I have ridden the CTX700 with DCT. As much as I appreciate the innovation and engineering of Honda's products, DCT is not for me.
I guess I have reached the 'old dagnabit' stage of life where change is hard. The vast majority of auto's now come standard with an auto trans so I can understand the appeal of an auto trans bike. It might even be nice on a sidecar rig. I could probably get used to that eventually. I found the shifter paddle thingies just awkward and imprecise. I just missed the 'bump the clutch and snick' into each gear change of Honda's transmissions.
