I would absolutely love an automatic but not the sport type. Something more like the Ridley. I would buy a Ridley now but I am afraid of them not making it and then who would repair it??? I know a lot of women who don't ride their own but would if they could get rid of the clutch. I took the motorcycle riding course and passed but I am still afraid and have decided not to ride my own. I never liked a manual car either. My hope is that a well known company will come out with one so I feel secure in purchasing it. Help!!!

I don’t want to give up riding just because I’m missing a piece of me. Tony I am interested in an automatic transmission because I have to have my left foot amputated.

The problem with them is getting parts. They make so few bikes that it's next to impossible to get parts. I have a 2001 Ridley speedster (24 inch seet height for short women like me). Since they only made 40 of them that year, I haven't been able to get parts for it. I've been trying since Dec 05 just to get an oil fill cap. I need new front shocks and have been getting the run around from them. If I don't see the parts within 3 weeks, I'm ready to take action against them. Unless you know how to fabricate your own parts, I'd advise against purchasing a Ridley. Val Ridley Corporation makes a sharp looking automatic motorcycle. The problem with them is getting parts.

The cycle-journalist keep anouncing the arrival of the auto-tranny based on concepts but we have yet to actually see on at the dealer showrooms. By the way, I hate the 'super-scooter' step-thru style... a bike needs to have a proper gas tank between your legs. I would love to buy a 700cc – 800cc auto tranny motorcycle for everyday use.
