Motorcycles are a super niche product in the US. Cars and bikes are both mainstream. <0.5 million motorcycles sold in the US per year. 14+ million cars. 13+ million bikes. Look at who is riding motorcycles as well.
A modified version of the Harmony, yes.

Sean, I've got to admit, I'm intrigued by the system you describe. I'm not interested in it for my own personal use, but I think it'd be fun to try it out.

Of course, folks on a forum like this one are not too likely to appreciate that kind of system, but some of us do like to see these things develop, just to see how they work and if/how pitfalls and obstacles are overcome. I've been fascinated by the Nuvinci since I first heard of it, and when considering auto shifting, the continuously-variable nature of the N360 makes more sense, to me, than stepped gearing would.

Folks on here have mentioned that manually shifting a bike is "good enough", and I agree-- for my own personal use. Others have mentioned that if you can pedal, steer, brake, etc then you can also likely shift. This may be true for most ppl, but some ppl may prefer the mindlessness of autoshifting. (I prefer the atavism of singlespeed, myself.) Regardless, as a SO Cycling coach who knows a few guys who could definitely benefit from some sort of autoshifting system, especially a sophisticated one. If only I had the money for a set-up like that, some of the folks on the team could certainly benefit....

Well surreal Thats the way I saw it when I first saw the commercial for the landrider!! then it said four payments of 99.95 ok thats 400.00+ but I knew I wouldn't buy one! but I thought it was a good Idea?then it all just went away......

You dodged a bullet. They look like squishy-riding pieces of **** on the commercials.
