Q. Is this good for long rides?

Let’s start with the engine. Just like other Yezdis, the Roadster also has a 334cc motor, but look closely and you can see that the engine case doesn't have the Yezdi boxy design but it looks similar to that of the Jawa. The first thing that you will notice on the Roadster is the urgency of the engine. The short-stroke motor loves to revv and the Yezdi Roadster is properly quick. It’s reminiscent of an energetic puppy that just wants to play and feels fidgety sitting idle. That's the same case with the Roadster, it wants the rider to have a heavy right wrist and have loads of fun. Being a short ride around the hills of Lonavala we couldn’t test the cruising ability of the bike, but the peppy nature made corner exits exciting. Another impressive bit of the Roadster is the light clutch and the slick six-speed gearbox. Also, the exhaust note is throaty and by BS6 standards, the Roadster does sound pretty loud. But it isn't perfect. One thing that will put you off is engine vibes, even at speeds as low as 40kmph you can feel a buzz on the handlebar bar and the footpegs. Even if you keep the minor vibes at bay, the mechanical noise too is loud and the engine could do with a dose of polish. The peaky nature of the motor means that we aren't sure if it will be easy to ride and be tractable at city speeds, but we will have to wait for a proper road test to confirm the same. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride before making the final decision, follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.
