The flagship motorcycle from Bajaj Auto, the Dominar 400 which had been spotted testing earlier in red colour, has now seen in all different colour options. Hat tip to an automotive enthusiast who made it available on the internet in the white colour option. And, now a Green colour Bajaj Dominar under production line is doing rounds on the web.
The power cruiser is all set to hit the market anytime soon in its 2019 model year version. In its next-gen avatar, the motorcycle will be available in three colour options of red, white and green. The red colour option is being offered with the outgoing 2018 model year version. While the other two colour options are also on sale but in the exports markets. Sooner, the Indian market will also be able to see the availability of these exclusive colour options.
We hope the Bajaj Auto move of introducing new colour options with a host of cosmetic updates and new features will work in its favour and turned into a huge success as this flagship model is seeing dwindling sales from a few months. In December 2018, the company registered only 24 units' sale. Among alterations, the motorcycle will witness an improved gearbox with no noise while gear shifting from neutral to first gear. The issue of vibration will be resolved to a higher level.
