Cycleworld has an updated article https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcy...confirmed/ that puts the DCT version wet weight at 547 pounds/248 kg (wet). That is no mid weight machine. Will Honda price competitively like the 1100 Rebel to compete with the big selling Yamaha 9GT or go way upmarket like they have with the Africa Twin? The non DCT is 524pounds/237kkg which is more reasonably but watch them shoot themselves in the foot by not offering a quick-shifter to push the DCT sales instead. You will know they have really lost the plot if they don't put cruise control on it, a mistake they couldn't possibly make today surely?
