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. Read More
This is an excellent bike and had great fun riding. The back seat is include along with the bike. Had 1250km run including office travel and long rides and it has been fun doing both. Great comfort. The sheet metal grey gives a batmobile feel and experience. Looks damn good without the back seat, I generally carry it in my backpack.Read More
