Most motorcycle owners in India have the need for two-up riding, or carrying a pillion passenger. Being an entry level bike, the Pulsar 125 Neon invites questions of its ability to comfortably and safely accommodate two riders. This is normally a contentious topic, as there will always be debates about how the much heavier bike will handle and how the suspension and seat will work. But some riders say the bike has trouble accelerating and has poor fuel efficiency with a passenger aboard, while others say it is adequate for short trips. The comfort level for the pillion rider is also discussed, specifically considering seat space, footpeg position and ride quality. For those that ride with a partner or family member frequently, this aspect of the bike’s performance is especially important and is a key part of the purchasing decision.
