Don't you need to distinguish what type of auto transmission you are talking about?

The Honda NC/CTX700 motorcycles offer an option of the Dual Clutch Transmission, which on my 2nd gen bike has an econo "Drive" mode, a "Sport" mode and a Manual mode, or you can perform a manual up/downshift while in the automatic modes. The transmission is a standard 6 speed, not a CVT or a torque converter, only the clutching/shifting is controlled, so I don't see how it could give any less mileage than the same gear box being shifted with a foot lever and a hand clutch lever.

cheers,
Michael
