Heres a link for the automatic transmission if your
intrested in getting one.

To me it is a dumb idea, but someone might want one?

 

ewww!

But then I guess if I could ever get my wife to ride one herself, she'd like to start on something automatic.

 

Ridley Motorcycle has been building automatic transmission bikes for awhile.

Neat idea. I can see a limited use for it. I know a few guys with artificial legs who would still ride if the didn't have to shift. Arthitis and such can make clutching difficult for some folks.

I was readin an article this week about a new clutch design. I forget what it's called. But you don't need to feather the clutch at low speeds, or even use the clutch for shifting. Dirt bike riders love it. Now available for BT's. Cool idea. But I thought $1600 was a bit much for a clutch.

 

NO THANKS, I guess if you need that because of a problem, OK, but I enjoy the shifting etc.

 

If that's the same one I just read about in a mag a couple weeks ago, it takes away around 30% HP of the motor and 20% fuel mileage. Oh........ the price........ some like 12-15k installed on your bike! [sm=yikesomg.gif]

 

Sorry......but that belongs in the GOLDWING forum......[8D]

 

I seen it in Iron Works magazine.

 

Kinda takes the fun away from the ride [sm=confused06.gif]

 

30% drop..........ridiculous!!!

and i'm gonna have to take a big 'ol **** on that rear fender and blinker set ups.
