Thread: Pics of the new 2007 850cc Mana

Aprilia released the Mana, their Automatic concept they had been playing around with.

It's a computer controlled automatic, with either 3 automatic maps (sport, cruising, etc), or you can manually change gears with 2 buttons on each bar end right where your thumbs can hit them.

So I guess it is a mixed bag. You don't get the control of the clutch, but you can get real quick shifting. Plus, if you are just tooling around town, you can have the computer do the work.
