I have "toured" with my CB, but realistically crossing the continent I take the ST. The small tank on the CB (compared to purpose built tour bikes) is the limiting factor for the CB, IMHO. But then I am spoiled by the 7 gallons in my ST. I have a luggage rack and a clear windscreen on the CB so it is quite un-farkeled. I just bungie a large duffle bag with camp gear on the rack/pillion. It creates a back rest for me. The CB is so smooth and my choice of roads is secondary and county highways. The CB just burbles along at 3K RPM 55/60MPH and yields 50/55 MPG.
But then I began my riding in the mid '60's on a 200cc 2 stroke Suzuki that I routinely rode on weekend camping trips; all probably under 200 miles out. That was true iron butt riding.
