Starting a new journey with a brand-new machine is always incredibly exciting. https://motorcyclelifeboo.com/en/honda-x-adv-first-impressions-why-its-the-ultimate-adventure-machine/ But then... the unthinkable happened. I picked up the bike from the dealership, and on my way home, still riding high on the excitement, I was thinking: "Wow, so this is what the DCT feels like!
