A day of two half's..... And an odd first post?
Having considered the purchase of the AT, I booked a ride with my local dealer of choice. A bright, dry if chilly morning looked like the perfect backdrop to sample the "interesting" DCT offering.
Although I've been riding bikes for over 40 years (yikes) I took time to absorb the considered advice from my friendly salesman on the workings, and characteristics of the one levered variant. So far so good. Took the bike over a mixed route, with the intention of being able to make a fully considered discision over the potential purchase. Well that didn't take long? About 5 miles out and I'm sold! What a great, fun, involving machine.
Back to dealership, PM (Blackbird) negotiated, and order placed:smile2:
So you may think I'm now a very happy chap?
Logged in on the forums (like you do in search of anything relevant) and learn of two recent issues relating to the DCT models seemingly developing a mind of their own:surprise:
So......... Now a slightly nervous potential purchaser, watching with interest the unfolding autopsy and Honda solution!
(Still love the bike, and having had many Honda bikes and cars over the years, remain confident there will be a positive outcome)
Those effected, do keep the rest of us updated.
Anyway good to be here, great forum!
