Kind of an idiotic thing to say, never understood why someone would bash another motorcycle brand, how in the world can you have disdain for another manufacturer, yours apparently is a very uninformed comment.
Own a 2014 CB1100 and like it a lot, great little bike.
But my current touring bike is a 2020 Harley Davidson Low Rider, prior to this bike I toured on a Road King. This Low Rider on last summers trip even without a windshield was smooth as butter on the super slab, longest day was 883 miles from Grand Rapids, MI to Mitchell, SD, piece of cake.
I can pop some bags and a windshield on her if I want and she'll take me anywhere I want in comfort.
Its a great bike with plenty of power, am very happy with it.

(+1) Never owned one, but ridden them. They are not comfortable and not agile. Nevertheless, they are a part of the global riding fabric.

OK I have to call BS on this. Maybe some aren't as agile as others, but to lay a blanket statement out there saying they are uncomfortable is ridiculous.
I have been touring on Harleys for years with many 600 mile plus days, set the cruise, kick back and let the miles roll by.
Oh, and when was the last time you had a van full of Italian tourists pull up by you at a scenic turnout so they can take pictures of your Honda?
