Howdy Legend and welcome to the forum.well I wouldn't call it a touring bike, but personally I have done maybe 1/2 dozen multi day/multi state trips on mine. Many 9 hour days and even a 12 hour day last year 698 miles basically non stop coming back from the CB rally last year.
Many here will tell similar stories.
2-3 hours? Piece of cake.
Next to your 650 Versys, the CB has more horsepower, better brakes, probably an equal seat, same number of gears in trans, same chain drive.
I wouldn't put it in the same class as a Versys 1000 or Concours though.
Then again you can buy a 14 left over for thousands less than either of those models.
