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

I sold an older MT-09 manual to get a Honda NC DCT (proper dual clutch auto), and glad to see there may be a Yamaha to switch back to, as after the DCT I can't go back it's just so good.

As a owner of a 18 nc750x DCT auto, I tried the mt09 YAMT and i have to say yes, the dct is super smooth and much more pleasant to ride with, but holy hell the 09 is a bike in its own leauge, the 09 yamt is brutal with the shifting meanwhile the nc is buttery smooth, two different bikes tho; one's a naked sport bike with like 120 hp if i recall correctly? and the other is a 54hp touring bike; Must say the NC750 beats the 09 any day of the week when it comes to comfort and joy of riding, with the 09 i would loose my lisence way too quickly haha.

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

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.

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.
