Waiting to see how it performs, altho I'm not expecting greatness from the first effort. My first EV bike will ideally be a commuter spec with at least 100 mile range in all conditions/60mph min top speed.
Actually, am waiting for Yamaha to HTFU and make a T9 (Tenere with the 900Triple)..

Did you get max style points??
LOL sadly no, although both me and my bike survived unscathed!
When I was on my first trip to Wales back in 2019, I crossed a small ford which was maybe 30 or 40cm deep. I thought I was going slowly, but loads of water splashed up and soaked me, so I guess I was going a little too fast
Good to see you're seeking out green lanes and fords and using your GS properly Tim

Can you get motorbikes with DSG gearboxes now? Just saw/heard one that sounded like a VAG style DSG.

Oh god, was it doing the blaring trumpet noise on each change?

Honda have DCT on a couple of their machines, have done for a few years. They've just brought out an e-clutch too, some kind of recluse type thing.

Most modern bikes have quick shifters too, which might be what Alex heard? You kick the gears up without clutch and it cuts ignition briefly, then if you go down the box it auto-blips to help match speeds again.
