Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!
Can you guys confirm whether its having SOHC not DOHC?
so far i have noticed its mentioned in Bike dekho as its SOHC officially.. in zigwheels its some user who mentioned it as SOHC.. bajaj dominar site doesnt show it as a SOHC.

fullmoon, I don't mean to dissuade you from choosing a bike you like to buy. I'm just placing what facts I know on the table.
A lot of things can change the engine character, from gearing to camshafts. Please understand most Indian manufacturers are years away from producing an engine in house which can rival the sophistication of Japanese and European motorcycles. The ns 200 had a Duke 200 motor, with some differences. Similarly, the Duke 390 engine was shared with Bajaj as part of their agreement. Now, everybody is free to buy what they want, that's the beauty of good competition.Leave a comment:

[MENTION=27501]rreneav1987[/MENTION] just use earphones and don't worry about engine soundOriginally posted by rreneav1987 View PostA Single cylinder 690cc or a 1290cc V twin engine..
Provided, if KTM launches the Duke 690 and Super Duke 1290 in India
For long rides, D400 will be comfortable.. no doubt.. it has a well padded (foam) seat for both the pillion and the rider.. and I am quite sure it can do 120 kmph all day.. Only thing I am concerned about is how the engine will sound after riding continuously for say 200 kms without a halt.. The old pulsars make horrible noise
, if it performs well.

A Single cylinder 690cc or a 1290cc V twin engine..Originally posted by fullmoon View Post@rreneav1987, whatever it is, Dominar is much more refined and hopefully comfortable for long hauls than ktm duke 390. who knows, as you said bajaj may launch within 2 years, a 650 cc twin cylinder or 1300 cc inline four cylinder at less than 75% cost of their competitors. I am waiting

[MENTION=58594]leech[/MENTION],now i saw that ktm duke390 has dry weight of 149 kg coupled with fuel it would come around 157 kg compared to kerb weight of Dominar that is 182 kg. So Duke 390 is 25 kg lighter. but engine feel is totally different in Dominar compared to ktm 390Originally posted by leech View PostLeave a comment:

Which means, it isn't a newly developed engine, right? newly developed engine would require R&D.. if they are using some part of KTM, then it isn't developed by them..
But that triple spark plug.. <3 <3
I appreciate Bajaj taking a huge step and selling affordable high cc bikes.. waiting for them to launch a Dominar 1300RLeave a comment:

Re: Bajaj Dominar 400 Launched at 1.36 Lakh with 35Ps and 35Nm!
Just to save some part of R&D cost and some money because of part sharing with duke 390Originally posted by rreneav1987 View PostBasically it uses a new engine not the same as KTM's 390..
I don't understand "Bajaj developed a 373cc engine" why didn't they develop a 500cc engine or a 300cc engine.. why particularly 373cc engine which is the same as the KTM's engine..Leave a comment:

I don't think anybody except chinese companies can think of making a 400cc liquid cooled engine with fuel injection at this price.Originally posted by leech View PostLeave a comment:

I know; however the immediate discussion was about the engine. The price got me thinking about the engine, the tech inside.Originally posted by Naveen1985 View PostPlease appreciate what you are getting for 1.36 lacs only...

[MENTION=58594]leech[/MENTION],bonda engine? yes honda gives us old bondas. I accept that honda refinement and long term reliability is good and dominar would not match it. I am an ex-pulsar user and using honda cb unicorn for last 4 years.I hope it will serve even more with the same honda reliability. Even though Dominor could not win awards like 250, it would be suitable for touring at reasonable speeds and even would be good for 4 or 5 years/ 50000 kms. Many of us are upgrading bikes every three or four years, in that case dominar won't a bad choice for those who can afford it. CBR 250 r with ABS is a good bike,but it is out of my budget.Originally posted by leech View PostLeave a comment:
