Can the CT125X really work as a long distance tourer?
by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views5 comments
Although intended as an urban commuter, some riders have been taking the Bajaj CT125X on longer trips and even multi day tours. It has ignited debate as to whether the bike can be used for longer journeys. Is the CT125X a comfortable, reliable and performance machine for long distance riding? What challenges and limitations can riders expect when touring on this budget friendly machine? Do we have any success stories or cautionary tales from those who have tried long trips on the CT125X? The question is, can this affordable commuter double as a budget touring option, or is it better left in the city?

I think that's really pushing the bike beyond its design. Yeah, you can tour on it, but why would you when there are so many better options? If that’s what you want to do, save up for a bike that is designed for long distances.

It's all about expectations. If you are used to touring on bigger bikes you will be disappointed. If you’re open to roughing it and you view it as a budget adventure, then the CT125X can be a rewarding way to push the envelope without maxing out the charge card.

I've ridden a 500km round trip on my CT125X and it wasn't the most comfortable ride but I was able to do it. Big pluses for touring are that the bike is reliable and fuel efficient. But just be prepared for a slower pace and more breaks.

It can be modified for budget touring. Mine has a more comfortable seat, a small windscreen and some luggage racks. It’s not luxurious, but it’s good enough for weekend getaways.

I wouldn’t recommend it for serious touring. After an hour or two, the seat gets uncomfortable and being bare to the wind on a highway is a problem. For short trips, it’s fine, but you’d be better off with a proper touring bike for long distances.
