There are solutions to that, though, if you wanted to ride a bike.

Wolf's trike had this very nifty auto clutch/solenoid gearchange thing
on it; press rocker switch one way, changes up, press rocker switch
other way, changes down.

Oh I dunno. I had one on my scrambler derived CZ175, coupled to the
gear lever it was. It worked. I think it only worked for changing
down. It could have been for changing up though I can't remember but I
do know it was only one way. So really I suppose I should be saying
that one way or another it worked and the other way it didn't but it
didn't half work well when it did. I enjoyed that bike.

You had one of those? Sad git that I was, I lusted after one. When I
had 741 CZ twin.

On mine the clutch worked both up and downshifting.

That could be the future of motorcycling - automatic gearbox, traction

wheelie control, ABS. The technology is all available.
Unfortunately the technology is also available to limit your speed or

It worked well enough that it was a standard "feature" of a few bikes in the

It[1] does, though. The clutch is just operated by an electric
actuator. Not the same thing as a twist-and-go vario pulley
drive at all.

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/yccs.aspx

There isn't a clutch lever, if that's what you meant, but inside
the cases there is a normal multi-plate wet clutch and standard
5 speed constant-mesh transmission. The difference is, the clutch
and shift drum are actuated by electric motors rather than a
hand lever and your foot.

There's a nice video of how it works at the link given above.

Of course the standard non-electric-shift version FJR1300 is still
available as well.

If I had to sum up the list as a whole, it'd be "spectacularly
unimaginative."

At least the FHM top 100 one year featured Marge Simpson.

The point is that a rider who can't use a clutch could use an FJ.

The FJ is though, so you need to tighten your criteria. Not a nimble V-twin
with plenty of torque and not an in-line 4 unless it weighs less than 200kg.
And is automatic/clutchless.
