I haven't owned it very long but I can assure it is not a touring bike. To light to carry rider and much luggage for long haul and definitely not comfortable for more than 1 1/2 to 2 hrs before stretch stop.
The numerous folks that rode the NC to Alaska or cross country should have checked in with you first!
I'm planning a 2018 Alaska ride from the midwest. I'll probably take the NC since the Goldwing is just too much bulk to haul up there for only one rider. Smaller and lighter is better.
