Honda continues to innovate in the mechanics of its existing models as we could see when it was made public that all Supersport models would have combined ABS, but now the issue is that they are going to put the first one on the market. DSG type gearbox applied to a motorcycle, "Next Generation" the Japanese call it. And what is the DSG? Well, in principle they are the initials of "Direct Shift Gearbox" but the explanation for humans is a gearbox with double clutch and electronically assisted. Used in F1 for a long time, we can currently find it in more or less high-end and sporty cars, because it allows acceleration without the step of manual gear change.
How is this achieved? then dividing the gearbox in two and applying a separate clutch to each of those halvesThus, when one stops transmitting force to the running gear, there is no real jump when going to the other gear. Explaining it like this may sound a bit complicated, but the system is relatively straightforward. What I can't see is the advantage of all this mechanism when motorcycles already had the GP-style gearbox that with a simple touch on the gear lever disconnects the engine ignition for an instant and allows the next one to engage. march, all this in milliseconds.
If we add to all this that the mechanism must be assisted by servomotors that select the gears and actuate the clutches, we have a more complicated motor than usual and surely heavier than a conventional one. But Honda goes its own way which in many cases is the path that all other manufacturers end up following.
