Well, tens of thousands of miles and I can tell you it is the best thing that ever happened to touring & cruising motorcycles. Not that you can get it on the CTX, but there is a fourth gen of the DCT that is rider programmable, in addition to the already existing modes of D S1,2,3. I believe it is on the new Rebel 1100 and is certainly on the NC750X European iteration (likely for the USA later this year). I have no problems at all with the DCT in corners but other report that they would shift differently than the learned program. However, it can be overridden instantaneously with your left index finger or thumb...faster than you could ever shift a manual tranny. I have this 500 mile route that I ride from here to Gainesville and back on my VFR1200X DCT. The DCT makes the ride so much more enjoyable and, believe it or not, I am less fatigued. I can tell you this, the CTX is the easiest bike in the world to ride. Seat sucks but she added a Corbin. I think the suspension needs to be addressed, she disagrees, but I am 100 pounds heavier than her. Very tame and controllable machine that has been literally problem free...not one issue. However, I am a maintenance freak. Anyhow, as you can see, I can go on and on (and I haven't even finished my coffee). I am happy to help if you should have any questions. I understand this machine from top to bottom and can give you an unbiased opinion on it. Love to be able to return the graciousness that you all have shown my wife and me in our research of the CanAm.
