Sorry. I realize 1/4 mile times and NC700X shouldn't even be used in the same sentence, but . . ."I think I would burn a manual NC700, too" needs a rebuttal.
Cycle World test of the NC700X manual showed 1/4 mile time of 13.86 seconds, and the DCT 14.34 seconds.
That was quite possibly two different riders on two different days at possibly two different tracks. So we'll just leave it as close enough to be a tie.

Gotta agree with Greg here. Especially coming off the line from a stop. I don't know where in the rpm range the DCT engages the clutch, but I'd be willing to bet its lower than the torque peak of the engine. Seems to me a semi competent rider dumping the clutch at the peak power rpm should be able to come off the line a bit faster.
Of course, the above is just my opinion and I've been wrong before. Besides, if I was still into that sort of thing I'd be riding a Speed Triple, FZI, ZX14, Hayabusa, etc.
