The Bajaj Dominar is the first Indian built motorcycle which gets an LED headlamp. Following the upcoming government mandate the bike gets Auto Headlamp On (AHO) feature. The taillamps are LED as well. The Ducati Diavel inspiration continues with the split instrumentation, one on top of the headlamp and the other on top of the fuel tank.
