I am a retired mechanical engineer living in Tonawanda, a suburb on the north side of Buffalo, NY USA.
I just joined the forum to learn more about these bikes. Currently riding a V-Star 1300 Deluxe and am ready to downsize due to side effects of aging. I've ridden a new CTX 700 DCT and thought that was what I wanted. But then I rode a used NC700 with manual transmission. I think I like the NC700 riding position better but want to ride a DCT version before I decide for sure.
I'll be reading a lot on this forum before I start asking questions.
