The CB is good (enough) for touring.
There are motorbikes on the market that are build especially for touring. For me it is more a question of, is the rider able to tour? You can tour on any motorbike and I saw riders on all kinds of motorbikes on my camping trips around Europe. Even on fully packed sport bikes.
The Honda as an all around bike is a good touring bike.
I use a windshield not too small or too big and can ride for hours on highways with 120 - 140km/h without being disturbed by wind. A tankbag also helps. In addition highwaypegs let me alter the leg-and seating position if I want to.
If you use saddlebags and a packroll you have enough room for all your camping stuff.
What I like about the CB is its torquey engine. You don't have to rev it hard no matter where you ride. It always pulls and don't take too much fuel. In average round about 4,5l on 100km. But it depends on how fast you ride.
So, tour with the CB! You will not be dissapointed and wherever you stop, rest or park your bike people and you will love to look at this big oldschool aircooled motor(bike) and more often than less you will be drawn into interested conversations about the Honda. What can a motorbike do better than to be a nice commuter and communication topic?
