So Dudley dropped off this Aprilia Mana today.....An 850 V-twin AUTOMATIC.......!!!
S'true, no clutch, the gearlever is there for show....and it has a handbrake.... ;D
I only rode it around the block today, very hectic day at the hospital, but it is quite lekker to ride, like a potent scooter that looks like a roadbike....in 'Touring' you just twist the throttle and it goes, in 'Sport' mode you can shift the gears with two lekker buttons on the left bar, '+' and '-' for gears up and down, like Peaches 120i using the auto and manual sttings on the auto box, I'll ride it a bit tomorrow and get a better feel for it...
