There was an interview with a Honda engineer on Visordown (I think) and he was talking about how they want to ,and are currently working to, adapt the DCT to Sportbikes -- the only problem being the weight penalty. Even with the 10kg weight penalty of the DCT one of their sport bikes fitted with a DCT would be faster than an equal manual transmission bike. Apparently if they could put a DCT on their Moto GP bike it would be faster than a bike of the same weight using their current seamless gearbox (I. E., the current RC213 with 10kg of ballast added).
