It got me to thinking about Hondas DCT offerings ( which IMO ties into this conversation about Honda trying different things for motorcycles in the US. The ergos on a scooter are great. Up right seating, hands in a natural place, feet can be anywhere from sport bike to cruiser and anywhere in between. I tend to ride mine like a motorcycle, feet under my hips. I thought what a great motorcycle this would make. At least the concept of it. It got me to thinking how enjoyable a NC700 DCT might be. I'm going to have to test ride one in the spring for grins and see how they compare.
I have a god brother who traded in his well used 1000 on a 650 Burgman 3 years ago and he loves it. It's a dry ride with lots of storage and lots of power. I am always surprised when he pours the gas to it and tears down the road. Always a hoot on summer poker runs. He rides everyday in all weather, he feels it's the best commuter ride.
