So yes, its not outfitted as a tourer, BUT it is an awesome bike to tour on. During the summer, I ride 4000-6000+ mile rides on my 2014 CB1100DX outfitted with a windscreen and soft luggage. Its a very comfortable long distance ride at any speed (up to 110mph). But yeah, I envision a ST1300 or FJR1300 outfitted with hard luggage might be more convenient and maybe look prettier. Just my opinion 
No, you are dead right. I think most people understand the bikes limitations and I wasn't trying to say you couldn't tour on it more like there are better bikes to do it on. Judging by peoples signatures I think most people know this too. I am so glad I have one in my garage though, I love the simplicity.
