Well nobody answered your question...It is hugely different. Kind of like comparing a pony (the CB) to a draft horse (the GW). It will be a beast at low speed with a passenger aboard. But like others have said, nothing better on the highway at speed. Check the weight (910 lbs!) of the beast and add you and your passenger and luggage and you could be over 1300 lbs! The max load carrying is listed at 417 lbs (people and baggage)-that means that just about every two-up touring GW is overloaded.
If you and your wife are only going to tour once or twice a year, or take shorter trips, you might consider my other ride- a Honda NT700V. You can get one for less than 6 grand.
