Does the Pulsar RS125 suit for longer rides and touring as it is comfortable to ride?
I’ve done a few 300km day trips on my RS125 and have found it comfortable enough. The seat is ok for a sport bike and the fairing gives decent wind protection.
There is no way I would tour on this bike. An hour or so in the aggressive riding position gets uncomfortable. This is really more for short rides and commutes.
It's all about expectations. It is reasonably comfortable for a 125cc sport bike. If you’re used to bigger touring bikes you will surely feel its limitations.
I find it acceptable for light touring. Couple that with a tank bag and a small tail bag and you can do weekend trips. You won't get Gold Wing comfort, but don't expect it.
It can easily be made touring friendly with a few mods, such as a gel seat cover and adjustable levers. It’s a good platform to build upon.
I’ve toured on mine and it was fine. But the fact is that I really don’t have another bike to ride so while it’s not ideal, if it’s your only bike, yes you can make it work for longer rides with a little bit of planning.
Long rides are the deal breaker for me due to vibrations. My hands grow numb after a couple of hours. Good for commuting, not so good for touring.
It is more comfortable than you would think for a sport bike, but not as comfortable as a dedicated tourer. It’s a good compromise for most riders for occasional longer rides.
