Is the Pulsar N160 2 Channel ABS suitable for long distance touring?

Although designed as a sporty commuter, many riders see the Pulsar N160 as a machine capable of longer trips. Factors that impact touring capability are engine performance and efficiency, fuel efficiency, seat comfort, posture, and luggage capacity. With a 160cc engine, the N160 leaves us wondering if it will be able to keep up with the highway speeds for any significant amount of time. Furthermore, ergonomics of the bike as well as other features like wind protection are also important factors to remember when looking at the touring suitability of the bike. A few riders will argue that smaller displacement bikes such as the N160 can be ideal for budget touring, whereas others will claim that a larger engine is required for a comfortable long distance. The debate also raises questions about the bike's reliability — and the availability of service centers to provide peace of mind on long trips.
