I was up in The Denver area today (Centennial) visiting my riding buddy of many years and we decided to drive over to Fay Myers on Arapahoe to see if they might have the new bike. As soon as we pulled in the parking lot I eyed a blue Tour DCT right in front of the entrance. As we got closer I saw that it had a permanent plate on it — demo plate.

They received 4 or 5 yesterday (can’t remember which) and decided to make the first one they put together a demo. I sat on it and they offered for me to take a ride, but I did not do so. Candidly, I should have but I was concerned that I would like it too much. Sitting on it I must say it seemed like a perfect fit. Easy off the side stand, and the handlebar reach felt perfect. I may go back up later and take it for a ride. Will have to check with Apex here in the Springs to see when they might have a demo.

Couple of the ones at Fay Myers are actually available but they will go fast. A non-tour silver was being delivered this afternoon to a guy with a 2017 Indian. He seemed really excited about his trade. They said they had a deposit on one of the others. No details on the two remaining as I did not ask.

As much as I thought the bike would be beautiful, it was even nicer than I expected. I really think this bike is going to be a home run for Honda and lots of us riders. My F6B is awesome, but perhaps a new 1800 in a year or two.
