Tech gimmicks always had an appeal and when Honda released a VFR with a dual clutch transmission (DCT) I was on the hunt again. Even though I didn’t need the 170+ horsepower or the 1200cc displacement, I wanted this toy.

It was again a white from the first series with around 18,000 km. At the beginning, the missing clutch lever took some getting used to, but over time I wouldn’t want to be without the DCT anymore. Many wonderful kilometers later (and counting) I was standing on an old Italian military road and I thought it would be great with a lighter and slightly more off-road oriented vehicle.
