I rented and rode an NC 700 DCT on the Angeles Crest for over 200 miles a few years back. It was...adequate. Having a Speed Triple there now puts it in perspective.
The NC was Nice enough, and it makes for a good all weather, comfy bike for those looking for high- quality, lo- drama adequacy in a motorbike. The diesel- esque power delivery, 5k redline, and fun- sucking DCT made it feel like the scooter that it was derived from, but bikes like that have their place.
I'd find it an ideal NYC or urban bike, especially with that roo- pouch where the gas tank should be. Good weather protection. Ferret, you indicated you're heading into your dotage () so it might work out for you. In that I'm only 59, I have a while to go before I'd settle!!
(There needs to be an emoji for good natured ball- busting!)
