When I bought first time
When I bought first time it was so cool and gives me more what I expected. later I feel milage dropping even though on good service, it's feel okay for me now, gives me good comfort seating and good performance. Good for long traveling feels like sitting on sofa and I'd prefer Bajaj dominor 400 for preference. Comparative to all other bikes it gives to good feel maintain bike of you are buying this. Recharge oil properly. Clear your bike regularly and maintain regular chain cleaning and lubricating. When I bought first time it gives my around 40/liter for milage. Now it's about 30 to 35 on cities. If you are looking for good budget friendly with good approach dominor 250 is preferable with no doubt.

The Bajaj Dominar 250 is a great option for those looking for a powerful, feature-rich, and affordable touring bike. Its smooth engine and comfortable ergonomics make it perfect for long rides. However, it may not be the best choice for off-road enthusiasts or those seeking a more agile bike. Overall, a solid choice for beginners and experienced riders alike!
