There a black VFR1200x for sale and I was very attracted to it - but much heavier than the Africa Twin. Plus the huge power of the motor was a bit daunting. I have no business with that much power off the right wrist. Big Grin

A local buddy picked up a 2018 DCT Africa Twin and he LOVES the DCT. He has ridden for years (used to be a Honda dealer in WI back in the day too) and he was seduced straight away.

I am hearing a lot of the same in person. These opinions seem to concur with our European breatherin who have had access to similarly Honda-DCT-equipped machines for a few years more.
