Even BMW doesn’t have this yet
Great Wall Motors has intrigued us with its first motorcycle, the Soul: it looks like the iconic Honda Gold Wing and is powered by a flat-8 engine. But, as it turned out, there is another very interesting technical point: the Soul will not have a regular manual transmission, but an automated one.
Wei Jianjun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Great Wall Motors, commented on the new motorcycle and drew attention to the fact that the Soul will receive a DCT gearbox. This — «robot». DCT gearboxes have been used by Honda for a long time, but other motorcycle manufacturers practically do not have them. For example, BMW is just preparing a «robot» for their motorcycles with boxer engines. And here Great Wall has every chance to get ahead of such a giant of the motorcycle market as BMW.
