Here's his report:
I had a short test ride on the NT1100 today. It is a nice, refined motorcycle, well equipped, handles well, turns well, carries its weight well, accelerates well, has comfortable suspension and has good protection from screen and fairing. I rode it back to back with my 2016 Strom1000.
It is more refined than my Strom overall, and better equipped as standard. Will one displace my Strom ? Nope.
What did I not like ?
Overly complex switch gear and the need to carry the handbook at all times to figure it all out.
The motor is good but the Strom is stronger in the useable rev range.
The DCT system does not function as smoothly as it does on my 2017 X-Adv.
I am glad to have ridden it and I believe it should be a good seller for Honda over these parts. I didn't feel inspired by it though, and was as happy as ever blatting along on the backroads on my Strom on the way home.
I have never liked DCT !
Have you ridden one [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB? Particularly the 1000/1100 cc class units?

No, and I am not going to ride or/and buy any bike with dual clutch!

Then it is not about what you like or don't like. It is about something else. To be clear, that is okay too.
