Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Yamaha R3
- Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
- Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
- Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
- Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike
Bajaj Dominar 400
- Upright riding position and wide seat means a comfortable riding experience while touring
- Gets a powerful and refined motor
- Dual channel ABS and larger front disc offers reduced braking distance

Yamaha R3
- Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
- No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
- A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
- The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri
Bajaj Dominar 400
- Feels heavy to manoeuvre at low speeds
- Positioning of the secondary instrument cluster means riders have to glance down and hence take their eyes off the road
- Overall ride quality could've been more comfortable

It was an memorable thing
It was an memorable thing that happened in my life were my Dad presented me a bike on my birthday. And the bike was my one of the dream bike to buy in my life. The dual led headlights and sculpted fuel tank give it a premium, aggressive look. Fuel efficiency is around 40-45 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.

Value for money king
I own a 2021- 9 th month dominar 400 which is perfect for me . If we are riding at 75 in low rpm with 6th gear . It is giving around 33 which is very good. When it comes to performance it is a devil . But need to take care of the bike like always maintain a minimum fuel, lube the chain at every 500 km , do the service at every 5000 km .
