Bajaj Dominar 400 Review

Used Buyer Review

The Dominar 400 is Bajaj's most serious attempt at a proper performance roadster, and honestly, it's more motorcycle than the badge suggests. The 373cc liquid-cooled single punches out around 40hp and pulls strongly from 4,000rpm upward — it genuinely surprises you on an overtake. The slipper clutch and USD forks feel premium for the money, and that dashboard is still impressively feature-packed against anything in this price bracket used. Here's the real talk though: early 2017-2018 models had vibration issues through the handlebars and pegs above 90mph that'll numb your hands on long hauls. Bajaj addressed most of this in the 2019 update, so chase those later bikes hard. Service history matters enormously here — neglected examples develop cam chain rattle that owners conveniently ignore before selling. Run the engine cold, listen carefully before handing over cash. Maintenance costs are genuinely low if you find a decent independent mechanic. Parts availability has improved massively. It's not a CBR or an MT-07, but for the price? You'd struggle to find this much motorcycle elsewhere.
