Can the CT125X really work as a long distance tourer?

I wouldn’t recommend it for serious touring. After an hour or two, the seat gets uncomfortable and being bare to the wind on a highway is a problem. For short trips, it’s fine, but you’d be better off with a proper touring bike for long distances.

It can be modified for budget touring. Mine has a more comfortable seat, a small windscreen and some luggage racks. It’s not luxurious, but it’s good enough for weekend getaways.

I've ridden a 500km round trip on my CT125X and it wasn't the most comfortable ride but I was able to do it. Big pluses for touring are that the bike is reliable and fuel efficient. But just be prepared for a slower pace and more breaks.

It's all about expectations. If you are used to touring on bigger bikes you will be disappointed. If you’re open to roughing it and you view it as a budget adventure, then the CT125X can be a rewarding way to push the envelope without maxing out the charge card.

I think that's really pushing the bike beyond its design. Yeah, you can tour on it, but why would you when there are so many better options? If that’s what you want to do, save up for a bike that is designed for long distances.

If you are on a tight budget, honestly, I think the CT125X is a solid choice. It’s not fancy, but it works. I’ve owned one for a few months, and for the price it is surprisingly capable. It has decent build quality and rough roads can take a beating with it.

I'm not sold on it. You know, it's cheap upfront, but Bajaj's after sales service is a nightmare. In the long run you may be spending more on repairs and maintenance. In this segment, I’d rather save up a bit more and go for a Honda or TVS.

The CT125X is hard to beat if you are a daily commuter. It's fuel efficient, easy to drive in traffic and parts are inexpensive. Don't expect a highway cruiser or a performance machine. If you know what it can and can’t do, you’ll be happy with it.

But I think it’s a bit overhyped. This is just a basic commuter, nothing special about it. The ride is pretty stiff, and the seat gets uncomfable on longer rides. If you are mostly doing short trips, then okay, but there are better options if you need versatility.

At the price, it's a decent starter bike. It’s perfect for learning and getting comfortable on two wheels, without breaking the bank. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance it should serve you well.

It's surprisingly decent! I did a 300km trip and it wasn’t luxury, but it wasn’t torture either. It's comfy upright.

I wouldn't recommend it. At higher speeds, it is unstable and the vibrations are really annoying after an hour or so.

It's fine for short highway stints, but above 100km and you'll be wishing for a bigger bike. The lack of wind protection is a real problem.

I regularly do weekend trips on mine. It’s not ideal, but with some breaks and realistic expectations, it’s totally doable.

Long ride fuel efficiency is great, but the small tank means you’ll be stopping a lot. It's a trade-off.

I added a small windscreen and it made a big difference on highways. Not a tourer yet, but much more bearable now.

If you're not in a hurry, that's fine. It cruises at 60–70 km/h, but you won't keep up with faster traffic.

I've done a few 500km+ rides. It’s not the bike’s strong suit, but it can be done if you’re willing to suffer a bit.
How did the CT110X ES cope with monsoon conditions?

It's surprisingly good! The way the tires work may be decent to run on a wet road. Just be careful and don’t brake to much.

In heavy rain I've had some scary moments. The headlight could be brighter and the drum brakes aren't great when wet.
