Here in the land of OZ, we don't get the DCT versions until next year so I've been unable to test ride hence I seek your observation on the following matter.
I've watched (and listened to)a coupla Youtube videos and noticed that DCTs emit a "clunking" sound when put into "D", rather like a conventional transmission.
My previous automatic bike,Honda DN01 was perfectly quiet in the transmission department and I have read at least one road testers report referring to Clunking, Clicking and Jerking along with being difficult to ride slowly (unable to feather the clutch). So what do you owners think, how much of the above is true? I really like the concept of the DCT but I also like "Smooth" as in scooter CVTs.
