Huhu. Ok what single cylinder? Torque really nice. Just the vibration is emmm... Nutt shaker. Hahaha

Rc390 same engine as 390 duke

The ktm 390s has a lot of problem. Bajaj learn the lesson here. So of course they do not want dominar have the same as their sisters. Let dominar less agressive for longevity.

And i dont think bajaj would put fairing. If you watch tamil/hindustan movie, you will see their bikes prefer naked than fairing. Unless bajaj decided to do it for their outside market

By the way, how's your dominar? Ok or not?

Wah. Sudah mau jual meh?

I think i know why. You want more power kan?

Why? Haha more nicer in what aspect?

indeed.

but since bajaj is not like those big brand. they can only use what they have and improve. ( need huge money to spend for new engine RnD)
in this case. ktm 390 engine. ( since they also manufacture this engine for ktm)
since its cheap to make, and 1 single cylinder actually just hit the purpose of this bike made for. touring and daily use.
cheaper price selling with cheaper maintenance.

if using those 2 engine that u said, need RnD or source from other manufacturer with huge cost, then they cant keep produce cheap bike anymore. if selling price same with other big brand, hard for them to compete anymore.
like z400, the price more than double of D400.
2 cylinder vs 1.

im also waiting to buy this bike, but mybe waiting for 2019 version to come here. since im not urgent.

I doubt they will bring the new Dominar, due to the latest cooperation with Kawasaki.. they might substitute it entirely with Ninja 250 since it has more market appeal due to B2 Lesen compliant.

Nothing new for Rojak knockdown assembly Company Modenas..

SYM - Kymco - Kawasaki - BAJAJ - China Bike (those new Kriss)

because its design for touring, save fuel and maintenance.
its not sports bike.

Bajaj learn from overtuning KTM duke 390 engine which the 1st gen always giving problem.. also to compensate the dirty and low quality fuel sold in the sub continent.

Broder.. Road in India (where most of the R&D happened) 120 km/h is consider a high speed already...

its because malaysian rider mentality. want fast bike only.   
what they want: fast bike, more than 1 cylinder,  cheap price, cheap maintenance, no need B full licence, and known branded bike. ( later friend said u buy local/stupid brand, u dont know where to hide ur face, better buy y15)

if u want to compare, its same as ktm duke 250/390. why the sales not that good. ( plus expensive price tag)

but for those true rider, they know each bike design differently and hv diff purpose.
bajaj built dominar using ktm 390 as base is due to cheap RnR.  they are not those big brand that have more money to built from scratch. they hv built the engine before, so why not use it and tune to their bike characteristic.
indian is not rich country and hv bad road ( cant do top speed as always compare here in malaysia). why need to built another KTM duke in crowded market, why not built bike that their people always do, commuting/touring with cheap price, using parts that already in market.

Well the light trail is green.

Maybe a kawasaki bike in kambing?
