                • Pros
                • Cons
                • Bajaj Dominar 400

                  • Muscular styling still makes it look like a big bike
                  • Excellent headlight makes riding in the night quite easy
                  • Engine has a lot of performance on tap so cruising at 100-120kmph is pretty much effortless

                  Yamaha R15 V4

                  • TFT console is feature packed
                  • Razor-sharp handling like a proper sport bike
                  • VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) makes the engine very tractable at city speeds
                • Bajaj Dominar 400

                  • The 373.3cc engine enjoys being revved out and it demands a fair bit of gear shifting when riding in the city at slower speeds
                  • 193kg kerb weight makes it quite heavy and you’ll feel it especially at slower speeds
                  • For about Rs 8,000 more, you can get the Triumph Speed 400 which is better finished, looks better, is easier to ride, handle, is more exciting and comes with Triumph’s much more premium badge

                  Yamaha R15 V4

                  • Aggressive riding posture might not suit everybody
                  • Headlight spread is a bit narrow
                  • Not the most comfortable for pillion riders
                  • The R15M top variant is quite expensive; costs almost the same as some 400cc bikes

                  excellent bike
                  It is an good bike with good performance also an good riding posture, mileage is good. Headlight is also very excellent for the night ride, its easy to see things in traffic. It feels very heavy and gear shifting is problem but at highways cruising at 120 to 140 kmph, It feels very easy and also came in control quickly.

                  Bike with a legacy
                  I want a bike which is sporty but can travel long distance and bajaj parts are easy to fix and affordable, all service centre always fix any issue plus this bike is comfortable yet very powerful and agressive One drawback is when I need to take turn i need a huge turn radius which make it a Little uncomfortable with that weight although it's a very sporty and aggressive bike I love everything about dominar I would definitely recommend this bike to those person who are responsible and have a capability to tame a horse like this cause it's a horse with legacy and strength which need a strong human to handle it properly

                  The Bajaj Dominar 400 is
                  The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a powerful and stylish bike suitable for highway cruising and long rides. The engine performance is strong and the design looks premium. However, the weight of the bike makes it a bit difficult to handle in city traffic and mileage could have been better. Overall, it’s a good option for those who love performance and touring, but not the best for daily city use

                  Some basic things...
                  It got a powerful engine, sharp and bulky looks, handle pretty well on twisted Comforts decent for long rides and breaks down their job.it's stable at high speeds and does okay in corners. I as a rider love it's ability you will get a muscular looks with sporty design with LED headlamps and a digital instrument cluster with a affordable price. Overall, its a great mix of performance and value for money .

                  Pocket rocket on the roads
                  It has great features and has the power. Riding it never feels lonely it delivers the exact amount of power. I was more into sports bike category so I went for r15 v4 which is economical and yet powerful. The ride quality feels great till now being a sports bike comforts lack on a side. But the outcome of engine makes you feel driven. It delivers more than it should. Handling on R15v4 is good at high speeds. I never felt under confident while cornering and high speeds. I would recommend this bike to the ones who are more into sports bike as the comfort part on this bike lacks a little bit but as is a sports bike. It has decent amount of power which you can actually feel while riding it.

                  Good bike and recommend
                  I chose this bike because the design was very good and my friends had some sporty bikes. So I wanted to have one. The engine was also very good and my father suggested me this bike. I trust Yamaha and I know their bikes will be good The ride is good and I overall like the bike. The bike has pretty good comfort but after a long ride your back is going to pain. The bike is good for short rides and I will recommend it to the youngsters. I will recommend this bike to the youngsters out there because this bike will suit them very well but the mid aged people can drive it but not for every day use maybe for small trips and for riding for fun.

                  Almost ok bike
                  It's style, mileage. Its style is undoubtedly spectacular, the best sporty look along with best mileage. V4 is mileage king compare to other sport bike. Back side mudguard not strong. And indicator not strong even looking dose not match to the bike... Highway driving is so good, best mileage, driving is amazing, handling is so aggressive that feels the best experience. And mileage is undoubtedly the best. Quick shifter is not actually performing.. I will rate 1star.. Sometimes coolant dose not perform. Indicator should be strong, enhance Bluetooth connectivity, seat should be comfortable. The 1st thing that break is indicator that should be installed with a strong form.. Projector light should change it's not lighting much.
