for new riders.

For absolute beginners, I'd say the Dominar 200 is a little too much. In slow speed maneuvers, the weight can be intimidating. A Pulsar 150 or Honda Unicorn will be something to start with.

I don't agree with people that say there's too much bike. The Dominar 200 is predictable and forgiving, characteristics that you want when learning. It also means you won’t outgrow it quickly.

It depends on the individual. The Dominar 200 can be a great first bike if you’re a mature, cautious learner. However, if you’re the kind to walk the line, maybe start with something a bit smaller.

If only I had started on a Dominar 200. The first bike I had was a 150cc and I outgrew it in months. The Dominar would have been perfect, easy to learn on but with enough performance to keep things interesting.

I'm new rider, and I chose Dominar 200. No regrets! At first it was hard to lift the weight, but it taught me to learn good slow speed control. I now feel comfortable with larger bikes as well.

I think that's overkill for a first bike. Why not begin on something simpler, cheaper? Learn the basics, and when you’re ready for touring and highway riding, upgrade to a Dominar.
How can the Dominar 200 be made to be as personal as one wants it to be?

I've tweaked my Dominar 200 quite a bit. I added a louder exhaust, bar end mirrors and a custom seat. It’s surprisingly customizable, but sometimes it can be a pain to find specific parts.

The Dominar 200 is decent for customization, if you work at a motorcycle garage, I can say that. Heavy mods don't play nicely with the engine, and the fitment of some aftermarket parts requires modifications.

I’ve left mine pretty much stock, but added some touring accessories (a taller windscreen and saddle stays). Without losing its character, it's turned the bike into a proper tourer.

The blank canvas for customization is the Dominar 200! I’ve seen some wild builds from scrambler style mods to full on cafe racers. There’s potential there, it just takes some creativity.

I attempted to mod mine for better performance, but in reality, it wasn’t worth it. It had a minimal effect on the gains and bike's reliability. Cosmetic mods and practical accessories were what I'd stick to.
