Sounds good, but I'd like to try it, I'm not sure how it would work when your say.................... looking ahead at a slow twist back, or preparing to get past a car with limited room - could it keep up? Ideal for most touring though ;)

The automatic version of the Honda NT1100 seems fairly popular. Apparently they've sold around 8000 of the DCT models in Europe since it came out in 2022.

Bring it on. I doubt I'll be able to afford a new one and I'll need to stick around for another ten years or so to get a used one but why not? I'm surviving out of spite these days anyway..... :mrgreen:
