Michelle, I have seen a few automatic conversion kits made by other companies to fit on Harleys, but have not seen any offered directly by Harley. Some are thumb shifting. The transmission technology on the Aprilia Mana 850 is more advanced than most manufacturers have. If you like the Aprilia’s features, I say go for it. Aprilia is a world championship winner and well worth trying.

Do the new conversion kits that you can order from Harley Davidson make them completely automatic or will I still have to thumb shift? I am looking for something similar in what Aprilia Mana 850 does. With them you have the option of thumb or foot shift but also is fully automatic if desired. Thanks

For trike motorcycles, yes, the laws do vary by state regarding license requirements. In your state of New Jersey, a motorcycle is defined as "any motor operated vehicle of the bicycle or tricycle type, except for a motorized bicycle". See our page on how to get a motorcycle license for more information.

Sounds like a cool idea! Have you considered an automatic trike motorcycle? Check out the Ridley in the newest post about trike motorcycles. As a side note,my friends and I are volunteering as motorcycle marshals in the upcoming MS "Breakaway to the Beach" in Sept in Carolinas. John

Great article. I’ve been looking at all three bikes and I’m having a hard time deciding which one I want. Do you know of any future automatic bikes that may be on the way? I like the Qlink Legacy, which is the same as a CFMoto V5, but the engine is just a 250cc and I’d like something int the 550cc to 600cc range so I can take it on the highway. I’ve heard Qlink or CFMoto might come out with a 500cc bike soon. Do you know anything about that or other companies coming out with automatic motorcyles?
