Poll a hundred people and you'll get a hundred answers. I'm sure Honda had data to pick the shift points and your preferences are on the edges of that curve.

....Did Honda ever offered NC DCT in Canada?
You may want to try out a newer model year with multiple sport modes. I'm not sure what year your bike is but the 2016 has three sport modes in addition to the normal drive mode. I've driven all three sport modes and I prefer S2 because S1 is not aggressive enough on the shift points gears 3-6 and S3 is too aggressive on gears 1-3 based on how I ride. I think this was Honda's answer to people complaining about the shift points in the first place.
I really hope that some one make a piece of electronic in the future that can move shifting points. I guess that the shift computer is getting signals from throttle, rpm and speed, by modifying these values it should be possible to change the shift points, just like the speedohealer do to the speedometer.
I have the 2016 version, and while I am not an experienced biker, I really like the way the DCT works in sport mode.
Although I haven't tried, my guess is that the shift computer will upshift automatically before you get to the rev limiter and also on manual downshifts, it won't accept a manual downshift command that put the engine in the redline.
Errrrm no. In manual mode you will bounce off the rev limiter which feels horrible and the gearbox will not change up itself
Mine is fine in crosswinds. Headwinds can slow it down and sometimes the auto box will change down into 5th if it makes the engine labour
I find riding into a strong headwind causes bad buffeting but that's because I like to ride at 70 and if there's a strong headwind it's just the same as riding at 90 in nil wind - uncomfortable on a bike that isn't fully faired

do you have the stock windshield on the 2016 NC750X ?
