Answer 1

I noticed a couple of these goobers told you they have 700cc engines instead of 750cc. Instead of guessing they could have just looked here:

  Ridleys are rather expensive so if you're trying to save money and  want an automatic that will do highway speeds look at big scooters by Honda, Suzuki and Kymco.

Answer 2

I've seen them a few times at motorcycle events but never got around to riding one.  I have only seen one on the road outside of that.  

They look really nice and with a 700cc engine, have enough power to get you where you need to go.  However, they are rather pricey.

If you need/want an automatic transmission, I would suggest that you pass on the Ridley and look at Honda Silverwing, Yamaha TMax or something similar.  Those are about 500cc still plenty power for you and less than half the price of the Ridley.

Answer 3

THey look fine I have never rode one only 700cc and expensive. If you are looking for automatic try looking at Kymco Xciting 500 scooters. Ready to go coast to coast. Very high  quality

Answer 4

Well, they look fine (I will stop short of saying they look good) as they look like any other basic cruiser.  They are automatic but their engines are smiliar, if not the same as most of your mid-size cruisers which scares me a bit because being able to shift, engine brake, and completely disengage the clutch (cut the engine power to the rear wheel) when you want to is very important in my heart and is a matter of safety.  If you are looking at an automatic motorcycle for the purpose of getting around having to learn to shift, you should look at a large scooter, like the Honda Silverwing (as suggested by another person) or a Piaggio MP3 500cc.  You should consider taking a basic safety riding course, however, regardless of what type of two wheel (or three wheel) machine you want to take out on the road.

Answer 5

I know they are made in Oklahoma, I think they are 750cc. Thats about all I know about them. I don't think I would buy one, Although they are made in America.
