Vamsidhara · Answer

Not really the stock seat is pretty bad dats why im went with the double touring seat of continental gt for my interceptor and it is amazing night and day difference as regards to the position it won't be as comfortable as a cruiser like a Thunderbird or a harley but its definitely way better than the continental gt i can say that much

Umesh · Answer

Riding posture is good but seat foam is too thin , you need to get after market seat Pillion comfort is bad for long touring , unless pillion is short in height

Anurag · Answer

Bharath · Answer

Riding posture is comfortable for certain set of people but some add handlebar raisers to fit their riding posture ...but seats are not comfortable

Ashok · Answer

No handle bar needs to be replaced because of aggressive sitting posture with stock handle bar. For all other aspects it's perfect for touring. You will have to saddles boxes for luggage.

Mriganka · Answer

Yes this vehicle is good for touring...but according to your comfort level..you might need to change it to a touring seat set up. Rest all fine..performance and all

Vishal · Answer

Posture is great but there is wind blast. And the suspension is on stiffer side.

Satish · Answer

No, you need to buy touring seat for this, Company has to think on this and make it comfortable .

Dheeraj · Answer

For city ride it's ok but for long ride need to do some changes on seat and yes handling is perfect

NirpatSubba · Answer

Onece the seat is changed and handle bar raised, it becomes one of the best bikes for long tour. Infact better than any other RE's long tour bike.

Matias · Answer

What about the stock seat after that long ride!!?? is it really that soft?? thanks for your opinion.

Sourin · Answer

I went with that and the borders of the seat hurt after 700Kms. So, better go with a better solution with not so much stitches in the borders.

Deepam · Answer

It's good for touring but not as royal as Thunderbird.

Krishan · Answer

Absolutely not for short height riders, if you think than you require modification of seat and handle bar for better riding experience.

Matt · Answer

I think it would be better with a sheepskin over the seat. The handlebars can be easily and cheaply altered with Bar Risers if need be.

Raghu · Answer

Once you get used to it. then its awesome
