Oh... and another thing which is really ace.

On the BMW GSA Gear Shift Pro, on downshifts you have to have a zero throttle. It'll then auto blip .

On the Honda DCT (in addition to above) you can also maintain your throttle position and then flick into a lower gear seemlessly.

Shame the DCT doesn't auto blip.

That's so yesterday, so old fashioned

This DCT will just help me with the transition to FULL ELECTRIC bikes of the future...

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh

The constant drive of electric bikes doesn't do it for me, i like the aspect of the gears changing in the same way i hated auto's after driving my in-laws prius, you feel disconnected when the drive is constant, i bought a Dsg and it auto-blips up and down the box thro changes and makes you feel so part of he driving experience, so opted for the gearstick on the dct so i can still interact naturally as you do on a manual bike.

Be interested to know if anyone has stuck a rear brake lever where the clutch lever should be !

There is already a brake lever on it where the clutch lever is. It's used as a Parking Brake and has it's own rear wheel caliper.

I meant a rear brake lever as in the same as a scoot, i suppose the downside to that someone would go for the clutch lever ! now rear brake, fall off and blame honda .

Nice picture, hard to believe you could have brought 2 AT for the price of the GSA

Thanks.

The Africa Twin is a really nice bike, BUT next to the GSA it LOOKS half the bike.

The gearstick option is really good and glad I opted for this, downside ! Cannot fit lower engine bars as the gearstick is located in the mounts

so I'm going to buy GSG-moto engine case protectors and crash bungs . Full arrow titanium and lots of other shite I don't really need.

Anyone have any new OE panniers they want to sell !
