Seat suits me fine, I've ridden for periods of up to five hours with no discomfort whatsoever so it could be OK for you but probably only for solo touring....
....the pillion arrangements are somewhat spartan.
For me the big let down from a touring standpoint would be the complete absence of anything resembling a functioning mudguard at either front or rear.
Utterly hopeless, back of jacket filthy in light rain.
For touring probably better to go with a V-strom, but they're just so damn fugly (imo)
Regarding the 75bhp, its easily enough.
Many moons ago I went from a 75bhp GS850G to a 130bhp ZG1300A1 and as a general all round tourer the GS850G was the better bike.
Horsepower alone does not necessarily a good bike make.
