Automatic motorcycle? |
Well i want a bike and are looking into them i want automatic but i know most bikes arnt. I want a sport bike hopefully under $5000 and newer and good condition. I will probably end up getting clutch im just not used to it but im sure i would get used to it after awhile. any recommendations?. i dont care the maker of the bike just want it to look sweet(sporty) and be fast and in good condition. thanks!! My wife had a 1984 Suzuki 400 Automatic, and Honda made some in the late 70s and early 80s, but I don't know for how long :( actually you can shift a bike without the clutch, you really only need it to get moving :) with the torque converter you can putt as slow as you want, 1 or 2 mph, great for parades and throwing papers :) ours was a 2 speed, low and Drive and as fast as a 80's hi -performance car at mid 15 sec 1/4 mile with a top speed of 90 mph Source(s): I test drove a Hondamatic 750 and they were dangerous, if the throttle stuck, or was on fast idle, it would take off on you :( well honda made the honda matic back in the 80s it was a total flop tho the only other autos are some of the scooters, so it looks like its stick for you but any bike is good under 5000 is a good price range try a suzuki sv650 great starter bike I can only recall the Honda Hondamatic that's an actual automatic. There are ones coming out (FJR) that has a handlebar shifter vs the foot shifter. Using a shifter is pretty easy though. Get a smaller bike (like a Ninja 250) and practice on that. I think a bike shifter is lots easier than a car shifter (probably explains why I only own three motorcycles and no car :) ). look at a Ridley. they look somewhat like a Harley, and have a variable ratio belt system that makes them work like an automatic. No sport bike has an automatic. No sport bike rider would buy it, only posers. First of all, buying an automatic bike would be like riding an automatic wheelchair... or whatever those things old people ride are called. Anyway, the point of buying and riding a bike is the whole experience of it! The balancing, the shifting, the revving and so on. So... YOU DO NOT WANT AN AUTOMATIC BIKE, trust me. If you go to your local dealership, you will usually find back models that are from a year or two ago at around 4 to 6 thousand dollars. Remember, the sticker price isn't final, they can always cut you a deal! Check out the 05 or 06 Yamaha R6, those are the sexiest bikes around. Be sure to get a good helmet and a bike jacket for protection. As far as the clutch/shifting goes, you don't want to "wing it." Practice driving a stick-shift car. Once you get the hang of it, the transition to bikes will be much easier and smoother. Lastly, be safe and be safe, and be especially safe. Don't forget to have fun!!! |
