Wing wing wing and no, I did not just miss a shift, because it is DCT!  Pulled the plug on a 2018 Demo from Action Honda. Can’t pick it up with Mom’s situation and next weekend we have visitors from Sweden.  Brought the 98 Valk home to Palmghetto this morning.  Nice ride!  Still hot dang it!   Roll Eyes

Nice!   cooldude

After you get some miles on it, let us know how the low speed maneuvers are on it. I'm so used to throttle input and feathering the clutch in the friction zone that I'm curious how well it can be done with a DCT.

I have never to date named any of my bikes but guess what? That changed with this one, I named her Senja

Senja or Sážžá is an island and future municipality in Troms county, Norway. At 1,586.3-square-kilometre, it is the second largest island in Norway. It has a wild, mountainous outer side facing the Atlantic, and a mild and lush inner side.

Congrats. I’ve heard great things about it. I too would be interested in how it handles low speed maneuvering.
