And if you deplore manuals I am certain you will deplore a belt drive CVT even more in anything you use over the road for a long time.

The purpose is that this is a motorcycle for regulatory reasons only. The controls are just like a standard automobile. That's my major draw. Nobody sells a car in the states that only weighs 400lbs and has a 250cc engine, this fills that role.

I'm curious to know why do you think I'd dislike the cvt? I've driven cars with cvt before and had no issues with them whatsoever. What makes this appreciably different?
