Just making some observations here: Folks seem to praise the reduction in motorcycle controls. We've pretty much done away with the fuel petcock and the manual choke. The need to insert and turn a key is going away. DCT takes away the clutch.
I have to wonder if the next step in controls reduction is a single brake control, as automobiles have. The rider will need only concern themselves with a throttle, a single brake lever, and steering. Riders of the single brake lever motorcycle could tout the safety advantage of having ones feet always available to support the motorcycle. Laws will probably need to change before manufacturers can simplify to a single brake lever.
I'm not stating any opinion on the values or my preference for DCT or manual, just observing the trend.
What scooter have you been riding David. Every scooter I've ridden has two brake controls.It's called 'scooter'..
