    The DCT is more powerful than F6B especially when you choose the sport mode

    Where are you getting your facts from? If the DCT is anything like Honda’s other DCTs , none of them outperform their manual counterparts. The new GW is rated at 125 hp compared to 118 hp of the F6B and there is only a 35 lb difference wet with same amount of fuel 800 to 842-7 lbs. The new GW also has more hp loss due to heavier rear wheel. Have you got any magazine specs of acceleration times or dyno numbers?

    I own 14 F6B , 16 Goldwing and 18 DCT at the same time and that is what I felt.

    Rightnow in my garage are 16 goldwing, 18 DCT and 18 Indian Chieftain Limited.

    Nice. What is your thought on the Indian regarding reliability, acceleration and handling compared to the F6B.

    I sold the F6B to a friend after 4years ...I miss the smooth and quiet powerful of the F6B.
    The DCT is good for work...when you live in big city like Toronto...rush hour traffic is like NY and LA. I use it because parking is free for motocycle in downtown.
    The Indian is for noise and attitude... this is my first time and year with the Indian. So far so good.

    Did you not see the published quarter mile times for the two bikes? It's a one second difference. How do you plan on overcoming that?? It's ok to dream but the reality is it's wrong .
