How is the Pulsar N125 in long rides?
Of course we know that the Pulsar N125 is marketed as a sporty commuter, but what about those weekend getaways or the occasional long trip? Its comfort is the stuff of legend for longer journeys, but some riders complain of fatigue after a couple of hours. All of these factors include the seat design, riding posture and vibrations at higher speeds. There’s the fuel efficiency on highways versus city riding. How does the smaller engine do on inclines, or when fully loaded? Don't forget the pillion experience either – is it comfortable for your riding partner on those longer stretches? I’d love to hear from riders who have taken this bike out of its normal comfort zone of urban riding.
Surprisingly good! I did a 300km trip and it was comfortable all the way through. As long as you take breaks every 2 hours, you’ll be fine.
It’s fine for short trips, but over 150km and you’ll feel it. You can feel the vibrations and the seat becomes uncomfortable.
I've done a few 500km+ rides. It's not ideal but it can be done. But you can pack light and be fine.
It's not great as a pillion for long rides. It is a bit small and hard for long periods.
If you like smaller bikes it handles long rides well. It's not bad at all, don't expect tourer comfort.
It struggles a bit on steep inclines, with a pillion. However, on flats highways, it easily cruises 80kmph – 90kmph.
On long rides it's pretty good for its segment. It is neutral in the riding position to reduce fatigue.
