Adventure Bike Rider Forum

Hi lads just popped in to say hello
On the look out for a mid size tourer for next year
What do ya think of the dominator s B)

Hi macdee!!

Firstly....Welcome.

Secondly....before I start, this is simply my personal opinion. However, I test rode a Dominator many moons ago, and for a guy my size 6"1' and just over 14st, I felt it was a tad underpowered. But it depends what you're going to use it for. If it's manily road going, then I'd (personally) go for something with more power. I don't think the Dominator is a true off-roader either, so if that's your vibe I think you'd be better going for a bike bespoke to that terrain.

Hope that helps

Welcome macdee.....!!!

Which part of Co.Antrim are ya from? I used to live a few miles past Carrickfergus etc...


Have a look at the Suzuki 650cc V-Strom, a brilliant middleweight machine, very capable of touring Europe no hassles, and further.


Best wishes;
Peter

Hi macdee from north down
Welcome to the site,my forum name might give you an idea which bike I would recommend :whistle:

Hi from Belfast

I'm with Macvisual and Moto al.
Go with something a little fresher like the Transalp or V-Storm.
If its purely touring have a look at a Deauville.

All have a larger tank range than a Dommie (120-140 to reserve).
They may come in at the same money or little more than a good dommie.
