Finally someone at a publication had the guts to say it. I think a lot of motorcycle guys would be better off on scooters, but they are too worried about what others might say. When I was deciding to buy a bike, at first I really wanted a motorcycle, but after being honest with myself, I figured out all I really needed was a scooter. Almost all of my riding is commuting in stop n go city traffic, so ease of use was paramount. Shifting would suck.
I keep waiting to hear of some other motorcycles offering DCT or some other variant. I've been thinking of putting a deposit on a MV Agusta Tourismo Veloce. It appears to be a semi-auto that has clutchless shifting both up and down at any speed.
