Is the Bajaj DOMINAR 400 good on the HIGHWAY? 

This video is for all the people who have been asking me about the performance of the Dominar 400 on my recent ride to Kotagiri. Not a review, just a few thoughts based on my experience with the bike. For more pictures and stories from the trip check out my Instagram (@tollfreetraveller).

Thanks Bro. It seems like a really nice tourer. I'll have to ride it one day.

Honestly is the best policy !!😀 "In my universe" was funny comment, i have just smiled and continued watching...being a TB owner i can understand 🤣

Such a genuine view of dominar. Proudly an owner of 2017 dominar

Wake up in the morning and see toll free traveller's youtube notif... Great start 💯✨

ambient background music ( not too loud so that it suppresses the riding sound) plus the clarity vocals.......very few motovloggers keep this balance. Most of them keep the music high and just show the motovlog video, what fun it is to watch a motovlog without being able to hear any of the raw sounds captured by the camera. 🤦‍♂️ You always keep this balance at the best, its a pleasure to watch and listen to your videos. 🤘 Ride Hard, Ride Safe brother! 🔥

Couldn't be more amazing! The note in the end makes you realize that he is a true rider and respects every other rider and his ride. Any other youtuber could have fallen into the trap of making the comparision but this guy has a class.

best VFM bike till date.. & i m going to buy one next month. Just waiting for blue colour. But if that not appear, i will Go for Black one. But next month. I will be a proud Dominar Owner. 😍

Oh dude, first minute made my day❤️ Informative video, Thanks for that😊

Loved the opening scene... Labs are love!!!! :D

Make a video on how to speak great English flawlessly😂😂, your voice is so humble 😊

That's honest opinion bro, me to shifted from TB350 to dominar 400 last year and I can relate to all points you mentioned in video. I was waiting for your thoughts. Happy to know our thoughts are matching for dominar. As always loved your video... waiting for next one. 😍😍😍😍

Your travel vlogs are like parallel cinema in Bollywood, very good and hugely underrated.

At 07:20...the beautiful narration.. It just made me recall all of urs tourof2017 brkdowns...

High time man. You need to start reviewing more bikes. You will be the top auto journalist of south India for sure. You're the best and my favorite youtuber

The video is really honest in it's appraisal of the machine. I just love the last few silent lines where you have compared this with Thunderbird.

I love both..Dominar & Toll free traveller..I feel like I'm traveling with you ❤️

I really got reminded of my trip in 2007 with my pulsar 150 from ooty to Chennai via Kothgiri

Perfectly said. Being an ex dominar owner, everything you've said is very true. Sad part: I had to switch bikes as dominar gave up on me.

What I really like about you is that even if you are riding a motorcycle it's very calm and relaxing to see your videos. You are a truly unique person. The best part is you don't even badmouth other motorcycle like many other RU-vidr did, it all comes down to personal choices which bike is better and many live happily even if they have flaws. My deepest respect Sir 🙏.

Ive been seeing your videos for a long time and I have to say that you really came a long way in terms of editing, the way you present your subject and the way you stick to the subjet(most people don't do that) I'm really happy that you are following your dreams so Keep doing what you're doing...😊😊😊

One of the best reviews. A key aspect is every motorcycle is different and has its own purpose

People who owns dominor like me still watching vedio like yess its correct and feeling satisfied what he said.. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😂😂😎😆😄😆😅😗😅😆😆🤣😗

The combination of beautiful narration and beautiful scenery. A bles for eyes and ears

I agree with you. Both machines are different, I used TB 350 for 2 years and now using Dominar 400 totally different. On the other hand TB feels very comfortable posture ride seating on highways. Dominar is a tourer on highways it keeps say go go go....

This was the road that I’ve met with accident in the year 2015. Fortunately alive!

U r the best vlogger that i've ever seen...yet u appear to be underrated by people...u must have more subscribers...u deserve more than current number...

