Is the 2025 Dominar 250 worth buying under ₹2.5L budget?
I'm planning to buy a bike for myself with a maximum budget of ₹2.5 lakh. After researching a lot, watching reviews, and comparing options, I’m currently leaning toward the 2025 Bajaj Dominar 250.
I know some people mention its heavy weight as a downside, but I'm okay with it — I've ridden the Hunter 350 casually several times and never really felt uncomfortable with the weight.
I considered Royal Enfield models too, but I specifically want these features:
- Dual Channel ABS
- Traction Control
- Engine displacement above 200cc
- Liquid-Cooled Engine
- Slipper Clutch
This made the Dominar 250 .
However, I couldn’t get a test ride as no near-by showroom seems to have it in stock.
My daily usage is around 30 km, and I usually go on a 150–200 km ride once a month.
I also want something that's comfortable for a pillion.
Now I want to ask actual Dominar owners or bike enthusiasts:
=> Is it worth buying the Dominar 250 in 2025 despite it not being very popular?
=> Any reliability or service concerns I should be aware of?
Looking for honest inputs before I finalize the decision. Thanks in advance!
