    Sir great review i test rode one last week - love the look. Super hard to get my left foot under the gear lever. Also the vibration through the pegs was horrible. I rode if for about 2 miles and returned it. For context i have a GS w a Quick shifter and no way back after that. I like it so much i can see the DCT in my future

    I'm riding a 2020 AT DCT and I love it. With a higher custom seat it fits perfectly my 6"5'. About DCT, I would like to encourage everybody to give it a try, at least 1 to 2 hours to get accustomed. DCT is a blast, believe me. But, be adviced there is one big problem with it: if and when you are used to DCT you won't want to change back to a manual transmission ever. I would love to get a new bike with a bit more torque (not that I really need it, it's just my wish to want more power) but no way without an automatic transmission.
    One last thing re.the AT: what a sound, as a former Ducati fan (still owning an ST2) I happily give kudos to this engine sound, gorgeous and always putting a smile on my face.

    Great review thanks. Just subscribed. Was going to look at one of these tomorrow but then you mentioned no hill hold. It is invaluable when two up as you said. A real omission. Currently on GSA and was already thinking that the power differential would be too much in the GSA favour. Im not sure if the new torque figures and lighter bike would make it more equal two up. It makes me think they are working on a new model (25/26?) as they are playing catch up with the other manufacturers on adaptive cruise/hill hold/blind spot etc. Not that they are all necessary but they are all available. Great review of the bike thanks

      To be fair the CRF1100L is the overland off road version...I doubt very much this model will ever get the tech you mention....the Adventure sports model will be more in line........The KTM super Adv might be more what you are looking for....thanks for watching

      @@theloftybiker3090 cheers for the reply. Most likely looking at the Adventure Sport model. Dealer in Plymouth doesnt have one (order only apparently) so may need to give Damerells a call. Would the handbrake lever on the DCT be used as a sort of hill hold. Does it disengage automatically? Cheers

    Engine 'keeps' going when you throttle off because of the engine braking intervention. Especially when set high the engine will have a sense of free wheeling.
