I just read up on the DCT in my latest Cycle World magazine, they had an article about the new VFR1200
...its pretty cool, they said it shifted so smoothly that you could upshift while accelerating around corners and the bike wouldn't even move from the smooth transmission shifting

yeah, it also coming in an automatic and manual with button shifting, saying it would shift faster than a human could shift it creating better acceleration

They are starting to do some amazing stuff. I heard they also have developed a anti lock break. These new features will make these bikes unreal...

Me either, I learned on a quad, and don't want it. However, it is supposed to help you perform.
