F6B VS New Golding DCT in a race

[soupbean]

Ultimate horsepower and torque figures can be so deceiving as a performance perspective.
There are so many variables involved as far as performance and felt horsepower and torque.
Transmission; Gearing itself, gear spacing, overall efficiency, number of gears.
Engine ; Peak horsepower and torque, maintained horsepower and torque, ramp up and drop off of horsepower and
torque values in relation to each other.
Bike design ; Mass, weight, shape and general design.

Other factors involved also. Having experience with Honda’s DCT motorcycle transmission, I’m going to go out on a limb..
No, I’m going to guarantee with the title to my F6B that if you put a new Goldwing with the DCT up against a F6B, the new Wing would completely obliterate the guy on the “B” all the way to the 112 mph limiter...

Who has ever said, "let's race until my rev limiter comes on"? I'm not disagreeing with your point, but I stopped going to NHRA events when they did away with the quarter mile. Some things just need to not be messed with...

I agree with you that the new Wing will accelerate faster. And it was dumb for Honda to put the rev limiter so low. I just mentioned that the weight difference was not so much. I also didn't buy the F6 to race. It still beats most Harleys. I got a Yamaha fz-09, if I feel like going faster.

I agree with you about going faster..Lots of other bikes will out accelerate the F6B, but for overall comfort and what I ride it for, it is hard to beat....And as said, as long as I have fun smoking HD'S..I'm good to go!!...Regards

That is fun!

I have a 2013 F6b and a 2018 DCT Airbag,nobody can change gears as fast or as smooth as the DCT.

Several sources quote 0 - 60 times for the F6B as quicker than the DCT Tour. I would bet the F6B launches harder. Haven't seen a direct comparison to the 6 speed manual Tour, which intuitively should be quicker than both.
