Well, automatic and sports bike really are mutually exclusive.
It also doesn’t make a ton of sense, since learning to shift is a very important part of learning to ride a motorcycle…
looking through the RTA site I see nothing about automatic vs manual… near as I can tell the only bikes under 250cc you can’t ride are GP replica racers (which you wouldn’t really want to learn on anyways). and for the list above 260cc, they pretty much only limit supersports. The Ninja 500 (EX500) is allowed, as are basically all the fun-yet-not-insane middleweights.
Honestly, it looks like a good list to chose from…
Can you point me to where it says you can’t have a manual transmission?
(oh and the CBR125 is a sweet little bike).
