So whaddya reckon?

 

interesting, but not for me

 

had a Honda Odessy with the same "clutch", just accelerate,

good idea, cant see me getting one,

looks good for those people who find it hard to use a clutch, also looks like they could put the accelerator on the left if need be.....

in this day and age autos should be avalble on all bikes

auto's would get more people riding

Husqvarna was making auto dirt bikes in the 70's from memory.

Back in the 1980s I bought a new red Honda Oddasey.... it had the same setup but it was open not inclosed and I flogged the piss out of it along beaches and sand hills for 4 and half years ....rebuilt motor twice but never ever touched the auto drive...........only thing the belt didnt like going through deep water it would slip so I just took it easy for a couple hundred meters then all ok again......so I think the system was dam good.....wingy.

At first this sounds wrong but seeing the video, the transmission seems really smooth.  I wouldn't mind trying one out to see what it's like.

 Moto Guzzi did a 1000 cc two speed automatic in the late 70s too.  I think it was called the V1000 convert or something similar.

mmmmmm---he didnt say how many gears are in the box--do you think it would chop itself down in corners? Do you know if you have any control over the gear selection--cheers Grim
