Thunderbird 500X vs Dominar 400 - Comparison Review | MotorBeam

[@FasBeam]

Hi #MotorBeamers, how many *LIKES* can these colour updates get 😜

[@arunadithyan.g.r2938]

Faisal Khan I wish dominar had black alloys . And we wish for a walkaround vedio of dominar glacier blue colour.

[@karthikgnskasi6196]

@4.48, whole bike is vibrating like s***, there's no sense in buying the 500 x, for that price we can get rr310 or put a bit more and aim to the duke 390 or rc 390, RE is like left in stone age tech and they're (r&d people) are still in deep cryo sleep.... 😂😂😂😂. Bajaj is trying to achieve something Where's RE is just sitting ducks with new paint schemes and alloys, 2.28 is a lot of money and the only area 500 x is good at is retro charm..., nothing special else than that.

I was planning for a buy a good machine a year ago...So I did th e test ride of dominar and thunderbird 350...dominar had everything in it for me to go for it....But when I took the test ride of thunderbird....I immediately got connected with the machine...I was first time riding the RE ...The filling is amazing....Respect to dominar...But RE is of different level. I just said....Hell with technology....All i want is this machine....And after one year i feel im lucky i did not bought do minar... But if some one feels do minar is good for them...They can go for it ....

[@justdad53]

I suppose the winner is determined by what is valued by the rider? Want performance (speed, handling and braking) then Dominator is your choice. What if I want a comfortable slightly slower but still a good handling bike that has some charm and has a history older than a loaf of bread? Neither is what I would call performance bikes and if you only own one then I can see why the Dominator might be your choice. For me I appreciate the looks and feel of Royal Enfield's and don't care if it is a little slower and stops marginally slower, because to me Royal Enfield's have heart and make me feel happy when I ride them not like a toaster.

Hey Broh.. RE Riders Never Irritates Because Of Vibration Because They Know There's Not A Vibrations There's A Heart Pumping Thumps Power Of 500CC Big Engine. Clear The Concept RE bikes are not for racing and their riders will also know that things they enjoy the ride they will love to touring with that Hassel free long distance travelling, Other Hand Dominar Is Just A Newbie There's no retro felling ergonomics no retrospective sitting posture its just a power pack tourer that's why its way more top end speed but not like RE torqy. Hills me RE Jitne Gear Me Charh Jayegi Utne Me Dominar Ko 1st gear pe ana pad jayega. That's th different between RE And Dominar

Just a feedback .. I have both (dono paal rakkhe hai .. HATHI bhi aur CHEETAH bhi) lol .. i recently rode both for same 100km route .. and Royal enfield ache my lower back .. whereas dominar was way to comfortable while riding the same .. due to vibrations on handle bar my forearms ache after riding RE TBD500 like i have over done Forearms Curl at gym .. And rev limiter is on dominar which lasts for first 2000km (said engineer by Bajaj) for blinking RPM limit light around 5.5K rpms .. and post 2000kms it will be open for upto 9.5k rpms ..

[@abinashsethi9648]

Why do you hate RE so much i know it vibrates it does not rev high and all but they are improving things and they are setting the market standards. Bajaj launched dominar just because RE was so successful in the 250-500 cc segment.

[@ibeigh]

His review is so nice., but one thing I had been riding from a long time and had visited Ladakh and other places N number of times, I rode all bullet models and after 100 kms I started cursing these bike bcoz they lose power upto 70% and feel like a metal junk instead when I just ride ns 200 it was like wow wow and no power lack due to liquid cooling and fan it just was awesome and now when I rode Dominor 400 it was like wow rocket in my hands so it u r looking for long touring bike don’t ever even think of Royal Enfield

[@nazaarmohamed8131]

The RE does look funky without losing the retro charm but that's it! There's nothing special about it! The Dominar is an all rounder and looks quite premium,but I really wish that bajaj reduces the weight of the bike which will result in even better performance.

[@VadaiGod]

the problem with royal enfield engine is that the engine take along time to get set properly and the vibration to dampen, maybe u can try a video with my bike which is an 2016 bullet 350 with new engine which is out of the factory and feel the difference

Royal enfield has a class .. its a evergreen motorcycle .. everybody in india recognize it by its sound and looks... classic 350 is used by army officers and veterans ...its for people who want to ride with pride ...it dosent matter if its comfortable or not ..but to feel the road the air and the sound of the mighty 350 cc .. kids ride their toys ..but men ride their manchines ..The machine which has been loved by everyone kids , mens , girls , womens , rich or poor , big body or thin skinny guys .. you just have to wear the aviator sunglasses and ride your royal enfield and boom you own the road .... the might and power of its engine can even shake the mountains and every bone of your body ... its a machine that is made to make imprints on the genrations of genrations ... even after decades when you will get old and when you are looking on the memories and the photos of you on the royal enfield it will make you smile and still want you to take a ride on you loved royal enfield machine ... the grand children of yours who will be riding electric motorcycles in tue future will be amazed to see this beauty and will ask you about the feel of its power and look... when you will retire from your job and in 60 yrs old living on the far country side you want to ride your machine and take a spin in your neigbour ... its not about the tech or the features ... people dont buy enfield because they cant afford new bikes ..but they buy because of the connection that is made with the royal enfield when you ride it ... its connects and talks with you in the open road ... when you ride a R.E you dont want to get off it ... it becomes a part of your family a part of you ... Royal enfield will not become old or obsolute .... like the new generation motorbikes which become old in just a few months ... the exciments and the love becomes dull when the new version comes out ... but the royal enfield is not one of them ..its a legend and will be forever ..it will stay with us till the end of the world as long as there is fuel and open road the R.E will be proudly running in these roads... you will feel the presence of it . and you instantly realise that there is a best nearby ..when you hear the thump sound... and the roar of the engines.. actually it for those who are proud of their man hood ...the twisted mustache ... its the real beast and the beauty ... the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ... Royal enfield for live ...forever... P.S i dont own a R.E .. i just rode it once .. i own the r15 😶 . but in my opinion the Royal enfield classic is the real KING of INDIAN Motorcycle ..no other motorcycle can replace it ...😢

[@dhruvrana4735]

RE started as a british company, just saying. You can read about it more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Enfield Moreover about reliability as long as you maintain a bike it will last. I've seen honda, yamaha, suzuki bikes from 1998 and 2002 still working as new on sale. You can read about it more on these subreddits : www.reddit.com/r/SuggestAMotorcycle/ www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/ Let's just address man not hard feelings, we don't have money to buy good bikes like Triumph bonneville, Vulcan S Harley, ducati scrambler etc and we settle down on cheap like RE. And cheap cannot be flawless, there are flaws that's why it's cheap. Bro read about Triumph, RE and Triumph started together (1903 and 1902) and today Triumph is miles ahead of RE (comparison will be unfair towards Triumph). More about toys, there's nothing wrong about carbon fibre and glass fibres, they are 5-6 times stronger than steel and weigh 10 times less than steel. F1 cars, MotoGP bikes, H2R SE all use them because it's proven that it's better than steel. You can read about it here: zoltek.com/carbon-fiber/what-is-carbon-fiber/ Get your facts right man.
