Question

Does anybody know of a bike with an automatic transmission?

Answer 1

Never heard of one, Hondas and Chinese clones have used an automatic or Centrifugal clutch, for 50 odd years, and various mopeds have used a torque converter and some bikes notably the Moto Guzzi 1000 Convert have used a Torque converter and two speed gearbox but as regards automatic gear shifting I have never heard of such a thing, and I would think it would be incredibly dangerous if it changed down banked over on a wet road.

A flappy paddle shift without an auto function a la F1 car would be real handy as it would mean you could concentrate on keeping your knee on the deck and not on gear changing

Nothing worse than trying to change up and the road wont let your foot under the gear lever, or the road wont let the lever down on old British bikes.
