One & a spare?It has 2 clutches though
Twice as much chance of slipping. I suppose it's got one of those Slipper Clutch thingies that stop the rider having to match engine revs with road speed/ gear ratio. Why is everything being De skilled ? Sorry I've just realised it's an auto. Actually many years ago I was asked to have a short test ride on the Honda CB750 Auto and have to admit my first words on returning to HQ really was " who needs a gearbox". Circa Mid /late 70's.It has 2 clutches though
No need to match the revs, the computer does that automatically when it changes gear

What do you do with the time saved?Oh it also changes gear in about 0.2 seconds

No need, that is pre programmed in when it senses there is a sudden stop
Bit of a Bugger if it can't get a signal.No need, that is pre programmed in when it senses there is a sudden stop
Probably I will be past the point of caring if that feature is used
