So, if it's got a manual transmission, it's a motorcycle but if it's an automatic, it's a scooter?!?

Why is this not a motorcycle with an automatic transmission? Same tires, same engine, just a different stance. But there are a range of different stances in the motorcycle world today.

Agreed. It’s a motorcycle with an automatic transmission.

not sure but what is interesting about the scooter is it has a CVT tranny. THat’s pretty cool. Means you never feel the thing shift nor do you have to shift.

That “different stance” looks kind of like a standard Harley riding position. The only thing I don’t like about this thing is the CVT transmission. You can’t “gear down” on one of those things and you can’t take it out of gear to coast.I used to love to put my bike in neutral to go down those lo-o-o-ong slopes in the Rockies.
