Duh, Honda!! Can some one please tell Honda engineers why did they put all that effort in the DN-01 with the HFT transmission [what a dog & 15K ??] when they have this beautiful bike to offer with the same engine??? I am a senior rider with a damaged left foot and just waiting for an automatic tranny. I´ll probably be priced out of the VFR1200F dual clutch at 20K. There are many seniors, commuters and beginners who would love this option. There really is a way to sell the auto. tranny as a cost option and let the shift guys continue their way. Cars have been doing this for years. Honda what are you waiting for??? Thank you for your time. J. Penney P.S. scooters bite...
