hello TS. Curious to know what are your thoughts on the automatification trend when it comes to transmission. Tech like quickshift getting more common by the days, to top it all off, Honda is implementing e clutch on more models https://www.cycleworld.com/motorcycle-news/...to-more-models/.

I can't help but feeling that bikes are in the midst of transition phase from manual to automatic gearbox as the mainstream config as the automobiles did a decade ago.

I think bikes will undergo the same path as cars. There is bound to be enthusiasts who don't want the added weight of eclutch and prefer to stick with pure manual.

At least keep the pure manual option for as many variants as possible, not gatekeep to certain models.
