Honda NC700X DCT - One smooth transmission!

The 2012 NC700X DCT comes standard with ABS and a 6 speed Dual Clutch Gearbox.  The optional transmission uses two hydraulic clutches for smooth shifts, and works in three modes (seen here: ) "D" for every day use, "S" for sport, and "M" for manual, which operates via the "+" and "-" buttons on the right grip.  This transmission was first introduced on the 2010 Honda VFR1200F DCT but has seen a huge improvement in the smoothness of its operation.  Riding the 2 bikes back to back one notices that the transmissions shifts seemlessly on the NC700X DCT model.  We test rode our new unit predominantly in sport mode and found its shifts were just right for the aggressive rider.  Could this be the new transmission going into the 2013 Honda GoldWing?  Check back in November and find out!
