As a big Honda DCT fan (Africa Twin) I always wondered why nobody else is offering an alternative. Finally the market is catching up and many "this is not riding a motorbike" haters will be shifting automated too ;-) . As long as I can run it on a manual mode, I never understood the critics on their quickshifters. I look forward to seeing the development of these systems. Thanks for the review. I want to give it a try myself.

I've done heaps of miles with a Honda NM4 (yes) with a fairly early version of DCT - from Estonia to Nordkapp, Alps and most recently Romania. It allows me to focus on the scenery, the twisties, the traffic in large foreign towns, etc.. I recently sold it and picked up an R1250RS and to be fair.. once they release a R1300RS with this version, I'm probably switching to it. I don't really miss shifting gears to be honest. But I also do enjoy it at times (though, all automatics allow an override anyway).

It is just an automated manual gearbox which is old technology in semi trucks for years already. My 2012 Iveco Stralis 480 worked the same. This tech only seems to be making its way now into smaller vehicles. DCT on the other hand is effectively two three speed gearboxes, each with its own clutch hence the extra weight and split second shifting speeds. An AM will never be as smooth as a DCT, it is just not possible. So two helmets will always be knocking
