Good eye Nortoon I totally missed that. i was looking for an orange tank, not a chrome one as the giveaway.
May I ask 'why' to both statements?
Cormanus.. as far as the DCT trans, it is always in the right gear, you can't stall it, can't take off in the wrong gear, and you can concentrate on riding without thinking about the mechanics of shifting. Taking off uphill, stop and go traffic, not having to judge when to downshift for a curve vs rpms etc
As to why the F6B looking model would be a better tourer I have no idea where that's coming from. Basically same bike without a top box, and I don't think the tour is much heavier than the non tour model.

He contends, and I don't disagree, that the DCT could be very beneficial for her especially at low speeds. He also thinks that the regular Goldwing (no top case) is a much better motorcycle on the road than the Touring model.
