Nice. I want them to start making the CB1100F concept they were showing.
I'd get one for sure.

I read recently that it's a go. I can't remember where, but I'll check the mags tomorrow (take 'em to work).

With an automatic tranny, you are completely at the mercy of what the tranny feels like doing. You can't upshift or downshift when you need it.
Sorry old boy, but i have to disagree with you on that.
I can sit in my car push on the right pedal and instantly get pinned in the seat as the car surges forward and the downshifts are in sync with roadspeed when i brake or slow down. I cannot think of a single moment when i have found my self in the wrong gear in my car, so why can this technology not be transfered to motorcycles.
As I ponder this.....one possible disadvantage I can think of to automatic tranny on a bike. Turns.. I know my local roads very well..there are several curves that I down shift
for as well as break cuase I know I'll be lugging through if I dont.What I would not want is the bike shifting for me as I accelerated through.Question would be how smooth the shifting on these critters is.
There won't be any shifting.
It's an infinitely variable transmission.
Dwight's concern about engine braking is legitimate. It may be that it will require more use of brakes. It comes with ABS, not sure if it's linked.
