plasticI’ve been riding their Mana since August of lst year. Really great bike. Plenty of power, easy to ride, fine pick-up speed, etc, smooth shifts – there’s in fact no shifts, but there are “fake” gear if you want to shift tiptronic style.
Afew downsides; very heavy for a first bike (dropped it a couple of times already), can’t use the clutch for low speed maneuvers, etc. Also, it drops to neutral automatically at low speeds, till you rev up again – I’ve learn to control that but giving it a bit of throttle just to keep it engaged when needed.
Again, I do like it quite a lot. Wished it was a tad lighter and lower, but that’s about it. The only other automatic bike I know of is the honda DN-01 (too expensive) and the VFR(?), which is actually clutchless but not automatic.
Find it hard to think about going standard… But maybe do it sometime for fun.
