The NT has a stable mate! I picked up a 2015 CTX700N DCT ABS a few days ago, it's really a nice machine, but it's quite different than the NT in many ways. Although I haven't had much time to spend with it due to weather here's my initial impressions:
Pros: The long-stroke engine is very torquey, buttery smooth, and seems well matched to the bike's role. The DCT takes a bit getting used to with all the switches on the grips, but shifts are quick and seem to happen at the RPM's you expect them to based on throttle, and you can command up/down shifts with the paddles even in the auto modes. I've driven several cars with DCTs and wasn't impressed, but Honda's application of the DCT in this motorcycle is very nicely done. Grab a handful of throttle from a dead stop it gets up to highway speed no sweat as the DCT does it's thing. Way to go big Red! Riding position seems fine, a bit more upright than the NT (I'm 5' 11") and the seat is similar in comfort to the stock NT seat. The CG is very low, making for easy handling and maneuvering around the garage.
Cons: Forward pegs, but it may just be me not being familiar with them. Anyways, my wife will be the primary rider of the CTX, and she was fine with the pegs. I've got to familiarize myself with o-ring chain maintenance, perhaps someone here can give me some pointers on that subject. No center stand, and no place to put one. Do I need to get a rear wheel stand?
Overall, a very fine bike.
