Can we make long rides on NS 200 and how comfortable it is for long rides

Question

Vishal · Accepted Answer

Let me first start with the thing that my heifht is 6 ft 2 inch so while riding I did not face much of back problem, but yes if someone is sitting behind you then he will keep asking you to stop every one or one and half hour.As NS is naked sport bike, it has been designed to look sporty and cool so you have to compromise a bit on comfort. What I felt if I apply the front disc brake then it automatically puts pressure on your thighs to hold your body back and after riding few kilometres it starts to pain.Another thing is that this bike has 6 gear box so if you are riding in city then you have to shift gears a lot and again your left portion between left knee and ankle starting to pain.After all this, let me end by saying I love this bike. I have this bike from the past 7 years. I give full marks in terms of mileage considering the 200CC engine coz it has triple spark technology. In city I get around 35 and on highway 40-42 n yes I ride above 100 so speed shouldn't be the case here.

Anubhav · Answer

Sure you can as engine is capable of cruising at 80-90 kmph (single rider) all day also a new bike can give you 40kmpl on highways , the only down side is seat due to which you might need a break every 150km or so but it is an small issue which can be covered using air seats which are easily available, so overall one can tour NS200 All above explain is not based online reviews it's just I own it last 8 year :)Ride safe Ride hard

Nikhil · Answer

My height is 5'5 and i am not comfortable at all with the seating . I tried many thing to do but this bike is not comfortable for this height range I definitely suggest buy apche 200 instead of this coz apache is totally comfortable for this height range.

Wasim · Answer

Seat are not that great ride on air seat cushion you need to buy after that you can go where ever you wish long ride and city tour what ever you like but long ride in high ways put bike in 6th gear 75 to 85 kmph this beast run like hot knife on butter

BahaiDebbarma · Answer

Yes! Offcourse you can take NS200 for a long ride, as many of them has answered that it's comfortable to ride and it's performance as well as. You will not get heating issue in this bike alike KTM Motorcycles.

Sanath · Answer

Yes it is possible. I have gone for multiple long rides between 300-500 KM in single day. Seats are a bit hard and can start hurting after 300KM mark, though I believe our fitness plays a major role.

Parth · Answer

Yes of course you can go on long ride on ns seating position is good but if you are planning for more than 400 km/day then you should change your cushion so you may ride more comfortable

ShailendraDwivedi · Answer

I'm 5'3 and own NS what I noticed is bike is okay for all heights except for the seat comfort. I have travelled 450+ kms to and 450+ kms for in a day and believe me... This bike is a beast I would prefer anyday. Have changed my seats to air cushions and now the ride feels almost perfect

SuperCharged · Answer

I just completed a 5000km ride on a 2014 NS 200. The seat is quite comfortable. Got a mileage of 40 on carburetor. What you will not like is the stock tyres and over soft front suspension. I suggest to get a heavier fork oil filled in the front forks for better stability. Getting a better set of tyres would help as well.

Sajal · Answer

NS 200 is comfortable in long ride if the bike is property maintained,,,,otherwise it is a problematic in long run as it is difficult to get mechanic assistant easily,,, otherwise in high speed you can maintain 120 to 130 km /hr without any disturbance,,,,

Sushant · Answer

It depends on what kind of Riding posture you like. NS has a mix of
aggressive and relaxed. I like the aggressive seating and due to this only felt a little buzz in hands after
riding 400 km in one stretch.and the ride was mix of express way and country side (normal roads with a few people holes)

Chuck · Answer

I have drove only 100 km in one stretch  so far  is a new bike  and Im in  the southern Philippine islands where roads are not the best (no expressways)  but the ride has always been comfortable for me and my rider.  performance wise the best  traveling around 80 to 85 is a breeze.

Varun · Answer

How tall..?? m 6 ft.. its suits me... depends on the built of the person too.... if the person is too lean or too fat.. obviously this bike's not gonna suit him/her...  If the Person is taller than 6 ft.. i guess this bike is not suitable for those guys either..

Harsh · Answer

For Highway It is Best like Crusing On 120 km/h is much easier on NS . It is Little Bit stiff but It is able to cover a lot of distance in a single day.

Christian · Answer

Yes! I already test it in a long drive with at least 4 -stop (5-10minutes) , almost 600km and there's no problem with the engine. When it comes to the comfort, I will rate my ns200 8/10. I you want a comfortable ride you must choose a touring bike!

Sushant · Answer

Depends on what type of seating posture you like. If you like sporty posture then yes it will be suitable for you in long ride. But, if you like more relaxed posture one that is provided in the bullets, then you must not go for NS

Wanderer · Answer

Yes ,absolutely you can choose ns 200 its posture is very good for your body and you can ride whole with this machine and its pocket friendly too.

Rohan · Answer

Yes it's comforting but when it comes to long rides like 500+ yes the seat feel like a brick and the handal will feel hard and heavy

Giriraj · Answer

Comfortable for single rider, but wind blast would cause fatigue as it lacks any kind of fairing wind will directly hit the rider.

Gontena · Answer

No. The seating position comfortable but with the hard seat butts will hurt. And you will get back pain. Suspension is also hard.

Abhijit · Answer
