The DN-01 is powered by a 680cc V-twin, and uses a hydraulic mechanical continuously variable automatic transmission with two automatic modes and a manual six-speed. Shifting is accomplished using handlebar buttons.

"The unique, low-styling body features a liquid-cooled four-stroke 680 cc OHC V-twin engine that resonates power and a new automatic transmission, the Human-Friendly Transmission (HFT), that delivers superior throttle response for comfort even on long rides, and simple operation with no need for clutch use, allowing sporty riding."

it's a friggin' moped!

A lot of riders prefer shifting and don’t consider riding a real experience unless the motorcycle is manual but I’m sure at one time drivers said the same about cars. Everything changes and I see this “shift” from manual to automatic for motorcycles a product of its times. With the V-Twin 680cc fuel-injected four-valve putting out 64-hp it should be peppy and quick… likely stomp most Harleys. I think this is a great looking bike. A little behind the curve with the auto trannny. Ridley (if you can afford one) already makes an automatic cruiser.
