2006 1300 transmission - Anything like that?

[SDjr]

Hello all,

Saw an add for a 2006 1300 and it says it has an auto transmission. Is there such a thing. Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say, learn from you, enjoy your ride reports and your collective knowledge and wisdom in all things ST.

Thanks,

Nope, never had one and never will.

Perhaps someone means that the transmission is like that on a car - ie Shaft drive.

The FJR 1300 had an AE version if I remember.

Sounds like either a car lot selling the bike, or one of those forced you must fill out all fields adds where there is a line for type of transmission, and they picked something to finish the form to place the add.

Is it really that bad, What's your thought? Please enlighten me.

Thanks

I merely stated the ST1300 never had an auto transmission and never will since they stopped producing it. It's not that it's bad, it's that it never existed....

However, if Honda did do a DCT with it I'm sure it would be a hit... but the bike is history now... Maybe, someday Honda will resurrect it ... they've done that stuff before ... but unlikely.
