My Spyder is manual shifting - Clutch lever on handlebars, motorcycle style.

My Spyder is Semi-Automatic (SE) and I shift with my index finger and thumb.

Manual (SM) or Elecitric Semi-Auto (SE) shifting?
Hi everyone. I'm curious to see what type of transmissions are out there the most, the manual (with clutch lever on handlebar), or the semi-automatic thumb/index finger shifter?
Thanks

Two Spyders (GS & RT-S), two SM5s. Only one vote, though.

would you buy the same thing agine?
-
Test rode both models the se5 to me was nicer, but i do a lot of city riding so that helped make up my mind
-
Test road a SE5 and was quite impressed with the shifting and what not. But in the end, just had to have a manual. Just something about having the clutch.

Re Manual or SE shifting
I can do both, but ordered a RT with SE. Loved it on the RS that I test rode.

2009 SE5 and love it. I think it is more convienent, just like an automatic transmisson in a car vs. a stick shift. I focus more on enjoying my ride rather than the driving aspect??!.

Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Either is good in the country, but my SE5 shines in town.

Love my SE5. I drive in Northern VA traffic and not having to clutch and shift makes a sometimes painful ride much easier.

I guess I'm just not that trusting a soul......
If I'm around the block, or a thousand miles from home, I'm relatively certain that my left hand and left foot are going to work, enabling me to shift my Spyder..........
All I could think about when considering buying the SE5 was finding myself waaaaay out from home somewhere stuck in first gear.............
2008 SM5 for me.....................

sm.....i wouldn't have minded an SE but couldn't pass up the deal I got on mine. Besides, my two wheeler is an auto if I want to go that route,

More of a 'feeling'...more control and lots more fun!

SE5 and neuromyopathy. Couldn't feel a shifter if I had to and with the SE5 I don't have to.

I leave the shifting duties for my two-wheeler. Both are great.
