    Good luck!! You'll do just fine, just stay calm and don't get in a hurry. 10 speeds are easy.

    Great point about the motorcycles.
    I'm almost 50 now and have been waiting for a
    Automatic motorcycle to finally buy one.
    Looks like I'll be six foot under before someone's
    Light turns on who makes them and realizes there's
    A huge market for them.
    I still can't believe nobody sells them in this
    Day and age.

    I'm a nervous wreck myself today, and I already
    Know how to drive a stick. Lol.
    What I wouldn't give to be sitting on that yard watching
    Him trying to get out of yard without anybody noticing.

    Lol. Yeah. Spoken like a guy that had no recollection of his 1st attempt at it. Just hop in & go. No need for any training as long as you stay calm.

    i do believe decades ago, Honda actually had "some sort" of automatic, but i cannot remember if it was for a Wing, or some defunct model. it may have only been a short term plan, or some sort of "feeler" plan to see how popular it would be.

    from my understanding, an automatic motorbike, would have to have a rather large automatic, compared to any of the manuals they have


    i used to buy all my cycles at one particular Honda/Suzuki dealer, that's where i was told this.

    i think real scooters have a type of automatic, and believe me, some of those are as high priced as a regular motorbike..!!!!!

    oh, ok here ya go...
