It's a motorcycle. The clutch is not a prerequisite for being a motorcycle.
Actual definition
"mo·tor·cy·cle
ˈmōdərˌsīk(ə)l/Submit
noun
a two-wheeled vehicle that is powered by a motor and has no pedals."
Anyone who claims its not a motorcycle, is just a child. Move on, and don't act impressed. I have a 1200 africa dct, and I beat every "real" motorcycle I race. guess what? Who laughs then? well that's me. I drive by them and say "nice scooter!!! hhaaaaaaaahahahaa"
But only if they insult my bike first. I will smoke you even in auto mode anyday kids :)
hahaha i'm on manual nc700x, and don't have any comment on dtc model because I didn't try it, but I would love to try it before give any feedback or tought on that. For now, what I read EVERYBODY who try DTC say it will blow your mind, its perfect.
Btw nice comment, and bike, when get time to change bike my first chose is Africa, with or w/o dtc.
finally, a sensible person haha
That's what I was saying also. Automatics are still motorcycles just without the clutch and shifters.
To all you slagging of the DCT let me ask you this, how many of you drive manual (stick-shift) cars? Because automatic cars aren't real cars, are they? The DCT is aimed at a specific market, commuter's, but it is also a god send for other people, people who for whatever reason have difficulty using a clutch. I'm 47 and have been riding bikes for years but have always struggled due to a disability with my left hand but now biking is great thanks to the DCT.
You're right, that bike is sweet and pure joy...
Chunkymonkey--I absolutely agree! I have arthritis in my hands and left ankle. Shifting is not an option for me. I bought a 2018 Honda CTX700 dct motorcycle and I love it! I think people should just shut up and let people ride their own ride without all the b.s. and criticism.
Great bike for carrying a passenger
I'm getting ready to buy one from a co-worker. First timer that would prefer to focus on mastering riding and traffic. I've had 5 manual cars, so the hardcore purists can piss off lol.
Ort I agree I have a 2016 Honda ctx 700 DCT
Well no one will teach me how to ride a manual so that DCT is the one for a beginner.
Awww man I was hoping you were gonna talk about the "glove box"
The gas tank for this is actually under the riders ass. Where the gas tank normally is is a gigantic storage box that can fit an entire helmet.
Bahaha Feminism! I turn autoplay off because feminism.
Yeah, I turned autoplay off a while ago and now I realise why. :)
I get what you mean by the statement, but the actual definition of feminism is NOT what you said.
noun
1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. (sometimes initial capital letter) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
So many stop signs...
There isn't anything wrong with automatic bikes. It's all about preference.
Exactly. As most people prefer automatic cars to manual ones.
It is even safer and more practical for motorcycle to be automatic as it is the case with cars.
If your gay just say that
@@TrueKappaa loll
I can't wait to buy one of these. DCT bikes are incredible. No clutch, no shifter, no stalling out, it's safer and you can enjoy the ride more.
TJAnon15 it’s perfect for drive-by shootings
@@vincealtez lol wtf?
@@Heartstarts2pound I mean he's not wrong, maybe you can lend him your sniper rifle from the profile picture lol
I mean if you stall often you have no reason to be on the road
I have my normal manual motorcycle and have a 400cc scooter for the ' easy ride around town'
For someone who can't shift a motorcycle anymore after 50 years of riding this will extend my riding time for a little longer.
Prob shouldn't ride anymore then
I might suggest a little research on a bike before riding it..
There is a manual/automatic mode switch. Right index finger. Like a flash to pass button. That will hold any gear and bibg off the limiter if you want..
It will shift back to 1 when you stop.
Also.. if you hold S mode button there are 3 levels of sport.. shifting more aggressively as you go up.
Best way to launch one of these is just roll on the throttle.
Also.. they make an X model for dual sport adventure riding. You can definitely off road one of these with decent tires.. low center of gravity.
Also.. 70+MPG on the highway.
