Did you get a chance to try it 2 up?
How’s the screen and seat comfort? (NB. a bit of wind on a motorcycle is acceptable to me)
The screen was very good for me at 6’1”and we rode two up for about an hour.No Complaints from pillion.
Seat comfort is good but it’s quite soft and could be dit from a firmer ‘comfort seat’, which will no doubt be available.*
It’s a bit lower than the AT and the bike feels more planted with the 17” wheels.*
And you ride a GS850 ??? Pot Kettle.

I should probably point out that I am typing this in my kitchen at home and the launch is in Spain, I think….
But how hard can it be to be a motorcycling journalist ??
Could you have a bit of craic on it in the twisty's.....sans luggage??Just about to jump on a go for a ride.

Some reports appearing on uTube now. It looks better than the still pictures suggested. In fact I think it looks pretty mean from the front.
Switch gear looks a mess with cruise on rhs.

The more I look at this, the more I think I much prefer the new Guzzi V100 Mandello. 
Looking good except for 2 things. Chain drive, and small panniers. I don’t suppose either of those things will be deal breakers.

Have not seen the reviews or opened any videos, but when I look at this last one here, the front looks like a mini Goldwing (or is that just me??) I have to admit I dont follow Honda bikes although I did almost buy a Crosstourer recently.............
Looks like a scooter.
Eeeew.

the Mandello looks like a Griso/Breva marriage with a dash of Augusta styling...
Scooter with a need to downshift for overtakes..sounds like an AT

Interesting report. Personally I think it’s quite cheap for what you get, and the DCT does get better with mileage on it.
But what if you want a modern bike with integrated Apple CarPlay for using Google maps on a TFT, take a pillion and want Honda reliability ?
And the DCT option is perfect for this kind of bike.
Then you wouldn't be seeking advice from me, fanboi.
