Paddle shift killed the manual transmission we all grew up with.
“It’s just the same!”
Only... not really.
All auto trans cars have an expiration date. Manuals can live forever.
I traded my two wheeled Honda in for a Can Am Spyder with a paddle shifter. I don’t mind the semi automatic transmission. Recently we rode the Ozarks and I actually down shifted a few times around tight turns. The thing missing is the down shift compression to slow the bike.
