On top of just not having a way to regularly charge the thing, I don't think I'd want to buy a motorcycle without a clutch. It's part of the fun. I know there are automatic ICE motorcycles out there and that's great for those who want it. But it's just not why I wanted to ride a bike. Hell, I even went out of my way to buy an older model of my bike because the new ones come with clutchless shifting (altho not a fully automatic transmission). I didn't at all want that "feature".

I was looking at a Honda Rebel 1100 a while back and passed on it because it was a DCT.
