Just like my scooter, great work Honda.

You missed the point of smercer's post: he'll miss the rider involvement of shifting, and I will too. I think it'll be harder to produce motorcycle with optional auto/manual transmissions, so the OEMs will just make the more-popular setup, which will be automatics, since the vast majority of people are too retarded to learn how to operate a clutch.

Dual clutch systems are much faster at shifting than manuals are. That is why Ferrari's, Lambo's, Mercedes, Audi and many more use them now instead of manuals.

nice

Well, I hope they don't stop producing manual transmissions for true riders. People who have weak hands can buy an automatic bike. Oh please! As though automatic cars aren't already killing the driving involvement!

No, the FJR uses the stock tranny with an automatic clutch mechanism. This is very different, with two clutches and other unique features.
What shifts FASTER--old or new?

That's a good question. My guess is it averages about the same, but a manual transmission could be shifted faster.

interesting concept. but what about downshifting for optimal deceleration-gear selection for taking corners?

It does it for you...the software considers road speed, engine speed, and if you're accelerating or decellerating, and changes gears for you, which means you'll alway be in the right gear...although if this bike really does have 200hp why does it matter!
It also has a paddle-shifter-style manual gearbox mode if you want to take control.