Pretty nice overall package..
Wish it looked a bit sexier..
It is nice that it's a 270 degree parallel twin. It actually sounds decent compared to most twins..
I think the CB 500 is also.
Also wish they offered the DCT in the CB 500.
CB500X DCT, love the thought of that. I have NC750X DCT and enjoy it, but the CB500X is a secret weapon and underrated, could be my next bike, especially if they put a DCT box on it.
There’s nothing like listening to someone explain the DCT who hasn’t a clue as to how it functions nor how to get the best from it. It lends so much authority to the review….and yes, I’m being sarcastic.
The smartest guy to ever ride a motorcycle, clearly. Within two seconds of getting on the bike . . . "can I wheelie it?"
No need to hate on it. I drive a manual car and a bike, but I wouldn’t mind having either in automatic. There’s a time and place when I wouldn’t mind the car doing the shifting for me, and if it gets more people on two wheels, why not?
I am a retired UK truck driver, had autos in my Volvo semi for the last 5 years before I retired. Car is auto as is my bike. Stick your gear changes, most riders/drivers dont know how to use gears properly anyway, its just a macho thing.
Im 55 , female just learning. Not everyone wants to pop wheelies and drive fast. I have disabilities due to Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands and feet, I think this would be a perfect bike. I just wanna ride !!!! No ego, no status quo, just have fun ....i've gone from an Ebike, to a scooter, now im ready....lol
Clutchless freedom
I want one. I gave up manual transmission cars in the eighties. I think it is a great idea for people that want an auto trans.
Probably great motorcycle for beginners. My first car was with manual stick shift, but great drivers are not defined by transmission type.
I applaud this level of thinking. I'm drawn to this bike mainly due to it's auto trans, but also the reliability of a Honda, its styling, etc. It would be my first ever bike, and I believe id simply feel more comfortable starting with something like this.
Good driving comes from experience, not whether it has another lever or stick.
In addition, something like 9/10 people don't know how to use manual cars in the States. My generation doesn't have the experience with it, and automakers don't have a problem phasing it out.
@@jakebrake8419 I agree. I'm thinking this will be my first bike just to get used to the road and after a while can always go to a Ninja 400 or something to learn to shift after a few years on the road being comfortable on a bike.
Technology is changing day by day.. Its a good concept..achieving speed.. Also safer ride
I ride in LA. And shifting is exhausting. By the time I’ve gotten out to the Mountains or coast, I’ve had to stop and shift ten thousand times. It sucks. I got a Aprila Mana, and I love it.
I'm never really been one to want a motorcycle...mostly because of the way they have to be shifted, so if I did get one, I'd look at this bike. It may not be "manly", but I'm okay with that.
Well if we look at F1 motor racing cars you see an automatic beast. They use paddle shifters and essentially the car is auto because the shifting is faster. You could wheelie this bike if you use the manual option. Personally I like shifting gears myself but sometimes it gets tiresome. An auto or semi auto bike makes a lot of sense to me.
this is good beginners bike...i have absolutely ZERO experience on a motorcycle..so yeah, not every one wants to do wheelies. I need something that won't try to kill me for every mistake lol
+terry lafauci I don't think an automatic is a good beginner bike unless you never plan on riding another bike. It's more of a scooter because you don't clutch and shift
Srkcycles I drive semi trucks for a living and most of the semis are switching to automatic transmissions. Does that mean they are no longer semis, because all previous semis were manual? Nope, just like the NC700x is still a motorcycle.
@@Srkcycles Some scooters have clutch so that makes it a motorcycle with very low cc's? Ha LoL. It's an motorcycle not a scooter. If you don't like the bike that's OK but don't tell the world it's not what it really is.
Sounds like having ur cake & eating it too....most who review it seem to want to leave it in S mode & use D for saving gas.
