I've had an NC750 DCT but I ended up just using it in manual - I was getting no pleasure from using the DCT box. I'm in no way denying its capability or usefulness just that for me it detracts from the pleasure of riding at motorbike.
Slip and assist clutches (I still down blip, because it adds to my enjoyment), low RPM assist clutches are the limit of the assistance I would want.
We'll get enough electrickery on the forthcoming EVs 2 and 4 wheeled. I'll stick with what I've got thanks.
My sentiments also. I have two P/U trucks for transportation but our bikes are strictly for pleasure. I still rate the 1973 BMW the most satisfying motorcycle I've owned. Manual everything down to a kick start if the battery failed. It was so basic and easy to maintain. I'm glad that age will prevent seeing the changes that are coming.
