NT1100 Speculation Over

[VLJ_imp]

The solution to mickey's dilemma may be quite simple...

The NT1100 isn't offered for sale in the United States. No official word as to if or when it ever will be.
Another solution for mickey would be for him to grab that super-clean, low-mileage 2017 CB1100 EX in Maryland for only $6,500.

Ah, that's a shame. Still, EVERYONE needs the new BSA Goldstar 650cc in their garage!

One of the guys from Ireland on the NC forum test road the new NT 1100. First non motorcycle magazine test report I have read.

Here's his report:

I had a short test ride on the NT1100 today. It is a nice, refined motorcycle, well equipped, handles well, turns well, carries its weight well, accelerates well, has comfortable suspension and has good protection from screen and fairing. I rode it back to back with my 2016 Strom1000.

It is more refined than my Strom overall, and better equipped as standard. Will one displace my Strom ? Nope.

What did I not like ?

Overly complex switch gear and the need to carry the handbook at all times to figure it all out.

The motor is good but the Strom is stronger in the useable rev range.

The DCT system does not function as smoothly as it does on my 2017 X-Adv.

I am glad to have ridden it and I believe it should be a good seller for Honda over these parts. I didn't feel inspired by it though, and was as happy as ever blatting along on the backroads on my Strom on the way home.

I have never liked DCT !

I didn't like the 2 short test rides I took on DCT's, but after listening to actual owners and figuring they ALL couldn't be wrong, I decided I'd try one. Having ridden a DCT for over 11,000 miles now, I have to say it's pretty cool. Much easier on the left hand, right wrist and left foot. When I ride my DCT for a few days and then ride my CB, I usually end oup thinking Dang, that's a lot of shifting. Love the motor on my CB though. A DCT in a CB 1100 equivalent powered I-4 motor would be the snitz.

Have you ridden one [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB? Particularly the 1000/1100 cc class units?

The DCT is reported as top class in the Africa Twin as it can get an input from the onboard 6-Axis IMU which the NT1100 does not have. A lot of test riders find the NT can "chug" a little going up hill or they dislike decisions it takes to change gear at inappropriate times, e.g. mid cornering on a roundabout. The Africa Twin with 6-Axis data can make superior decisions and is supposed to be a much classier DCT experience.

No, and I am not going to ride or/and buy any bike with dual clutch!

Then it is not about what you like or don't like. It is about something else. To be clear, that is okay too.

Spent too much time testing variety of cars equipped with DCTs...as well as diagnosing & fixing them.
These do not impress me at all due to lack of engineering and jerky operations, even thou, I haven't ridden a bike equipped with one...so let me stop the conversation at this point.
