Yamaha's MT-09 Y-AMT. Can an old dog learn new tricks and operate the new automatic gearbox?

I just paid for mine yesterday, I’m a fresh rider. Going to pick it up Monday. Can’t wait really, this thing is a masterpiece

Im a huge fan of auto bikes, I find them much more fun to ride as don’t have to think about gears.

Oh dear , its coming to all bikes. I want my clutch 😂. As you say, once you get use to it then happy days. Great review 👏

[@gsd32i]

Thanks 👍

Really informative video, thanks for getting into the small details. Getting one next week - as a left leg amputee I've been waiting for a decent naked bike to come along with an auto transmission. I've been riding a CanAm Spyder for the last 12 years and it uses the same manual system but without the fully auto option. The only problem I can see is that finger/thumb switch flicks forward to shift up on the Spyder. The Y-AMT system flicks back to change up. It might take a few wrong shifts to get used to that.

Enjoy the new machine. Keep that front wheel on the deck👍

Interesting idea! With an up and down quickshifter on my bike already, I barely use the clutch apart from slow speed, annoying stuff, so having this system would be great for commuting. I'd still like a gear lever tho I think, rather than or maybe as well as the paddles. If these are successful, it'll be interesting to see if the next gen versions are designed with this in mind, rather than as a heavy add on. Not sure it'd be worth the extra money for me tho, plus the resale value is a bit of a worry. Overall, interesting, but not for me.

Not as bad as KTM but I dont like Yamaha styling. And that automatic rubbish isn't for me so I'll give this one a miss.😊
