NT1100 coming to the USA - FOR REALS!

[MidLife]

All that aside I'd really like a mid-size bike with DCT that has an old school UJM look.

Mainly found on the larger bikes for the added weight. DCT version of the NT1100 is 22 lbs heavier.

Smaller bikes will probably get their E-Clutch.

After the ST the NT would be a mid-size bike to me. To some it's an oversized scooter. I'm just not crazy about the look. I viewed my V65 Sabre as mid-size. Even my GL1000. I saw one a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how much smaller it seemed to the ST. A V-65 Sabre with DCT...

Even an 850.

Absolutely zero interest in an oversized scooter. DCT is for people who don't know how to ride motorcycles

Not so sure, After my German Bakery Run to Colorado Springs and the return trip home through the foothill's back canyons with my V-Strom 650, my 75 year old left wrist was thinking about that DCT. Where I do my daily rides there is a lot of shifting up and down through the canyons. Going to give it some thought. I have been riding for over 43 years. I believe I can and know how to ride motorcycles. Each to his own.

Sad that so many still associate manhood with shifting.

Back in the 70's, we thought a Honda 750 was a huge bike.

Sad that so many still associate manhood with shifting.

Manhood is only associated with shifting in your mind. I prefer shifting on a bike. On a car, give me an automatic. Does that make me less of a man? It doesn't have to be either or.
