Rode a Honda NC700!

Yup, the tranny is their second generation unit. The first was on a 1200cc bike. They are electronically controlled dual clutch manual tranny set-ups that are pretty slick.
I've driven a couple cages with this type of tranny and the shifts are a work of art. Oddly enough both cages were Fords which have been ranted about by dissatisfied drivers due to ongoing problems with some units.
So here is my hope. Honda brings the CB500X to North America with the dual clutch and ABS. Sweet bike. Honda will capture an ignored market segment of new and less aggressive riders who just wannt to be in the wind on 2 wheels. A new user friendly and economical way to ride. Are you listening Honda?????????????
