My bet is the 3018 Gold Wing has a removable trunk, thus it becomes F6B-like. As for the size of the engine, difficult to judge from the picture. I'd like the automatic with shifter paddles for manual control. It will be expensive, so I like my F6B even more for now.

That's what my CTX has - automatic with shifter toggles (both on the left side). You can leave it in "auto" mode and it will choose when to shift. Or you can click to manual and you decide. Yes, you can bang the rev limiter real easy! But it also has smarts - if you slow down without downshifting it will do so before you'd bog the engine. Still need to manually upshift though (if you're in manual mode).Originally Posted by F6Bster
Nothing like having a big click off 50 msec shifts at the touch of a toggle!
I am all over this if it's what it will be. And I agree, it looks like the F6B is the GW, just without the trunk. Hopefully it's a "pop on/off" or at most "bolt on/off" part for the rear, meaning I can get the full-boat GW but only put the rear trunk on the scoot when I have a long trip or the wife comes along!

The "talk" is that the DCT will be an upscale option. The alternative being a 6 spd manual/traditionalMy heritage is Dutch......

I read an article where the DCT will actually have 7 forward gears and a reverse gear!!!
Yes that is the talk. No more reverse using the starter but an actual reverse gear. Not sure if the 6 spd manual will have the reverse or not. Hopefully.I read an article where the DCT will actually have 7 forward gears and a reverse gear!!!

I believe this is 100% correct. Honda has done it for every DCT bike they've released EXCEPT the very limited edition NM4. All other DCT bikes have had manual options as well. No reason to think this won't continue!
