Are there any motorcycles with automatic shifting?

My nieghbor down the street has a Honds 600 or 750 with a two speed auto, I laughed my a$$ off the first time I saw it :)

I know they used to make one (they meaning the Japanese) and I think the "Boss Hog" is a auto.

There weer some older bikes. But there are no current ones being made that I am aware of.

Getting a bike, is not for someone that can't even shift in a car. So until you get good at driving a car, DON'T get a bike.

Yeah, I'm lazy but I have a motorcycle license and I figured I might as well get a bike to go along with it at some point.

Don't even bother with an automatic. They are mostly just technical curiosities.

You know how to shift, right?

Down for 1st, up for everything after that.

Only did it for a few days though to get my license.. havent done it in almost 2 years since then and I have never driven an automatic car.

Get a manual tranny, not an auto on a motorcycle you tard. Shifting through the gears is part of the fun of being on a bike. The automatics are for the mentally or physically challenged people.....you aren't mentally or physically challenged are you?

In most states, if you *ever* refer to a scooter as a motorcycle, you are prohibited from operating anything other than a grocery cart.

May as well turn your license in now. :D

Don't they only have a single gear? There's no shifting period. With 500 hp on tap, you only need 1 gear. :)

it uses a 2 speed modified powerglide IIRC.

Lying sack of sh!t

You have never driven a manual. (that's probably what you meant though)
