Bajaj recently gave the Dominar 400 a comprehensive update, including premium underpinnings, more features and a re-tuned engine. All this was done while still keeping the pricing competitive at Rs 1.74 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
On the other hand, the Royal Enfield 500cc range hasn’t seen any update in a while. While there is a new and updated version of the Classic 350/500 in the works, it is scheduled to launch later this year. The slump in the sales of the 500cc range can also be attributed to the launch of the 650 twins.
