The Kawasaki Dominar 400 has been chosen as the 2019 Bike of the Year in the Philippines.
Produced in India in collaboration with Bajaj, the Dominar is also marketed as the Bajaj Dominar 400.
The new model uses an updated version of the 373cc DOHC, (390 Duke?) I think they also build the smaller Dukes in India, but not sure.
The Dominar is the second cheapest freeway-legal bike available after the Bristol 400i.
The Bristol 400i.
This is also a new brand, consisting of two models... Classic 400i and the BR 400i cafe racer. The Classic sells for P188,000 and the Cafe racer for P208,000
They recently took part in the BMW 'Ironman Challenge' and one came in 6th and one 13th out of nearly 1000 bikes of all sizes. All five bikes finished with
no mechanical problems whatsoever. Hoping to do some test riding in the not too distant future...
