Wow I'd be hesitant to tell someone coming from a Wing that a naked CB would do as good of a job touring. The CB has plenty of power for touring, it's smooth enough, but comparatively speaking it is small and under equipped for serious touring. Many of us do use them for that set up with a shield, some soft luggage, a luggage rack, a few have even gone the hard bags route, but I would not call the CB 1100 a touring bike.
Do you ride only solo? Riding two up would exacerbate the issues.
BTW I have ridden my CB on multiple multi state trips thru Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Virginia, West Virginia, Colorado, Nebraska. Longest day was 698 miles in 12 hours, but done many 9 hour days. It does tour, but it's not a "touring bike" imo.
