Honda Crosstourer

[scotsy]

Have you tried out the DCT version? those that have it don't have the same problems with 'clunky' changes (gear ratios are differently spaced) although when going around town it does make some noise (clicks?) but absolutely no clunking, jerking or lurching, just a very smooth change which is only noticeable to the rider when he sees the dashboard gear position indicator digit change

It really is the best of both worlds when you can instantly swop from auto (drive or sport) and manual (handlebar buttons)

My first thoughts were to just leave it in sport mode all the time but nowadays tend to ride in drive or manual most of the time

I can also vouch for the top speed although using GPS also tells that the speedo is approx 10% fast but its the GRUNT thats the best part (and the growling sound coming from the intake when you twist the throttle)
