Dear Activedirt,
I completely share your opinion on your original post. I was thrilled to read that someone else shares my opinion on the clutch issue. I just recently purchased an Africa Twin DCT and really miss the clutch for the slower speed maneuvering and keeping the bike super smooth when coasting to slow down. I know that I will really miss it when I have a passenger on board to keep the ride as smooth as possible.
While I appreciate the benefits of the DCT, that's why I bought one, I wonder if the Honda engineers forgot that a clutch is not just for changing gears. A DCT with a supplemental left hand clutch would be the perfect bike in my opinion.
