Not a VFR but I had an 2017 Honda Africa Twin with a DCT In fact the DCT was the main attraction for purchasing the Africa Twin. The bike had 3 modes (Auto sport1 and sport 2) plus a manual mode where you shifted with two buttons Auto was a waste because it shifted way too soon so I most always used sport2 mode I live in Western NC and the twisty roads start at the end of my driveway. So I always used manual mode when I wanted to be aggressive in the twisties. It worked very well. If you were in a turn and needed more revs just a touch of the button made a seamless shift. I was very impressed with the DCT. The only disadvantage was that it added quite a bit of weight. When it was time to sell the bike I found that having the DCT was a disadvantage as prospective buyers didn't want a DCT. I'd love to have a DCT in my current TracerGT but not if it added weight to the bike.

Hey I was at the FlyBy Week also, Got in Thursday and rode home Sunday. Saw your bike in the parking lot but didn't get to talk to you. My bike is a 2019 GT. We rode mostly in Ohio because we ride through WV on the way up and going home to Asheville. Also will ride lots of WV at the Fall Colors ride end of September. Maybe I'll see you there.

Make sure you have the setting for Off-Route Recalculation set to OFF

Lot's of good riding in that area. If you use a GPS and would like some tracks for the area PM me.

Here's the Road5's with 4,934 miles on them

Tires are getting very expensive lately I got 3,940 miles on the OEM Dunlop's on my 2019 Tracer GT Replaced them with a set of Michelin Road5 tires that surprisingly lasted 4,934 miles although they were totally gone causing a little pucker factor on the last 100 miles. Replaced them with a set of Michelin Road6 and don't have enough miles on them for a good evaluation I live in the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina and I'm lucky to get 3,000 miles on a set of tires so the Michelin's have been a good choice so far. They provide excellent traction in both wet and dry conditions. Anyone else have information on Michelin Road6,s ?

Looks like a Road 6 tire on your bike? How do you like them? I just bought a pair to replace my worn out Road 5's and was quite surprised with the wide sipes on the tires. Also see an MSTA sticker on your swing arm. I've been a member since 1991.

I purchased the 2PP-F84G0-V0-00 mounts in February 2020 and they work great. I now see that they have been discontinued. I think you may be able to get them from Japan.
