I have no issues with Honda offering it as an option, but if they ever go to automatic transmissions as a standard feature I won't be buying there bikes anymore. I enjoy shifting gears, especially on a motorcycle. Maybe when I get so old that my arthritis prevents me from being able to shift gears then I'll change my mind.
It's based on the Dan Gurney Gator from several years ago.

Reminds me of those funky recline bicycles, and if cycling were my thing, you wouldn't catch me riding one.
That's Robins bike, I'm the BAT man. LOL