Manuals are going to die. Automatics are the future, they get better and better every year. When I was a kid we had a 4 wheeler and a mini bike, I would always choose the mini bike cause I hated shifting. Manuals in city driving and in traffic are a pain in the ass. I had manual cars most of my life, I'll never go back.
I don't think manual is ever gonna die there is still a big market for it, it just the market for autos are gonna grow a lot more than manuals, am take motorcycle wise because it already happened for cars but there is still manufacturers making manuals
@fohz0710 Automatic bikes are a quickly growing segment in the bike world. 5 years ago, when I made this comment, there were a lot less automatic bikes than there are today, most scooters are already auto, every electric car is automatic, nearly all super cars are automatic, quad bikes are mostly automatic outside some performance models, side by sides are automatic. It grows more and more each year. Manual will never die because of vintage car culture, but it's on life aupport.
You can do wheelies from a stop. Shift to Neutral, rev it up, and immediately switch to sport. It’ll go up real good
Neutral drop a motorcycle😂
I watched this because of interest in the bike... kept watching because I saw that you were riding in manheim, pa which is where I'm from lol
I have owned 56 bikes of all types and I love the Honda DCT bikes. They are great as an only bike or a fantastic addition to your stable.
It’s a motorcycle but the review doesn’t do it justice. Not knowing how to use the D and S won’t give you an accurate review. “Scooters” don’t do 110 on a freeway.
Many people look at this as a beginner's bike, but if you look at the whole package of transmission (with three modes), engine configuration and tuning (low center of gravity coupled with wide torque spread and low redline), you end up with something that makes a lot of sense for some experienced and/or returning riders with physical limitations.
These are full size bikes which can easily be balanced with one foot down, lessen joint and muscle pain by removing the need to shift manually, a boon for people with neuropathy caused either by injury or disease. They are extremely economical and practical with the storage placed where the tank is expected to be. Really, this and the CTX with DCT are not simply allowing some folks to continue riding, they are test beds for larger touring models.
I think you're doing yourself a bit of a disservice by not researching models you review, it detracts from the review's usefulness.
Well said.
I’m getting one. Suffered nerve damage in my left hand from a childhood injury. Lost about 20% of my strength so using a manual bike is out. I can finally get the chance to ride something other than a moped.
My left ankle has no flex so this is perfect. Selling two manual bikes and I’m gonna get a CTX700nd
Sometimes i think i might want to try an automatic shift bike.
But i have been riding shift bikes so long, i don't think i need to.
For a new rider they would be great, but then they would have to get used to a shift bike if they ever wanted one of those.
But would be a great bike for people who just are not good at shifting.
They are making bikes so easy, even a cave man can ride one ;)
thats offensive to cave men sir. i will not allow that on my channel. lol just kidding you are absolutely right
@@Srkcycles I own a manual NC700X. It's not the best at any one thing out there, but it isn't bad at anything either. As far as the total package, I don't think you can beat it. I test rode a ctx700 DCT the other day. It's basically the cruiser version of the NC. It was phenomenal. Everybody says that they want more people riding motorcycles. Honda will give you that with the DCT, but all of a sudden the excuses come out. "It's not a real motorcycle" "It's great...if you're a girl" "Real riders know how to use a clutch" I could go on. The DCT movement will put more people on two wheels. That's good for everyone. More riders=more people looking out for riders. More riders=more sales. Harley ran into similar criticism with the Street series. I can't drop $27K on a new Ultra, but I could find $7K for a Street. Any attempt to recruit new riders, even cavemen, gets pooed on by the same people who claim that they want more folks riding. Oh well, it's no skin off my back. If I cared what people thought of what I rode, I'd be on a Street Glide or a Gixxer like everyone else. Anyway, I love the channel. Keep the videos and the words of wisdom coming. I know from watching your inventory that you've moved more than on NC. Maybe there's something to this little bike after all.
Based off your ride video, the bike doesn't seem all that slow. How fast do you need it to be on a public road??
