I wish Honda would put the same transmission in the Pioneer 700-4 that's in the 1000 deluxe. I think more gears and a paddle shifter would benefit the 700-4. Oh yea, and raise the rev limiter by at least 5 mph.
Lets hope...
Honda has shown lots of confidence in the DCT. The Rincon drive line is going on 14 years old practically unchanged.
I expect a replacement soon just like the Hondamatic was replaced this past year.
