well, if she aint comfortable on a bike, get her a bigger ATV, a Yamaha Grizzly 600 or soemthing, those things can take on anything.

I wonder if it would be possible to put the "semi automatic" shift like they have on a quad onto a motorcycle, or maybe your just sorta bump shifting on a quad, ya know, Ive never really thought about that.... how does it work?

CRF50's are 1 speeds and use a torque converter i think.

Kawasaki KLX110 and Yamaha TT-R90 are auto clutches. I don't know their specs as far as size goes, so take a look at them if you can.

Rekluse makes an autoclutch for a lot of dirtbikes. Check into their products.

Any auto tranny dirtbike that I can think of will be a smaller, beginer/child size bike. Husqvarna made a full-on dirtbike with an auto in the early '80's, but I can't see that as being a viable answer.

This thing will go anywhere you dare to try, if your so inclined......

Dudes and dudettes: Z50's, XR50's, CRF50's, and most XR/CRF70's all use a 3 speed auto CLUTCH MANUAL SHIFT transmission. No Honda has a auto transmission (bikes - we're not talking about atv's here).

Anything with an auto clutch and a traditional gear box uses 2 clutches. One is activated by the motor revving up and centrifically throwing clutch shoes against a outer hub that looks kind of like a brake drum on a car. The other is very similar to a manual clutch but the push rod for the deactivation is connected to the foot shifter instead of the cable to the handlebar.


To the original author's question, if you don't mind hondas look for a CRF230F or a CRF150F. if you're buying new Make sure you specify the F model on the 150 because they make a new hard core 150 racer. That would be fun, but then she would need to learn to use a clutch.

You will need to take her to a open field and teach her how to go through the gears on any of the auto clutch models. If she's been riding the trail boss and liking it then with proper encouragement she should catch on.
honda trx450r 04, trx200sx 86, cr80 97
suzuki rf600rr 94
polaris indy trail 488 90
and pride and joy aprilia rxv4.5 07
and counting

ps don't sell anything you will always regret it later

those rokons look funny and go very slow, but they will go anywhere. and they weigh nothing, I could pick one up all alone and toss it in a truck
