I've been checking out the 2018 Goldwings. I'm thinking that the new DCT (Double-clutch transmission or "automatic") looks like something that might be something fun to drive. Do any trike manufacturers have a kit for it yet? I know some people will say an auto transmission takes away the real motorcycle feel but a lot of people say the same things about riding a trike. I like the idea of not having to listen to the engine or constantly looking at the tachometer to decide when to shift, but just being able to turn the throttle and spend more time enjoying the scenery appeals to me. I've driven one of the early Can-Am automatics and wasn't impressed but I'm sure Honda did a better job with theirs. They have a video where you can hear the engine and it sounds real smooth unlike the Can-Am I drove. Just wondering what other people's thoughts are on this. I like it but maybe I'm just getting too lazy to shift.
