Probably depends on the type of riding you do. I picture the FJR as a sport tourer, designed for 500-600 miles days, heading out West from the Eastern US (or similar.)
Although I've traveled out West several times on my old BMW R100GS and later on my Guzzi 1200 Sport, both of these bikes are intended to eat up the miles. Have to admit, a riding buddy and I took two Triumph Bonnevilles (a 2001 and 2003) from Cleveland to Arizona, then to Wyoming and back home. Not a problem. So I guess you can tour on a variety of bike types.
I cannot imagine the CB being anything like the FJR. If you do big miles and long multi day trips, maybe the FJR is the right bike.
Just my thoughts.
