It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Over half of Goldwing sales are DCTs. Most NC750s were being sold with the DCT, so the manual was dropped, at least in Canada. IIRC ~40% of Africa Twins are sold with a DCT.

They work very well now, unlike the old Hondamatics, which were awful.

Edit. With everyone and their dog offering quick-shifters, even the manuals aren't really that manual anymore.

I own a ‘22 GW DCT. Absolutely love it. Especially in stop and go traffic. Only complaint is sometimes the shift points aren’t perfect. As in not where I would like to shift, but if I set the drive mode correctly it will adjust damn near close. Tour, sport, eco, rain.
