                  Value for money bike. I think bajaj all bike is value for money but this one is unbeatable. I love this bike and I also tried bajaj pulsar n400z, this bike is also unbeatble but dominar 400 is now my all time favourite bike. If I next purchase a bike then it should be bajaj only. Thank you bajaj.

                  Value for money bike
                  Value for money bike as it have around 40bhp power and look amazing when riding on highways. I bought it in 2018 and have done 80k. Bike have good road presence and led headlight give it a beast look. Bike is amazing when ride on highways. Maintenance cost is little higher as of poor service centre as they randomly guess about the fault. I went to them 7-8 time for coolant leak issue but they failed to repair it but every time they deliver me the bike confidently saying they have repaired it, enjoy the ride. If you looking for highway, daily commuting or for long ride of upto 300-500 km in a day, you can buy this bike at this price range under 2.5 lakh but only if u have any local mechanic who can service this bike and parts available.
