My view about this is that if you can't master a manual transmission on a motorcycle, then maybe you shouldn't ride one.




Fair enough Dwight. As my wife loves to tell me, your view is noted. Its wrong, but duly noted. But i bet the same was said about cars when auto boxes first came on the scene.

But remember we live in a world where we use technology to makes our lives easier, faster, more enjoyable and maybe a little better. If an automatic m/c makes life easier or more enjoyable for some riders then who are we to scorn at the idea. How often do you use a microwave, i wonder what your cordonblue chefs thinks about those. If you cant cook it naturally maybe you shouldnt be allowed to eat???

I love manuals as much as the next man, and automatic boxes have come along way in recent years, particually in sportscars. You know my drean car is a Jaguar E Type. But if someone offers me a Automatic E Type I'll kick them in the nuts.

My point is that the motorcycle industry is missing out on a huge market by not offering automatic motorcycles.

Oh my, the thought. Automatic E Type....thats just not right.
