    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 .

    First gear on my 2013 Black, I'm bouncing off the rev limiter before I can get my foot on the peg. That wheelie messes me up every time.
    Second gear pulls as hard as first!
    I just cant do multi tasking under those conditions.
    The DCT will have to make up some ground against a whole shot like that.
    I suppose if I practice enough I could get it right. But I want to enjoy it for the rest of my riding days.
    But,, I would love to have the DTC if I had a choice.
    I'd be ridin smooth and sittin perty.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    King of the Baggers Race, July 2020. Who is ready to represent?

    https://www.rideapart.com/articles/3...baggers-track/

    From the comments:

    “Reminds of a 1/8 mile drag race I attended where a guy entered on a bagger. Not any bagger but a Boss Hoss. He went through the finish doing big tank slappers and lost it. The bike hit the ground and both saddlebags exploded spilling clothes, tools and at least a six pack of beer. He was fine and more importantly so was the beer”

    I took a DCT out for a bit when my F6B was in for a service. I know I can win a race with myself on the DCT any day! But that's not why I own the bike. If I want to race, I'll take the Duc out for a rip. Hands down... Now, the new Rocket III, might be worth a look and trade up that Italian Stallion.

    I have yet to ride a dct but just watching a you tube clip titled 2019 glowing DCT sound (Raw on Board) has me convinced. I have read that it shifts according to how you are riding. I think this video shows that. I didn't see him shifting manually so I think thats true. Me being an old man, riding like that is in the past. Check it out, I have watched it a few times.
