I read that gilera were making a raptor style big bike in the MCN. Dunno if it will see the light of day though.

Hi

There was the Moto Guzzi Convert and the CB400A, both of which sold less than Walls manages to sell Cornettos at the South Pole.

All the best

You get them things that look like mopeds but have 500cc engines in them, they're automatics.

Honda CB400a and CB750a - both two speed automatics with torque converters. Neither very good, both have a parking brake where the clutch should be, which made approaching traffic lights fun.

Gilera DNA and that new one in MCN this month are the only proper automatics i know of.
the only time i can think of the need for an auto is in the city when commuting. in which case the 125/180 gilera DNA is about perfect.
