BSJ Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 As good as the Aprilia and the Honda may or may not be it would be a cold day in he11 before this old boy goes automatic! He11, I am still getting used to helmets, blinkers and headlamps on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_boo Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Ummh; I think he was talking about an affordable (Thai standards) automatic sports bike. So rule out those 1/2 million bikes and get y'all's minds back on a CBR frame with a 125i (hopped up I hope to god) engine in it. And yes, I think it would sell like hotcakes.

Are you familiar with the CPI GTR150 and GTR180 ?? The chinese manufacturer was trying to find dealers in Thailand a year or two ago.. See them in Malaysia fairly commonly. Now put that up against the Yammy R15.. and tell me its what you would choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerband Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Automatic CBR 150 or an automatic Click...give me the auto cbr please bigger wheels, gas tank for grip...better stability, better yet throw a gas tank under the rear fender and turn the current gas tank into a storage compartment. Im sure they could make a very mean auto, no reason they couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it was a choice between the R15 and an auto Chinese bike I know which one I'd choose; especially since the R15 is selling for some 70K THB and that GTR150 is selling for 76K+ THB.

Wish the negative posters had tryed a 500cc+ auto bike. Powersliding auto is just great fun. engine always within peak powerband. yammy Tmax has been described as a cvt in this thread. partly truth, it also has a direct drive chain to increase rearwheel control and feel burgman is a tiptronic gear, rider selects auto or manual. just dont need to struggle with the clutch in heavy traffic honda DN 01 seems to be the best japs auto so far for the poster who said this will never sell, thats what honda said about yammys auto nouvo 7 years ago I love my Ninja 650, but if I could get a Honda DN01 at the same price officially sold in LOS I would ride auto clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Since Ferrari can make automatics ride fast, it's possible for bikes. I never minded shifting but never rode Harleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
