Is the Bajaj DOMINAR 400 good on the HIGHWAY?

#Dominar #TollFreeTraveller #Touring
Firstly, come follow me on Instagram : @tollfreetraveller.
This is NOT a review. Just a small video to answer the many questions I've been getting asking about my experience with the Bajaj Dominar 400.
This is NOT my bike. I borrowed a friend's 2017 Bajaj Dominar 400 for a ride from Chennai to Kotagiri (in the Nilgiri Hills). This was a great chance to experience the highway touring capabilities of this motorcycle and that is exactly what I did. Here are some of my thoughts and feedback of my touring experience with the much-talked about Bajaj Dominar 400.

    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! 🔥

    @@chandansoren8002 lol this was 3 years ago. I ended up selling my TB 350 and bought an Ather 450 at no extra cost 3.5 yes ago. Best decision I made. Saved 80k in fuel in 3 years. Still love the dominar and I might be it in a couple of years but what I realised is buying a low cost running scooter for the city and renting a bike for long rides is much better. You can get to try out multiple bikes and no headache of servicing or anything. 80k I’ve saved from fuel has more than made up for the cost of renting bikes for rides.
