Another bit of Honda innovative technology ... E-Clutch for motorcycles

[Grumpy Goat]

I'm curious about the Kawasaki Hybrid.  Based on the news releases, it's a paddle shift 6-speed automatic without clutch or gear shift lever, just like many cars and trucks.

So am I. I saw a video about that last evening and could not help wondering at this batch of innovation in the Japanese bikes, all designed to make bikes more approachable, as a bulwark against a shrinking motorcycling market as the enthusiasts die off and the newer generation would rather play with their phones and other drama.