I have been following your videos for a while now, and your videos were always smooth on the eyes and the camera and editing were very aesthetic, for a one man show kinda vlog... And now we can see that you have improved leaps and bounds on the communication as well

Soothing , You deserve more subs man !!

There's a beautiful aesthetic quality about your videos which makes them up and above every other vlog out there. Lovely!

From what I hear, Bajaj has already reworked the rear suspension to make it more... should I say, supple ... in 2019 model. It should be a bit better for bad roads. I have 2018 model.

Front heavy and big turning radius. Thanks for this. Helps a lot for my decision making process

LOL think my dog taught yours how to play "fetch"!! great video again!

Thanks. Big turning radius and need to keep shifting gears were very valuable insights.

U said it man... The comparison abt TB and Domi.... i too says the same to those who compare the two....

Hi Bro, Was waiting for this video. Being a Dominar owner since 2018 wanted to know how does it feel riding Dominar being a RE owner. I upgraded from TB 350 to Dominar and loved every bit of it. I am not comparing the two bikes, just that TB was not my cup of tea. Great work. Hope to meet in future.

I was looking for some realistic words about Dominar for the past few days. And you just put it so beautifully with the perfect visuals. Btw I am using Duke 200, looking for an upgrade.

Yes in 140 as well, its well planted to roads. I love riding Dominar.

Presented this vlog very nicely Wishes from Trivandrum brother.......😎

2017 Dominar 400 ABS owner here as you mentioned its well planted, yes it has big turning radius, first 3 gears are short kinda, post that they are long, torque is awesome man u get that surge on the seat when u accelerate suddenly , and the reason it feels faster than it actually is because its heavy but still accelerates like a rocket. (Test ride the 2019 Dominar u'll go nuts 40 bhp it has better jst got best.) Best Luck bro.

Yes in my universe also fuel indicators dose not work as they are supposed to ment 😂😂😂

Dominar can do Hyper riding too bro.. any terrain any distance with some good tyres and mods Riding this beast since 2years and clocked 30k kms of happiness and adventure 😊

This bike looks like quality equipment from the video. Reminds me of the SXR. Sounds like you're having fun with it.

Probably the best intro ngl

As always a nicely crafted video. I'm not familiar with the bike you were reviewing but it does look great .

Your videos are so soothing, just love every one of them.

Very well explained about the comparison requests.... love your work . P.s where can i get TFT merchandise

Outplayed "Hooman" The Rules Changed

Was waiting for this....as a proud owner of a 2017 dominar....wanted to know what u felt of the bike....good that u njoyed it👍🙂

Dominar is really hard to controll while off-roading. It's heavy weight is not simple to manage.

As you mentioned friend the bikes have various useable factors. Some are good for short tours and some for long tours. The one's Made in INDIA!!!. 👍👍👍

Hey man. Big fan and new to the channel. Keep up the good work. Hope to meet you on a ride someday

Great review! Would love to hear your opinion on the new Dominar after coming from the old one! Also if you could share links with after market manufacturers for touring parts.

But now the 2019 and 2020 version has a way more better suspension in the rear and front The rear monoshock has been softened so off-roading is better

Quite subtle your universe !!

Watching your videos are like the calmest moments of my day. BTW kothagiri looks fabulous.

I couldn't feel anyone could put my thoughts to words in a better way...I ride a Dominar as well, 2017 model. Same Colour, handlebar has same bolt charger on the left and 2 similar red switches for the aux lights and hazard lights.......and each and every statement you made...even the choice of words...i was saying it together along with the video.....now if anyone asks me about my bike, i'm just going to share a link to this video.

Finally back to network and the first thing I do is search for your new upload! 😂 Kaza was an amazing experience. Please do the Himachal trip again man.

I feel exited to see u in my Native route of Kothagiri to Mettupalayam... 😍♥️

Sir ur vlogs make my day happy....

