Keep electric to scooters
I rode a honda automatic once,it scared the shit out of me,so glad when i saw my trusty thruxton was waiting for me😅
If the Guzzi California is released, ill buy it.
Electric motorcycles suck ! No character….pos ! Where are the Royal Enfolds popular , hard to see from here. All Triumphs are excellent ! Ducati , fine machines, same with Honda’s . Yamaha’s are ok, Kaws are bad ass, tough and fast. Guzzi , interesting, bmw. Ugly…….No one asked me, but There you have it !
For all of you worried about all the automatic trannie bikes coming out, relax. The actual motorcycle buying public will reject 90% of whatever comes to market, forcing manufacturers to revert back to clutch and shift bikes. Real riders don't want a 1200cc moped, it's the MC companies' corporate cage drivers who are all excited about this.
Don't waste time talking about electric bikes, nobody wants them.
Here in the US Wild West, anything under 600cc is basically irrelevant. Bikes of 800cc and over start to get interesting and can better handle our vast open riding spaces. 400’s? Have fun in cramped old Europe or England.
I personally can’t stand this latest trend of retro bikes. No interest at all.
"News Flash" NO 1 in the MC industry cares about ev crap!
Manufacturers, – an analogue display that provides an ergonomically efficient quantitative interpretation. TFT, LCD, Oled, mechanical or whatever. Just please take the digital info lag out of the operator loop. I want to ride.
Bigger bobber Triumph
The R1300RT looks like my old 1994 K1100LT
I am a new rider at age 57 and the last thing I'll be buying is an Auto or Battery bike. It just makes you a bike steerer instead of a rider. I feel the same about drivers who can't drive a manual car.
It’s the insurance for me that stops me buying any new bike tbh, it’s getting ridiculous now. Bikes I can afford all day long but I’m not paying thousands because I want a nice new bike which will probably get stolen lol
I am not going to ride an electric motorcycle until I am forced to, and I hope I never am. I want a clutch, no DCT, EFM or EXT for me, ever. I want to operate my motorcycle myself, I don't want to be regulated to just another passenger.
A bona fide intention to use a Trade Mark is the effective standard in most of the world. In the USA you have to demonstrate actual use in the last 5 years when renewing a US Trademark Registration. The last use in 2021 of California will suffice so Moto Guzzi are good for another 9 years or so to release a new model under the Mark should they choose.
The way things are going in the UK with bikeshops closing left and right, we will have these new bikes but there will be no dealers left to sell them.
So no further RE 450 models at the moment 🤔
ktm need to fix the models they have— not make more problems
Come on Ducati, just make a lightweight V2 650cc Panigale that puts out 100 ponies. Surely, if Aprilia can make a RS660, you can make something better…. 🤔
Nothing exciting from Honda. No surprise, unfortunately.
No automatic motorcycles 👎🏼
minus the new 400 triumphs and the moto guizzi, you got to hate on the new line-ups of amts and e bikes soon to come out and inevitably flop
I'll stick to a manual regarding automatic gearboxes. Are we getting that lazy.. next thing we will be riding electric scooters!!!
I like motor bikes too
The advantage of auto gear box is the way to go.
Only few people want electric cars, but NOBODY wants electric motorcycle. Just saying it to save huge losses for the motorcycle manufacturers.
The year of flops for motorcycles. I can safely say nobody wants electronic bikes at all, bikes make fantastic mileage as they are, and eletric bike are silent, which is dangerous. Nobody is asking for them to exist ,except the people producing them. 😂
I have a friend who bought a Honda DCT recently. He still reaches for a clutch once in awhile he enjoys the freedom of slamming the throttle as his putt-putt does as it's told and kicks down a few gears and he's off to the races waving with his left hand. It also seems that Wingers are being bought with the DCT more often than not.
You can stick electric bikes where the Sun doesn't shine, EV's are souless piles of crap, designed for the Joe Gumbies of the World.
