Why don't motorcycles have automatic transmissions?

I thought you had a discussion about some that did?

 

[CTC B4Z]

i sure wish they were auto.... hogs and the people riding them annoy me....youtube search 'southpark dont be a fag'

 

[bigretic]

Honda is the only one I can think of that has had multiple models with auto transmissions.

 

[KLB]

You know the wife said the same thing and you both are WRONG!!!

Did you let her see this?

Know the feeling.
Good for you Jedi,

Yup, Honda has 4 or 5 models with a DCT transmission as an option.

Aprilla used to have one with a CVT but no longer imports it.

But given that 98% of cars in the US have them, why is it that 98% of the motorcycles in the US don't have them?

Hey.
He's the king of his castle.
And he has his wife's permission to say so.

Finally back to a regular 5 day work week!

I get those once in a while.

Yeah!

Keeps costs down? Not too many riders so figure keep it traditional.

I would think it could expand the number of riders by making it easier to learn.

With the idiots I already see on the road, that would not necessarily be a good thing.

Got quoted in the Chicago Tribune along with some awesome ladies from the region. That was pretty cool.

Well done!

Thanks! I was afraid it would be an anti-gun piece, but it wasn't! A pro 2a article in a major Chicago newspaper? Things are looking up.
