I don't know anything about motorcycle touring, but I do know that when the talk turns to bicycle touring, the smart guys in the room will always tell the newbees to DRAMATICALLY reduce the number of miles that you plan to do per day. For instance, even though you know you can ride a bicycle 100 miles in a day, plan to ride 30 miles per. The reason for this is your chances of being behind schedule and thus feeling hurried and taking on more than you should are greatly reduced.
(After awhile you get better at knowing your day to day limitations and can estimate time on a more granular level)
