A 2 minute tech look at the new Mana, sadly in Italian (?) but you can 'get the jist' of what is being said.

Well I like that, right up my street as you might say a twist and go motorbike
Wonder how much it costs (wanders off to find out)

It won't get here until next year, but I've got to try one. It looks tiny though

Yes, I've a list of bikes I want to try - not with a view to changing but just to see what they're like:
- 1) Shiver
2) Buell 1125R
3) MP3
4) Mana
.... several "novelty" offerings in there!

I do quite like the idea of the Mana.
I did find the vid MCN did a bit of a panic. It just didnt look right with the lever missing, but it is an auto, so there ya go! I dont think my right foot could operate effectively with the lack of a lever on the left. Sounds daft I guess, but I leave a finger on the left lever most of the time (just resting, mind.) It's upset my whole balance to have to adjust my riding style in that way. Subconcious stuff I guess.
S'troo I tells ya!!

Ahhh but it isn't an auto if you don't want it to be, there again it ain't a manual its semi auto or auto. 6 riding modes as well.
I rang Don today to see if he knew anything about when it'll be available, best guess is Aprilish next year.

Hmm, meant to ask Don to see if he'd do a write up on his views of the new models..
Actually, was going to ask him some other stuff too...
Shall PM you at some stage..
