That‘s a broad question. Do you mean on vehicles or motorcycles in general, on Honda motorcycles, or specifically within the NC product line?Any new DCTs on the horizon??
Honda's first or any other maker.That‘s a broad question. Do you mean on vehicles or motorcycles in general, on Honda motorcycles, or specifically within the NC product line?
As Far As I Know, about as far as I can spit and keep my teeth in my mouth, Honda has no plan to bring the sooterish looking X-ADV here and let them sit in on a dealers showroom floor at 11+ grand each.Has anyone heard of the Honda X-ADV coming to the USA?
Well that sucks, I'd buy one.As Far As I Know, about as far as I can spit and keep my teeth in my mouth, Honda has no plan to bring the sooterish looking X-ADV here and let them sit in on a dealers showroom floor at 11+ grand each.
I think the one thing that limits the DCT being applied to other bike styles is the power output of the stator.Any new DCTs on the horizon??
I agree. How can you well something when you know less than the buyer! The salesman, if you want to call him that had zero knowledege. If he was paid hourly or salary he sure wasn't worth what the dealer was paying.It doesn't really matter, since dealers have no idea how to sell motorcycles.
Look in Cycletrader for a new NC and almost all the ads only show stock photos, with no pics of the actual bike. And NEVER any bikes with needed accessories, like centerstands, power ports, heated grips, tailracks, etc... And even with a depression coming... no discounts!
Reduced cost = wider model useI notice they removed the dual clutches in that patent app (from 2017 in Japan). As the ADVRider press piece indicates, it appears at first blush to be more similar to a quick-shifter than the current DCT. That said, I think the patent app indicates or at least leaves open the option to have much more broad control of the clutch. If they could make this shifting mechanism operate the clutch at very low speeds as well as the current DCT does (such as in the Africa Twin), they could reduce production cost quite a bit, by largely just adding this system on to their manually-operated gearboxes. They may not be able to do quite that, but nevertheless I'm thinking this is intended as a way to increase parts commonality and reduce system cost.
I enjoy my 2019 DCT much more than I thought I would. It really makes fun riding FUN!
