You hit the nail on the head. Honda had two low displacement dct bikes that sold horribly because they had no cool factor, cost way too much, and came in ADV and Cruiser formats, both of which young people have no interest in.
They have a cvt in the super cub but thats just too small for the price.
Honda seems to be the only ones interested in making smaller clutchless bikes though.
