FWIW, after 30 years of manual transmissions I bought my first CVT-automatic and love it. No matter what speed I set the cruise on, the engine drops to the lowest RPM possible. And unlike my wife's 5-speed automatic's sudden gear changes and gear hunts, my Rogue CVT merely "adjusts".

I would love to try a CVT bike...
