The Pulsar NS125 is frequently touted as a sporty urban commuter but many riders want to know if it can do better and head out on longer rides and weekend getaways. The subject of this topic is a source of discussion among the owners and potential buyers. Others praise the bike's comfortable seating position and responsive engine, arguing it’s perfect for long distance journeys. Some argue that its lack of wind protection and fuel tank are significantly smaller than that of purpose built options. Bike stability on the highway, fuel economy on long rides and how it rides with luggage are all debated by riders. They also discuss modifications or accessories that would make the NS125 more tour friendly.
