Riders are debating whether the Honda Rebel 1100 is better with or without a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). DCT makes for a very easy-to-use machine, especially in traffic, and could make a good alternative for new riders or people with mobility issues. However, some people say that manual transmissions offer more control, and it is more fun to ride with. The topic is often riding the learning curve for new riders, the connection feel with the bike, and long-term satisfaction. And yet, the decision of whether DCT is a fair transition for motorcycle riders has cost differences and maintenance considerations to consider, as well as the question of whether an individual's motorcycle experience is being taken away by the technology.
