When they went to the NC750X in 2018 in the US, the rev limit was upped to 7500rpm because they added a rear counterbalancer shaft.

For the 2018 model, my understanding is in addition to going to manual mode to override the shift points in the tranny, one can also choose to select "sport" (?) behaviour when in automatic mode. I reckon the sport setting allows the tranny to stay in a gear longer during acceleration. The added RPM red line ceiling probably reduces the frequency of hitting the engine limiter.

RE CBR: A colleague used to claim reaching 300 km/h. That is a different world to me.

One thing that is obvious, it is far different than the NC7xxX DCT, or heck, anything road DCT.

I don't dispute whatever was said here but I like standard tranny and shifting gears...
Wing = big/heavy bike...maybe DCT..???
Good luck to all

DCT-based Gold Wings appear to be a significant hit at three Honda dealerships I have visited. Existing G.Wingers appear to be choosing DCT 4:1 leaving the standard gearbox models on the floor.

take the DCT version and with DCT in the auto mode D or Sport...so you have never any rpm problems ! ! ! bcos DCT changes always the gears befor you come in the limiter and of the otherside it changes aleways befor you kill the engine bcos to low rpms

btw. the NC engine is a torque-motor..you need not this rpms...

why must be a bike heavy / big for DCT ?

why must be the bike a commuter ?

---------------------------------------

nobody changes the gears self so fast like DCT does .....and DCT changes the gears always in the best torque/rpm relation....

I don't think PB's comment was for any technical reason. Maybe just leveraging his standard gear shift pride Smile

, which would be natural position for many.

When my tendons stop performing at their best, I hope to have the option and access to fun on something like a DCT-based (or pure electric) machine.

love shifting bikes, not cars = atm only Smile

RE: CTX 700 DCT/ABS - GoldOxide_imp - 02-12-2019

A standard shift car is pointless in Toronto and the greater surrounding region. I suppose not unlike L.A.
