Yes I've always liked the idea of the DCT but after 45 years of using a clutch lever I think I would keep trying to grab the none existent clutch lever .

But I’m already used to the DCT, I have it on my Goldwing.
When I first had a test ride on a DCT wing it only took about 10 minutes around town to have my biase towards a manual box overturned.
I'd only done 35 yrs on bikes before getting my Africa Twin DCT....it only took 10 minutes to get used to it and if you reach for 'the clutch'....there's nothing there so you soon stop ( I slip seemelsssly between a DCT bike and one with a clutch)
Had email from wheels at Peterborough to inform me there nx500 demo should be ready later next week,
Might have a ride up and see if there interested in my cb500xh as a trade in just depends what they're offering as I don't want to give it away as I might as well keep it,

I liked the look of it, but had my head turned by a nice NC750X- DCTHad email from wheels at Peterborough to inform me there nx500 demo should be ready later next week,

From what I’ve seen on forums and FB groups, ok, not necessarily representative, people buy the 500 because it’s cheap, reasonably light and easy to manhandle, and tolerable on gravel trails. The extra cost, weight and complexity of DCT might not be a big selling point. I imagine though, that if you’re used to a Gold Wing then an NC750 DCT is light and simple!
Agreed, but I don’t do off road anyway so weight isn’t to much of an issue.
They might do an NX500 with e-clutch in future

Yes, the e-clutch seems like an excellent device, I’d have one of those.

I'd say the CB500X is a great bike for lots of things, possibly the best bike I ever owned. Motorways ate hard work, but even there I managed 900km in one day going through Spain. The fuel economy there went to 4.8 litres a hundred KM which was very bad. For Morocco and West Ireland, a perfect bike.
You could probably edit what you wrote ... if you could be bothered to read it (sorry - pet hate)

Too late, sorry, a mobile phone is not the best way to post.
Certainly sounds like a winner.
Here we go, guys.
