    Tiptronic gear change, that should make waving easier. Well someone was going to say it.

    Feels like you are in control - particularly if you want to flog it.

    It's not a CVT transmission.

    But its engine is very much a motorcycle unit, the easy-going if rather unexciting 680cc V-twin found in the Deauville tourer, detuned to a soporific but new-licence-friendly 33bhp, and final drive is by shaft rather than the belt commonly used on scooters. Between the two is a first for a two-wheeler: a fully variable, automatic transmission dependent on hydraulics rather than the usual belts and variable diameter pulleys. It's certainly clever, using a swash plate (a disc mounted centrally on the end of a drive shaft, tilted like a wobbling plate) to drive hydraulic pumps that in turn drive hydraulic motors to power the rear wheel. The swash plate's angle is varied by an ECU-controlled solenoid, effectively altering the gearing automatically.
    from here

    certainly sounds like the internals are a cvt, even though it is used a a tiptronic. I thought you would getter better acceleration using the cvt as it should be used, and holding the revs at max hp.

    An interesting concept and one we will see more of as the big scooter/ motorcycle boundaries blur. It's just I'm not really sold on the looks of this one.
    Sorta looks like they borrowed a cdax spray unit off a quad and squashed it to shape.
    I follow the 50/50/90 rule.
    Anytime I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right there is a 90% probability I will get it wrong

    Sounds like you should sell the SV and buy a DN-01!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    The Achilles. You would imagine that like most technologies it will become cheaper - after it's copied in Taiwan maybe.
