I would love to do it on the CB, but I think it would wear me out. That said, I went and test rode some Harley's; a 2015 Dyna Low Rider, 2017 Heritage Soft tail and a 2018 Road King. All had about 4k to 6k miles and priced from $12k to $15k. I had a blast riding each of these bikes. Love the big 103 and 107 engines. However, when I get back on the CB to ride home, I am so glad I own this bike. It is superior in every way. I won't be getting a Harley, but I am interested in what bike would be a good stablemate for the CB, one that is better suited for touring. Any opinions would be appreciated.
For touring you need some wind protection (also in the heat), comfortable riding position and luggage. May be you should have a look at the BMW F 800 GT or its predecessor F 800 ST. That's a good tourer but nevertheless allows agile handling and riding style and it is not too heavy.
The Harleys are not my cup of tea as for the feet in front position. I like the pegs below my center of gravity.
