Only issue with a Auto CVT transmission on our bikes is that it would probably be rather bulky to handle the weight of the touring bike.
Ridley makes a auto CVT bike, but it's not heavy at all. And the trans box isn't that bulky!
I think harley should make it an option!

Lord Almighty, part of the fun, challange, experience, thrill of riding is changing gears; being in charge so to speak. We all know that automatics are coming, they have to, in order to get more people involved in motorcycles, got to keep the sales up, you know. That may be a good thing, but for the time being give me six speeds, a clutch and a throttle.

I like being the one to decide when the shift should happen. Sometimes I like to do it low and sometimes I like to do it high and sometimes I just like to run it up and back off. That's for me, so I can hear my pipes talking to me. So, NO, I don't care for an automatic.

*****? What the heck do ***** have to do with putting your ride in the wind and enjoying yourself?? Two wheels, a good engine and the sheer thrill of being in the wind is all you need!
Have you forgotten we're all brothers and sister on two wheels and it's for the enjoyment?