Feeling good to see your video ...after long time...please make more videos

You need to have way more subs. Quality content as always. You said you'd like better manouverability while taking a U turn, would the experience be worse than a tourer like your TB?

That fuel gauge pain only thunderbird owners understand 🤣

A long stroke low rpm bike should be used the way it's meant to be. Most RE owners get it wrong when they twist their throttles beyond range. But the funny thing is all the RE owners can easily afford Dominar, yet they will own REs, expecting sports bike performance.

Your place looks so clean.

Is this the new 200rs mic that you set up in the last few videos.. if yes.tgen i will order it. Dodnt want to spend 5k on the rode microphone.

Again a grt smile for me due to u☺️☺️☺️calm quiet and joyful and pleasant vlog 👌👌👌and Joy Jagannath 🙌🙌🙌

Suitable for Ladakh ride ?

Bro u deserve more subscriptions

Beautiful road .. thanks for reviewing this one👍🏻

Your videos are so soulful man! :')

Dude can you give a similar insight on the Himalayan.... similar riding experience kind of...

given like before watching this video. love you annnnaaaa!!!!!!

nice to hear from you again.. cheers...

As always, that's a great video. Have you ridden the FZ25 yet? Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

Where did you buy that traveling bag It look quite decent and premium

Waiting for ur video since long time...

Thanku for the relaxing amazing video ..❤️

Great work brother as always.👍

I was saying the same words when u said "things are a little bit different in my universe". :)

Proud dominar owner

Hi. Loved the video! Just one doubt please - Where did your friend modify the lighting and where did he/she get that windshield?

Good observation on dominor , Beautiful Sun rise , Got a question Watching in 480p there are lots of quality loss in video and shadow's , under tree's footage are more noisy , is it because of editing or GoPro settings or RU-vid Processing , TIA experiencing same issues with GoPro Hero 7

You said there were more differences than similarities, true, but say you were going to Leh again, which bike would you rather be riding?

The 2019 Dominar is such a polished motorcycle now.

Hi to the point video.... Great liked it. I have question how well this bike do with full on laugage and a pillion...any observations ?

This vlog made my day , awesome

Wonderful riding and awesome review.. ride safe

Hey. I had a Thunderbird 350 and I wanted to move to the Dominar. Since you're a Thunderbird user. I think you'd have good insight on it. I've heard about too much pain on your palm and also how's the bike for a pillion ? Will I miss the low end torque of my Thunderbird ?

Big Thumbs up for 'Kothagiri' !!

Loved your video brother 😇

Himalayan or dominar? What would u chose.?

The house looks beautiful 🙏

About gears I don't agree with you the ratio is pretty good for highways and overtaking and in twists it is better than many bikes in it's class. Rest all I agree with you

So, will you be willing to trade your TB for the Dominar?

Bro what a lovely road to ride is this 👌😀

Is that your house bro!? Beauuuuutiful place

What's the point ! , Already an updated version of Dominar 400 2019. Lots of changes from 2017 till day ?? That too massive upgrade ...

If Bajaj had to come cross this video they would like "Why didnt we think of that??" I have always said that the Dominar is a very good bike. It does most of the things right. Bajaj shouldnt have done the cheap publicity that it did. Dominar doesnt sell as much (atleast as much as they hoped for I think) and I feel its because of bad advertising. Instead of highlighting how good the bike is, they mainly tried to shame a manufacturer who they actually dont even compete with. Not in price, power, build quality anything. Dominar is a better bike for the masses. Niggle free for most part. RE has had its issues and everyone knows it and they buy it inspite of that. That clearly means that there is something about the bike that attracts people ( and no its not the macho feeling people associate it with!). If they just promoted it as a performance tourer (in its displacement segment) i'm sure their advertising money would have paid off. Anyways seems like they have learned from their mistakes and are now promoting it as it should have been. On a side note, I want to go to Kotagiri, now!! lol

Very nice review not very technical but practical
