My previous trike was a Boss Hoss, and it was automatic. Loved it, but love my wing more......

Ive been looking here for a while and have seen the Stallion. Thats a pretty sharp looking outfit. What do you think of that one? Several of my friends have Gold Wing trikes but I dont want to have to shift. I have a few years on me now.
Automatic
Trike shop makes automatice VW's in their Roadhawk series
Before Her Purpleness, a GW1500SE Motortrike, we had The Blue Trike - a Trike Shop Runabout, the forerunner to the Roadhawk Trikerbob01 mentioned. They are both around, as are other VW based trikes, and an automatic can be had. I think they use a VW bus tranny. When she got it, Gloria also had them install a footfeet intstead of the motorcycle style hand throttle. <br />
<br />
As mentioned, the Boss Hoss is sort of an automatic. I believe the older ones were a single speed. That much motor pushing around almost nothing else didn't need much more than "GO". I think the newer ones are 2 speeds - "GO" and "MORE GO". Most of the V-8 trikes (Kopavi, Ecstacy, etc.) can be had in an automatic.<br />

Ridley makes automatic 750cc motorcycles, and they have added a trike to the line up this year.<br />

If Honda does come out with an automatic Goldwing, my wife will be second in line,(She doesn't like to get up too early) and will be calling for a trike conversionwhile she is waiting.

A lot of custom bike builders can build you an auto trike from VW's or other small car automatic parts. Just check with a custom builder.

That being said I saw SOMEWHERE where ther was a kit to turn a silverwing in to a trike.
In fact here is the site
Silverwing Trike
and HERES A PICTURE
Good luck!!!
Some of the big twin HD's can be fitted with an automatic clutch, add a electric shifter (Pingel or Klicktronic) and you have the nearest thing to an automatic that you can find in conventional motorcycle based trikes. Figure a couple of thou for the clutch and shifter plus install. It won't be a cheap ride!!

Ridley is making one. Seems like a lot of money for an Automatic 650 cc motorcycle if you are just to lazy to shift. Ridley: Automatic Transmission Motorcycles: 0eight : Auto-Glide Trike
I think I saw $29,000
Re: automatic
Stallion makes great looking trikes. About the same price as a GL but an enclosed riding area with a ford motor and auto transmission. I think I'd like to try one of those. I'm not certain but I think they even have a top for them?

Ridley Motorcycles went bankrupt in 2009.
Re: automatic
I'm a little disappointed to read some of these comments.
"Too lazy to shift" isn't the only reason somone might need automatic transmission. A lot of disabled riders have licences limited to automatic or their disabilities prevent manual shifting.
