It was also the first time I sat on a DCT bike. The clutch lever is replaced with a small finger switch. Looked and felt strange to me.

how tall are you?

I too sat on one expecting a seating position too much like that of a supersport, especially looking at those clip ons, but surprisingly it felt okay!

I'm 1m84.

DCT is the future.
If I woild buy a touring bike, next to my cb, it has to be a semi automatic system or Hondas full automatic scooter like twist and go system.

I'm 5'10" with a 32" inseam. I really felt like I was lying on top of the tank. But you know, it was a used bike I sat on, it's possible the original owner had lower bars of some sort on it.

I haven't ridden a DCT bike yet. Reviews on it are very mixed. But you're right, CVT is becoming much more popular on cars, and I guess over time DCT will follow something similar.
