Re: Another DCT Honda Option
more DCT models must mean they are selling right? good to see the DCT being adopted across more of the range! when i run my NC into the ground which at this rate is going to be many years i'd love to try one of the larger engined DCT bikes.

Re: Another DCT Honda Option
Doesn't a Scottoiler or similar solve almost all of the problems a chain brings? I've never had a PTW with a chain, but if I did, I presume that an oiler would help a lot. How many miles will a chain on an 750X last? OK, like how long is a piece of string, but I've no idea how long a chain might last.

Re: Another DCT Honda Option
Just noticed that there's another Honda DCT option - the Gold Wing!! Yours for a mere £24k (for the basic version!).

Re: Another DCT Honda Option
I do like the Gold wing, if I had space and money for such a beast,
It has excellent reviews everywhere, I would go for the bagger over the full version personally, and nearly new ones can be had for around £17k which is a lot, but a bit better than £30k + for the full monty version...

Re: Another DCT Honda Option
I thought about buying a ‘Wing with DCT they were heavily discounted last year but I’d have had to sell my other bikes and I don’t do high mileage anymore and getting one out to go shopping lol. Bought a new Honda Jaz instead with DCT and I love it.Interested in the new 750 Forza when I can get to look at one

Re: Another DCT Honda Option
I was appalled by the weight and awkardness of the Pan European I owned for 3 weeks, so I'm certainly not going to dabble in something that weighs 100kg more - unless they fit it with stabiliser wheels!!!
