I have been riding for about 7 years now, currently have a Fazer 1000, have developed a neurological problem in my left lower leg which means at the moment I am unable to ride due to being unable to change gear. Was wondering if anyone had ridden an automatica/ clutch less bike as if this problem doesn't resolve I may have to get one. Thanks in advance for any replies.

"Have few friends who have them and they love them, bets think would be to go to dealer and test ride one.
What you thinking Africa twin  "
Thank you for your reply, not sure which one but will test drive one and see how it goes if I can't get back to riding mine |

Have ridden the previous model NC750X DCT and the previous model Africa Twin (1000) DCT. Takes some getting used to, would recommend getting trained to use it properly. Honda do training on them at their training school. Fantastic bit of kit though and definitely something I'd consider in the future. Current bike has a quick shift up and down so managing with that ok for now, but if my dodgy nerve damaged hand gets any worse, DCT will be the way to go! |

I had an 2016 Africa Twin DCT. I Loved it. I did some off road and it was fine.
The only issue I had was when needing to move very slowly I could never work out when the bite point would be. That was on a 2016 machine and I know the 2018 DCT was an improvement.
Overall though it was excellent. |

Thank you, have been looking at them both online. |

I've had the NC750x DCT since 2018 and it's Ben a revelation!
Coming from a 2009 Kawasaki Z1000 I know it would chalk and cheese, but it's just such a capable, flickable bike, and the DCT is the icing on the cake.
Bought primarily as a new job meant commuting from Essex to SW London each day, the DCT and fuel efficiency were key factors.
What I didn't expect was that the really low centre of gravity (fuel tank is beneath you!) and the sport 3 mode would actually make it a fun bike at the weekends!
One thing if advise if you're considering it, is perhaps skip the current ride by wire throttle, as there have been a fair number of stalling issues reported, and indeed I believe a recall is underway as this is rather dangerous at a junction for instance  |

"Have you looked At these kits? You use a hand clutch but all the gear selection is on a button.

I didn't know about that so I will look it up.
Thanks |

Thank you for reply, am doing lots of research so is very helpful, even though weather is rubbish I am missing getting out on my bike
