Did you find the ride any different because you didn't have to pay attention to the engine/gears?

Yes, or else it would be completely pointless. Then again, it must be filling a very tiny market, probably why I've only ever seen one.

I'm certain you can't ride it on an automatic licence. (Is there such a thing for bikes?)

It's much the same as a semi-automatic car, which is what this bike is, you can't drive those on an automatic car licence as far as I know.

every auto gearbox has a manual override - its the lack of a manual clutch that makes the difference Thumbs Up

Not many auto gearboxes on a bike have a manual override. Usually its just CVT, ie continuously variable transmission, so no gears as such.

yes there is and yes you can ride it on an auto licence i know at least three people who do

and you can drive a semi auto car on auto licence as long as there isn't a clutch

and auto bike licences also let you drive micro cars as long as they are the auto ones and you passed before feb 2001
