While the video exhibits the capabilities of the motorcycles in question, it also raises a larger question - the dangers posed by the speeding. While it is exciting to see the Dominar 400 and the TVS Apache RR 310S racing on the roads, it raises serious concerns over the safety. Both the motorcyclists seem to be crossing the speed limits on the highways and its evident they are putting their lives to risk as well as the other road users.

In the video uploaded on YouTube by a user named MotoStories, the upcoming TVS track-bred motorcycle is showcased being chased by Bajaj's most powerful cruiser the Dominar 400. The speedometer of the Dominar 400 displays speeds of over 150 kmph although that of Akula 310 is not visible.