Your left hand kept searching for the clutch lever. 1:15
8:35 Looks plenty fast for my needs.
Having had one surgery on my left shoulder, and surgery on my left elbow and wrist in 2 weeks, this is an attractive transmission option. Is it what I want? Not exactly. Is it better than giving up riding? ABSOLUTELY!
I got this bike because of my arthritis, before being in traffic would kill me, now not so much bash on it if you want but it's a great bike
This is about the best communter motorcycle there is in heavy city traffic, especially in Europe with those cramped crowded streets, you are very fast and very maneuverable, and such a NC is terribly economical, in the Netherlands you just pay 5 to 6 times more for a liter of gasoline than in the US. € 1.56 per liter that's a 1/4 of a gallon ...
this is a great bike for who cant ride anymore due to health problems due to neuropathy problems that love to ride I for one have that and would love to get one so I could be on the road again
I love that they came out with a auto bike I clutch all day long in my work truck .
It's perfect for you, probably can't even start a lawn mower.
Interestingly, the DCT is faster than manual. I have the manual and its an awesome bike. I'd only ever change it for a DCT model. It's not a scooter...don't perpetuate that insult on a great bike.
Why do you call automatics scooters? When they're clearly motorcycle!
Laugh in vultus and xadv
From 2005 ABS is legally required on Euro on Japanese bikes 😅 In Europe at least
Well, i actually have a Can am Spyder F3T SE6, and a NC 700S dct. And that's because i want to relax, not work, i want to be me who's enjoying the bike, not bike enjoying me, with a manual vehicle i just feel i'm being used. For example as cars in my family, my wife's driving a 2015 M135i xdrive and a have an FK2. Althought on a Civic Type R FK2 you can find one of the best stick shifts ever (in my humble opinion), when i'm driving my wife's car is like a dream, i consider the famous ZF 8HP, being one of the best gearboxes ever built. Before buying this car, all of l my friends said i was gonna hate it being the first automatic (in Europe we have mostly stick shifts), but man, whoever drives an automatic on this continent, doesn't want manual anymore. The only regret on my bike is that it doesn't have cruise control.
I've just seen this bike for sale here in Finland, and you know what, for people may have slight disabilities in their hand or left leg like myself but who wants to ride a motorcycle but has physical limitations this could be very useful.
Perfect motorcycle for riding the the city. Never have to constantly up and down shift. It's why it's hard to find a shift vehicle to buy. Nobody wants to shift in the city. If you want to wheelie a motorcycle, don't get on this motorcycle. It's designed not to wheelie. If they used this bike in motorcycle rider training courses, the road test would be a breeze.
Why are you worried about doing wheelies? That's reckless and dangerous and irresponsible. Take a minute and slow down and enjoy the scenery
I’m open to the idea of a auto but not sure I would like it. Like with my fun car Miata NC I only wanted a manual. Likely the same for motorcycles.
A five minute briefing before you started would have improved this video a lot.
This automatic motorcycle have a lot of reviews and it turned out to be no more than a teaser it is very affordable and it is the perfect gift for a beginning motorcycle rider. And they say they can ship anywhere in the world if I read that right , and when you call them and you name any state that starts with the letter C and they will burst your bubble when they can't deliver or accommodate you or they are out of stock. Why do you not restock something that sales real well? So if you cannot deliver everywhere to whom it may concern you need to ditch the video ad because it is worthless.
The engine layout probably prevents wheelies, it's not that kind of bike, it's for grown ups.
It shifts by itself?! Really😂?
Don’t bikers know, cars have been doing that for a century??? 😂😂😂
About time.
When your having sex Does it really matter the A to Z steps it took to get a good ride? Or is the ride to ecstasy the real purpose of it all. Enjoy the Glide enjoy the ride enjoy. Twister throttle and let her take you there.
if you extend your right hand index digit, there is a switch from automatic to manual transmission using the left hand tectronics (aka willie button). Automatic bike = automatic car. Technology catches up, or else you'll still be watching this youtube channel on your BetaMax or VHS.
