What is the Pulsar AS250 like for long distance touring?

Given the Pulsar AS250’s position as a motorcycle for 'adventure sports', many riders are eager to know just how capable it is as a touring motorcycle. It's a question that arises in talks about the comfort of the bike over long distances, the efficiency with which it runs on the highways and the load carrying capacity. Riders talk about the experience of multi day trips, the seat comfort, wind protection of the fairing, and general fatigue after long days in the saddle. People are also interested in how the bike performs when there’s a pillion and luggage on board. The AS250’s touring potential is often pitted against both dedicated touring bikes and other motorcycles in its class, with people debating as to whether it’s a jack of all trades, master of none when it comes to long distance riding.
