How does the Bullet 350X fare for long distance touring when compared to other bikes in the same class?

Motorcycle enthusiasts in India are long distance touring enthusiasts and many of them go for cross country rides or go explore remote parts of the country. The comfortable riding position and legendary status of the Bullet 350X make it a go to for such adventures. Opinions are divided as to its suitability for longer trips. Seat comfort, fuel efficiency, luggage carrying capacity and reliability over long distances become factors. There are those riders who swear by the Bullet’s ability to glide over mile after mile, and others who enjoy riding more modern tourers featuring the latest gadgetry. The bike’s touring capabilities are debated heavily (relatively low power output, basic suspension). Furthermore, many tourers prefer that the service centers and spare parts are also available in remote areas. The debate can be whether the Bullet's charm and character compensates for its shortcomings as a serious long distance riding tool.
