For touring is good. Just need to install higher windshield. However if you plan to do touring on road only then best buy Vesys 1000, Tracer 9 or Suzuki S1000GX. The reason I buy this 800DE because sometime during touring I see some place that are interesting that are not pave which I like to explore. So for me is 85% on road and 15% off road. So inconclusion, this bike has more touring options which I can explore. However as this bike is taller and heavy, it really take some time to master. So best for you now is go and test as many similar bikes as possible before you buy.
