Who wants to juggle gears all day?... Riding a scooter is the cool thing to do...
in your 80's.
Even then, I'd rather ride a Harley (Not that there is anything wrong with that) than be seen on a scooter.

Yeah, "juggling" gears is what's holding motorcycling back in the Dark Ages.
I wave to everybody. Just not you.

Biased. You're only saying that because you want one. lol... I read your 'riding a scooter in the winter' thread.

Sure - 60,000 posts worldwide on myriad sites mostly science and technical based and hundreds of trolls dispensed with and I don't like confrontation.
Stay on topic - I'm just needling Baggsy for what he clearly doesn't know anything about.
The future is moving towards sport auto and CVT whether the horse and buggy brigade likes it or not. Just as it has with the high end sports cars.
43 years riding I could give rats *** about grasshoppers.....and their ill informed opinions.
Carry on.....

I really hope its not moving towards automatic shifting. Even in a car I prefer driving stick, I feel much more in control of the vehicle then I do with an automatic. I sold my Acura 1.6 EL last year and bought a honda accord v6 gas guzzling machine which has soooo much more power then the acura, but its automatic. I regret selling the Acura, it was more fun and I felt it had better performance purely based on controlling the gear changes. I would not buy an automatic motorcycle, not because I am against it, but because I prefer the control of shifting.Sure - 60,000 posts worldwide on myriad sites mostly science and technical based and hundreds of trolls dispensed with and I don't like confrontation.

+1... very well said.
Automatic (CVT) transmissions are for wussies... and girls.
(no offence to any female gear shifting rider, most of you will probably out-ride my a-ss)

^Agreed.
I'll give up riding before I start pushing a CVT around. At that point it may as well be a car, so why put up with all the inconvenience of two wheels with none of the joys?
I wave to everybody. Just not you.
I wouldnt give up riding if it was the only choice. The feel of the motor is just one of the things that is enjoyable about riding. Being open, out there, the smells, sights, sounds, in the elements. Even with an automatic, I would still enjoy it... just not as much
I don't see that happening. Ever.
Mina
Neither do I.
There is a large audience of people who would never buy an automatic.
