My fantasy is to have a pension.

I rode a NC700X dct and found it to be a low revving boring machine but maybe that was because it was a guided group Honda test ride.

l just moved up to a CTX700 dct and it can be boring or it can be wow! Using Drive mode, it is docile making it easy to transition from a PCX. You won't be surprised or in danger if you give too much throttle on take off. It then upshifts at low rpm's through the gears giving the impression of a lack of power. Definitely lugs some in all gears.

Switch to sports mode and it's like a different bike. Launches with authority and speed. Holds gear longer and it won't upshift until it hits a higher rpm. Loads of acceleration and immediate response.

Haven't tried manual yet, want to gain more experience before I try.

Transmission also down shifts automatically adding engine break as you slow down. Just like a manual transmission bike. Not too noticeable in D but awesome in S.

That's a painful way to look at things......then again, my weight gain spread over so many years doesn't seem so bad.
Thanks, Fish

Far from painful, its miles cheaper than renting one at £60 a day.

I think it was an attempt at humour. Lbs and £s.

For an old man whose fastest bike prior to the CTX was a PCX, yes, it's awesome!
