Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike is best between, Dominar or Pulsar N250?
  • N250 for budget ,mileage, cheaper maintainance D250 for long distance touring ,dual channel abs
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. Apart from its accessible price tag, the Dominar 250 does one thing right -- it is fit to purpose. The 250cc motor may feel boring on the KTM, but it works beautifully on the Dominar especially when you combine it with its comfortable touring ergonomics. It truly deserves the ‘sports tourer’ tag. So while Bajaj might pitch it as the entry-level Dominar, we think the 250 is the Dominar in its perfect form. On the other hand, with a powerful motor and comfortable ride quality, the Pulsar N250 is a good option in the 250cc, but the Pulsar NS200 is cheaper and offers better tech. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Bajaj Dominar 250 Road Test.-[2021 Bajaj Pulsar F250
Q. I'm confused between NS200 and the Dominar 250. Looking for a bike for city and touring use. Thinking about NS200 because it matches my power needs in a bike but in comfort the Dominar always wins. Any review on this would help. Just not sure about the comfort of NS 200.
  • The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 was always seen as an affordable alternative if you were in the market for a sporty streetfighter. As for the comfort, right from the moment you sit on it and reach for the bars, you get a lovely sense of command over the motorcycle. The seat cushioning is firm but absorbent, the texture is grippy and the slim tank allows you to straddle the bike more efficiently. Even the taut suspension isn’t that much of a bother. On the other hand, the Dominar 250 offers a good price to power ratio and brilliant ride quality. The 250cc motor may feel boring on the KTM, but it works beautifully on the Dominar especially when you combine it with its comfortable touring ergonomics. It truly deserves the ‘sports tourer’ tag. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which one is best between, Dominar 250, Yamaha FZ 25 and Hness CB350 for occasional tours, quality and refined engine.
  • As per your requirement, we would suggest you go for Honda H’ness CB350. The gorgeous design is one of only two things that are really old-school about this bike, the other being the sonorous exhaust note. Honda has managed to capture the aura of a retro roadster but with a twist of modernity, which makes the new H’ness that much more attractive. It looks the part, is a comfortable bike, and has loads of features. Also, being a Honda, quality, and reliability will be of the highest degree. H’ness is mighty impressive with its refinement and is a good bike to hustle in the city. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Honda H’ness CB350 Road Test Review: Should RE Be Worried?.
