My first experience of CVT in 1990 gave me a grin for about 5 minutes, beyond that I came to realise that using such a machine takes away all skills needed to ride a REAL motorcycle with the sole exception of balance, kind of makes me cry for the past never mind smiling for an automatic future using what has become known as Twist & Go.

Not to mention the exhaust lifter which if handled incorrectly could give one a very painful leg from the recoil.

That said I do appreciate the ease of use & reliability of modern machines, that said if there's an offer of a go on your S8 .........
