My CB1100 works great on long haul trips. I may be somewhat biased since all my bikes have always been UJM types. Never really had anything that would be considered a proper touring bike.
I like being able to pop a big windshield on the CB11, toss some soft bags over the rear seat and hit the road. It's got excellent road manners and the inline 4 makes for a smooth ride as fast as you care to go on the slab.
I've got a 30" inseam and I can flatfoot it easily. In addition to the lower Japanese seat there are also low aftermarket seats available.
Don't worry about air cooling. I've spent 30 yrs. riding air cooled bikes in the blistering AZ heat and it's not a problem as long as you keep moving.
