    congratulations for your new bike and you did great choice , i did the same , I short out four bikes interceptor 650, CF moto 400, duke 390 and dominar 400 , and i choose Dominar 400 same color as you because of its price point and i added some performance modification (RaceDynamic's Powertronic and FuelX pro )

      Both are equally good in their own way. But they are like North pole and South pole.
      I can't give my opinion on this here. As I will have to type a long story but I will make a video on this. Stay tuned for next 3 to 4 days🙏🙏

    • @ridewitharko
      @ridewitharko  2 месяца назад

      Both are poles apart in terms of money and motorcycling. NS400 is a naked sports bike whereas himi450 is an adv. Price wise you can buy 2 ns400s. If you need an adv and have the money go for himi.

      I agree I almost fell for the int 650 as well. But the on road price of the alloy wheel version is 4.17L in Bangalore. Which puts me in Himalayan 450 range again. Plus you need to do quite a bit of modifications to make it pillion friendly. Again more money, more honey situation 🫠

    I don't believe in cancelling great bike just because of one showroom or because of one sales person. I think it is foolish to give up on bike just because one showroom guy was rude. You could have booked the bike and cancel booking after test ride if you don't like it.

    • @ridewitharko
      @ridewitharko  3 месяца назад

      I can understand what you are saying. And agree with you for the most part. However, I lost it when the sales person said it is 'OKay' for them if we ( yeah I wasn't alone) buy some other bikes. And, this happened on 'Test Ride Day'. A couple of people were called but then we were told eventually a test ride would happen but not sure when.
      It was my 3rd visit for the test ride. I didn't get any special treatment bajaj as well. But at least they were willing to sell the product followed the SOP.
      Yes it's lost opportunity for me and hero as well. Wrote them about it and dealership manager got in touch nothing happened after that 😕
