If you don't know that much, you probably shouldn't be considering one in the first place.

What is an auto clutch?
Do you mean an automatic transmission? The answer is no.
The question I have, is why do you want to know?

i don't know if the following list is accurate or not, but if it is the GSX1300R Hayabusa (2001!) is faster than any other bike on the planet, with the top speed of 189.6 !

if you're thinking about buying this for your first bike, think again.

Once upon a time there were hondamatics.
And the new 2006 FJR 1300 is going to have a "computer controlled clutch," meaning you shift, but don't do the clutch work. Kind of bothers me that they would do that though. Biking is already to accessible for people who think they can just hop on a super sport and go. Taking away the clutch will just make them cockier.

No they dont have a clutch....And yes you can put on an automatic, it goes inside the battery, but you have to take the tires off to get to the battery. DUH!!! i thought everybody knew that.

Actually, if you just drive it around town, you can leave it in first gear. I think they can go 60 mph in first gear.

Honda back in the 70's made a few Honda matics. I think one I was based the 750 OHC and a 450cc, there is a new honda machine comming out thats basicly a large displacement scooter, but a sports bike with a AUto transmission is a kinda contradition in terms , I suggest if you cant run a manual transition then buying any sports bike, or bike even is something that you as a person should rethink.
