What I originally saw must have been a mis-print. It doesn't make any sense to add a gear without lowering the rpms.
The more correct info shows top gear at 60mph will be at about 2000 rpms, vs 2550. Yea!!!! BTW, this was calculated by someone. There is a graph in this link that clearly shows top gear is a whole step above our old top gear.

The DCT version will probably downshift instantly whenever you goose it. The manual version will of course need our input.
Here is a new to me link with some of this:

So, higher top gear, smaller bags, better gas mileage, more power, lighter bike, better looking seat, too many electronics - everything I could want. I'm thinking Tour model with trunk removal kit. Don't know about DCT vs manual.
