Both have their fair share of advantages and disadvantages. If you are looking for a rugged, go anywhere bike with maximum comfort, long distance touring, riding for several hours and truckload of suspension then look no further Himalayan is the answer. On the downside, it's heavy, if parked on an incline you really have to be careful and bog it down, brakes are squishy which needs getting used to and cannot afford to drop it. You need to be sensible with this one also drops don't matter to a Himalayan because it's all heavy duty metal. If you are more into highway touring/cruising on the higher end of the rev limiter then Dominar it is, not ideal for bad roads or off-roads, i find it uncomfortable after about 400kms of riding. But what it lacks it makes up for the performance and always available power on the tap. Again this is all plastic, lower ground clearance, not the most ideal bash plate, hates going off-road. Then again it depends on the rider and how to tame these beasts is completely up to you.
