I have been looking at these futuristic bikes and I can't wait to ride one. Has anyone even seen one in the wild? I have not....

No new DCT motorcycle models are currently available In the USA with an engine size less than 745cc. If you want an automatic transmission on a 250, a scooter with CVT would be an option.I'm looking for a 250 with the DCT. Anybody got one?
I own one. (Also a NC700X)
Buy and ride it for the styling. There's nothing else quite like it.
I like that it has an exotic outer skin, but the mechanical underpinnings of the Honda NC700X. Looks exotic, but without the exotic headaches.
PROs:
Super cool looking, if you liked Akira. If you don't like it, nothing will convince you otherwise.
Low seat height
Helpful rear pillion turns into a backrest
Honda NC700X engineered and reliable
CONs:
Storage is comical-- pre COVID, I went to ride it to the gym, but couldn't fit my gym shoe in the saddlebag. Funny and sad
Fuel is gauge is inaccurate. Normally not a big deal, but when display starts flashing, you can't see the trip meter to gauge how many miles you put on this tank of gas.
Low and lazy cruiser style suspension/seating transmits harsh bumps
I'm glad I bought it, because it's a neat, reliable ride. Great, every day, your-only-bike kind of ride? Well, probably not. The NC700X is though...
I've always liked unique bikes like that, but the riding position and price were both uncomfortable to me,
Did you ever see the Honda DN-01? A more traditional look, with the best side mirrors ever! It had an automatic transmission too, though I am reading discrepancies about whather it's a CVT, HFT or DCT. It might have paved the way for the NC bikes:
