Mahi | 5 years ago16 ReplyI myself ride R15 and I've been on so many long rides on it . I agree that R15 is a sporty bike and is not designed for long rides . The seating posture offered by R15 is more suitable for race tracks and city gliding rather than highway long rides . While on a long ride you'll feel more pressure on your palm and elbow due to the front inclined posture of the rider . If you are ok with the posture than the bike is all fine for a long ride....it won't give you any troubles on long rides and also offers a much better mileage than the other bikes in its category
Kiran | 6 years ago10 ReplyShort answer is no but it depends if you are riding in highways and taking rest or breaks in between you can do long rides or else it is extremely uncomfortable to ride due to its riding position and if you still wish to do long rides on it then try changing its handlebars to get a more upright position .you can change it from authorised service centres
MD | 4 years ago1 ReplyYes ofcourse it benificial to long rider bcs the arms r also long to hold the handle bar easily to capabilities improve when they ride and turns to short or long ride both and no nech or back pain to long rider bcs i also ve 6+ feet height i own this bike from march 2019 and no problem with at all so i love this go for it without thinking more
Pradeep | 4 years ago2 ReplyIts all about u... If you love this bike no one gonna change your mind.... I don't have V3.. But I ride my honda Dio 500Kms in one day.... It hurts my bum but... I love my bike and I did 200kms in a single stretch...If you love this and you gonna face everything just go and experience the thrill.... Remember its a sports bike not a Cruiser...
Soumik | 5 years ago17 ReplyDefinetely, yes. It depends in the riders whether they will be okay or not...moreover sports designed bikes are not for everyone.One needs to be physically well trained too & those who complain are the ones who just ride the bike for 2-3hrs. but don't do any physical workout themselves. Given the engine quality you can do 1000 km in a go...but the question is your body enough well trained to take that.Another point pro racers do 50 laps of a racetrack twice a day,(5-7km/lap) & workout 3-4hrs. per day.Its not the bike, its the rider which makes the DIFFERENCE!!!
Selva | 6 years ago2 ReplyIf you can ride sports bike for over 200 or 150 Kms .. you can go for it.... it offers a great quality and liquid cooled system makes it much more better for long rides and fuel injection system makes it better than other sports bike like pulsars
Pondni | 3 years ago1 ReplyHello, I have v3 bs6 and I ride 647 km in one day and the average speed was 70-90 I maintained. It's totally depends on your patience and practice coz seating position is very aggressive , not problem on my back due to back turn 45 degree that is the relax position of seating for back only but lots of pain on my hand I ever feel after 500 km specially while my bike was on bad road, really it was really very painful feels of my hand otherwise all was ok no major issue found
RahulMahato | 5 years ago0 ReplyNo it isn't suitable for long rides. It's made for race and so is very aggressive in terms of sitting. Cornering is bery good and with slipper clutch you have less chance of getting your wheels locked under lower rpm.
Anonymous | 5 years ago1 ReplyIt's based on distance you ride. I say no for 300 or more kms in one streach with some breaks. and being the sportier bike I demands you to be more. committed in riding which you may be pushed to take more breaks.
Arjun | 5 years ago0 ReplyAlthough the R15 isn't known as a touring bike, I've personally taken it for long rides of a few hundred kilometres a day. I've enjoyed it very much and not had any issues at all of any kind.
Hemanth | 5 years ago0 ReplyYeah it is but see it totally depends on the riders the choice you make v3 can do it's best but you'll experience pain in the back and wrists take care of that as it's supersport it happens
Hyder | 4 years ago2 ReplyYes & No. it’s your will power and commitment. And how much you want to carry with you for the trip. Check the requirements for your trip, the road condition, places you will stop and then make a plan
Royal | 5 years ago0 Reply@ Kiran | Short answer is no but it depends if you are riding in highways and taking rest or breaks in between you can do long rides or else it is extremely uncomfortable to ride due to its riding position and if you still wish to do long rides on it then try changing its handlebars to get a more upright position .you can change it from authorised service centres
You can't change handle bar.. because I try to change to straight handle bar..it's not possible to fix the handle bar because it hits the windshield.and you cant turn the bike in this position..if you want to fix the straight handle bar then you have to alter or remove the headlight section..
Prasanth | 5 years ago1 ReplyIt completely depends on your riding posture. A Taller guy will find it easy Compared to a shorter one. And Pillion would be adding much more difficulty for long rides.
Jo | 5 years ago2 ReplyIt can be used but is inappropriate it has race gene .its like telling vitendet sehwag to bat for 2 days don't go for big hits and 50 runs is enough! Thanks.
Yasir | 4 years ago0 ReplyOf course but only solo not with pillion you also take luggage with you for more information you can visit my YouTube channel ( Yasir Alam ) channel name
Sabari | 7 years ago9 ReplyDepends on the posture you are riding. If you ride with legs tucked in and head guarded by windshield, you can ride for long. If you are putting your body weight on your hands and leave the wind blast to hit you, you cannot ride for long.
Rakesh | 4 years ago0 ReplyAfter you get use to it you can ride long distances. It is very fun bike on long stretch of roads 😊😊🤟🤟but not for 1000km long rides
Richard | 5 years ago2 ReplyProblem is b**t will start to ache and burn , no problems on riding position . but I use to take it for long rides Caz I'm used to it🤪
Prabir | 4 years ago0 ReplyFirst you need 2 KNOW 'HOW 2 SIT'... search on UTUBE.... The more you ride, the more fun you will have !Enjoy Your Ride !
Nitin Khanchandani | 5 years ago2 ReplyNo, at first ride you wnt be comfortable, bt after few rides you might find comfortable, and it completely depends upon your riding posture.
Arunabh | 6 years ago1 ReplyThe machine causes more of trouble in city riding with a con of engine heating issues . the v3 is much more suitable for highway rides as such causes no issue in comfort or any sorts of aches .
Anshul | 4 years ago0 ReplyYes.dont listen to other if they have problem so it is not necessary that you will also face the problem
Ronny | 4 years ago0 ReplyYes it is good for long rides but it also depends on your height and weight plus luggage but all the way it is good for tour.
Vaghela | 6 years ago4 ReplyYes but you should have a good sense of how to sit while cruising and how to maintain sitting posture
James | 6 years ago1 ReplyYes, im already 50years old, just do not put your weight on your hand, practice and you will know

SiddhantKumar | 5 years ago0 ReplyI would say no because R15 is more sporty machine then a touring machine.
M | 5 years ago0 ReplyThis bike is a race model bike and not a cruise one so for long distance riding this is not an advisable bike.
