Over half of Goldwing sales are DCTs. Most NC750s were being sold with the DCT, so the manual was dropped, at least in Canada. IIRC ~40% of Africa Twins are sold with a DCT.
They work very well now, unlike the old Hondamatics, which were awful.
Edit. With everyone and their dog offering quick-shifters, even the manuals aren’t really that manual anymore.
I own a ‘22 GW DCT. Absolutely love it. Especially in stop and go traffic. Only complaint is sometimes the shift points aren’t perfect. As in not where I would like to shift, but if I set the drive mode correctly it will adjust damn near close. Tour, sport, eco, rain.
