The bike is comfortable for touring as long as you like the forward posture of riding a sports bike, as opposed to the sit back posture of a cruiser. The best thing is the motor, if it has been set up well. It needs good carbs (mine has 36mm Delortos)which must be very carefully tuned and balanced (one of my carbs has a smaller idle jet than the other).Then if you get the ignition timing spot on, you have motor like no other, with zero vibration and tons of torque. The problem now is the tyres - they are very hard to get (not made any more). You might have to replace the 16-inch wheels with 17-inch ones. Then the handling will be not quite so exciting, but still better than not having a 750 Paso. Good luck!
