I have hand and wrist issues as well (arthritis) and recently traded my Tracer for a DCT.

I recently had a discussion with a rider who owns a Goldwing with DCT and he absolutely loved everything about it.  I would love to take one out for a test ride.

I agree completely, my DCT after 6000 kms of wrist-pain-free riding.

Wrist issues are a real bitch soft tissue damage occult fractures dislocations

I feel for you

You can always get a up down speed shifter or better a rekluse clutch that'd be trick

I looked at the original and read about the new AT but it's really tall and you end up farkling the hell out of it too

What's your mileage in MPG?

A flash definitely is it desirable

I just turned over 33,000 miles and my mileage has gone up I guess the damn thing finally is worn in, I don't like the term broken in LOL

That works out to roughly 51 mp US gallon and 61 mp an IMP gallon.

 

Cheers

I’ve ridden several, it’s an experience. Slightly throat-ier exhaust sound, different front end, and an even lower CG, plus DCT   with drive modes, CarPlay, and a complete re-design. 

They’re amazing bikes. I’ll own one someday. My wife and daughter prefer riding on the back of a Wing over the FJ..

Dealer offered $4600, and he will list for $8000....sell private!

[Husqy]

Pretty normal sounding offer from a dealer... Even with cars they generally give you about 60-70% (tops) of what its worth privately. They have rent and employees to pay, so they need to make a buck of course.

The upside is 'hassle-free', but also that the $4600 lowers the purchase price of your AT, so you'd save about $600 in taxes (13% Ontario) on the trade in, meaning the real offer is actually about $5200.

Still, if you sell privately, you should easily get $7-8k for what you listed, but as someone who bought a used FJ09, let me tell you, I saw those bikes posted for a LONG time before selling. Most people don't even know this bike exists so its not on their radar.
