Enjoy :) you will have to do a review of what you think. A bike that thinks for its self hmm

[L3nny]

I took one fr a test ride I thought it was great, especially like the automatic blip of the throttle on the down changes :)

Enjoy.

I cannot imagine riding an automatic bike.

I cannot imagine riding an automatic bike.

You can ride in semi auto mode too, + and - on the bars for gear changes, no clutch, I bet it's very pillion friendly :)

One of our horse boxes works like that, after I get my LGV I will be able to try driving it, same problem though I cannot imagine an automatic lorry either.

Many of the newer road trains (130-170 tonnes in triple or quadAB trailer configurations) in this part of the world have sophisticated automatic transmissions. It is a major reduction in workload.

I got a semi auto diesel car too....... 6 speed tiptronic colt 1.5 3 cyl turbo

Most of the lorries I drive are autos too.

And yes is very pillion friendly, one of the main reasons I bought it. (plus I am a really lazy tw@)

I rode an Aprilia Mana 850 which was an interesting experience but you get used to the auto gearbox fairly quickly and I found it pretty cool.

I can't imagine riding a bike like this, heard of it of course, guess it's a defo try befor you buy. ps I think they are pig ugly anyhow, so not for me ;0)

Was quite entertaining when I took it out on test - like a very fast twist and go, but it had an annoying habit of changing gear mid-bend in constant throttle corners in standard D (sport was better).

looks a good mile muncher but the bars look a bit low. looks like something bmw would produce.

have fun and stay safe.
