Saw the Matte Black with Golden wheels in flesh about a month ago at a Bajaj Dealership. And boy I was ogling it for some time. I was not aware at that time if this was a new launch. Thought of it as a limited edition.

The new colors are definitely not of everybody's taste but given a choice I would have preferred this new one for the Matte Black. In my opinion the Matte Black was already too good in looks and these Golden wheels have enhanced its beauty.

Wishing all the best for the Dominar in this new avatar. This is one bike that is all VFM in that price segment.

How I wish Bajaj retained the White colour from the previous version, which is the only colour that stands out in Dominar. But, what is it with Bajaj keep on introducing new "yearly" versions for almost all of its models without any mechanical changes, but only the stickering changes.

Gold alloys are utterly tasteless. Matt black used to look stealthily sexy with black alloys. But gold wheels? What the heck. Already Bajaj has copied a lot from Ducati. Why over do the design? I still remember the NS 200. That was an amazing design. This isn’t classy at all.

That Black / Gold combination is

I had a Karizma in 2009 (pre price-cut version) in Black / Gold. Boy it was awesome!

Dominar seems to be a true VFM product. Unfortunately, I haven't seen enough of them on road

Bajaj is back with the #HaathiMatPalo advertisements for their Dominar and they are damn cool. The three ads also show the three new 2018 colours.
