This subject has been discussed at length but I want to open a new conversation. I sold my manual transmission NC700X a year ago thinking I might have another NCX at some point but I would try the DCT version next time. I rode my 6 speed model over two years 29,000 miles and was quite familiar with it. Great bike and I still miss it so....
The time may be at hand again and a low mileage 2014 DCT is at hand and the price is close to right. I'm still concerned I may not like not shifting but darn American Honda I want ABS and the only way to get it is to buy a DCT version. My local dealer, a great one who I really like, will let me test ride a 2015 DCT bike but the one I want is fitted out with luggage and a few things that make the deal sweet. I don't want to lead my friendly local dealer on then buy the other one. Yeah, I'm a Boy Scout but I will have to see those guys again and I don't want to feel like I was less than honest in order to con a test ride. Plus a test ride will be 50 mile or less and I won't get a lot of time to try the different DCT shifting options.
Anyway, I'm seeking opinion from riders of DCT bikes and I'd have to give more weight to those that have experience with manual shift bikes and the DCT.
Thanks!