Nice bike !
No mention of the frunk? That’s a very useful feature on this bike.
It has a button for manual mode aswell
"This bike is what's wrong with feminism" classic 🥰🥰
I love this bike
That thing is freaking great
I ride one because my left ankle got smashed in a car accident. DCT is now available on the Africa twin and the Goldwing I think.
Yes it is!!
Can a 5’4 person ride this motorcycle?
bought myself a ctx700nd...nice to have a cruiser to just enjoy the ride on compared to my zx6r
I think that most people who complain about the nc700xDCT just don't understand the bike. It's not a squid bike. If someone buys the wrong bike don't blame the bike.
250 or 300 cc scooter / never ride and look at ur phone
this is the future like cars automatic baby
I don't mind automatic... but I do mind ugly.
I hate it 😂
How do you get a bike license if start with an automatic? Would they provide a bike for the training course?
Yes, they provide an automatic bike for you, if that is what you choose to ride.
It’s a touring bike it ain’t a crotch rocket of course it can’t wheelie.
Wgaf about a wheelie?
D=Driving mode
S= Sport mode
need that pipe
This is the perfect beginners bike
Great analogy on Feminism Sean.
haha thanks bro
You sure you want Honda to give them a wheelie button on top of the automatic? All they have to do is press a button and pull mile-long wheelie down the interstate.
You said exactly what I was thinking the whole time, it's like the SuperSport class of scooters!
Andrew T A scooter is a motorcycle
Who in the hell ditched the stock exhaust? It was the best sounded stock pipe Ive ever heard.
Very neat bike!
Why didn’t you try the manual !!?!
If fact ... why haven’t you reviewed the NC750X?!?!?!
Disappointed ☹️
We want one of these ASAP
Cash in hand
In South Texas
No idea how to ride it, I'm going to learn right now 🙌🏍
What a goof
S is for sport. D just drive
S mode Sequential d automatic
Laughed that you actually admitted it was kind of fun to ride. At least you weren't afraid to admit it! Curious to know how much you'd like it after several months of riding on one.
Sell it to me.. I'll take it
I absolutely do not think this is a beginner's bike. Sooner or later they may want to change over to manual gears shifting - they'd have a far harder time making the switch, than learning to ride a bike the right way. This bike, aside from useful for people with a degree of disability, is simply very useful for city riding and commuting, also taking into consideration the awesome space for groceries !
so pretty much when u stop the bike it's on park or what?
not hitting the brakes I mean
i forget
And d means drive mode
S means sport mode
Even the manual can barely pull the tire. Low rpm redline means you can't be moving very fast when you dump the clutch. Wont hold it up either
I thought 'D' for Drive and 'S' for Sport is obvious?
What, no scripture quote ...? So no clutch no scriptures......?
Words of Wisdom - Understand the features and benefits of a motorcycle before making a video introducing it to potential customers.
Just getting on a motorcycle without knowing anything about it makes you look ignorant and foolish. Making fun of DCT and feminism is stupid, too. Such a shame to be unable to present features and benefits of a great motorcycle. The additional storage features, which you don’t even mention, make it a great bike for daily utilitarian use. Leave the car at home and have great transportation at a fraction of the cost of a car. It’s not meant for wheelies and 100 mph. If one obeys traffic laws it is great. In Europe where people value education and recognize true value in features, at least 50% of models available with a DCT are sold with it instead of the manual one.
Do you need a full motorbike license for these I mean looks pretty dam simple
It won't let you weelie it unless you disable traction control i guess
Whats the price of this bike
I'm sure it's fine, just not for me.....
Is this available in sri lanka ?
F manual
Looks fun
What is the top speed?
round aobut 200kph
I had the manual version. I bought it new in 2012. Loved it but it was lacking power. If it made about 80hp it would have been last bike. Loved everything else about it.
