    I usually try to avoid lengthy arguments and debates here, not sure what made me waste my 2-3 hours of my life there. My apologies!
    On topic, I am curious about the way it is being promoted-
    I see the Dominar page on the Bajaj website says-
    "For those who are willing to prowl on the dark lonely streets when the others burrow in the safety of their beds.Only the big boys play at night."
    So they are going to promote it targeting the street subculture-drags, races at night et al?
    Has there been any ads on TV or newspaper? Was their any mention of the touring potential of this bike during the launch? I think the only thing where RE and Mahindra score over Bajaj is that there is no ambiguity in the positioning of their products. They clearly say they're touring bikes and provide add ons(panniers, mojo tribe etc etc).
    whatever bajaj marketing is doing its working. or should i say its good product so is getting attention (hype).

    for placement of product they said its sports cruiser. my guess is its upto you to decide what you wanna do with it. its too heavy to be legit sports bike. slightly aggressive seating for fully being cruiser. but can fulfill both roles depending on rider.

      Some reviews have mentioned that the alloys are sturdier to tackle bad roads. Any more info on this?

        One awesome bike at this price tag... Love it.. Not test ridden it yet...!!!

        I came across this in youtube as i regular watch the videos of the bike..!!! Bad to share this thing..

        At 0.04 and 0.14 u can watch the dripping of Coolant drops near oil filter...!!!!



        Still.. A great bike in my opinion, Hope Bajaj will rectify such problems...!!!

            Guys, this appears to be a good overall package but does anyone know how may pink notes are needed for this bike?

                  took a test ride today. here are my impressions compared to R15 version 1:

                  power: an upgrade over r15. was afraid it would be close to pulsar 200ns or r15 cause its low on power and high on weight compared to duke390. happy to report its closer to duke than pulsar 200ns. not mind blowing like duke 390 but there is urgent surge. you wont ask for more power in India.

                  handling: i took same corner 5-6 times continuously and each time my confidence was rising. its not as sharp as r15 but holds line well and offers no surprises or twichiness. handlebar is wide and gives good leverage. pegs are wide set and far from each other but tank gives good anchorage. tips in without too much force. tires more grippy than michelin pilot sporty i am using on r15 currently but likely not as grippy as stock r15 tires.

                  suspension: definitely more soft than r15. didnt corner hard but for road usage in India, should suffice. you really cant push r15 to its limits on road in India. dominar would suit average rider like me fine.

                  comfort: comfier than r15 version 1. no surprises there. compared to himalyan or mojo, pegs slightly rear set and handlebar a bit lower. gives good feedback of road below and much more confidence inspiring than those 2. does not feel too heavy in traffic or moving aroud in parking lot. is managable.

                      i think so. felt like that. secondary console means you cant put a tank bag anyways.

                          its kinda useless. bajaj could've done without it. shows only warning lights like temperature, battery, abs, side stand etc. and a bajaj logo.

                          looks cool though.

                              Which means we can use a tank bag. But not a Magnetic bag!! Unless the console displays something very useful!
