The decision between a semi-automatic and an automatic motorcycle depends on the rider’s tastes, the flow of traffic, and their riding habits.

Consider the daily routes you must travel. Are all of them crowded streets? Or are there even provincial roads, wide highways, mountain passes that call for high speeds? If the world were rational, people would select the automatic bike for the first scene and the semi-automatic motorbike for the second.

However, in fact, driving habits and personal preferences will usually take precedence over how the type of route. And both automated motorbikes and semi-automatic models have their own unique characteristics.

The advantages and disadvantages of the automatic bike are visible obvious. First and foremost is usability, as there are no clutches, gear levers, or concerns about combining hand and foot precision. The maintenance for the automatic vehicle is more straightforward, as belt drives do not require lubrication or adjustment as is the case with chains.

But in another aspect, automatic motorcycles are less effecient than semi-automatic bikes. Although the belt drive does not last as long as a chain, although this vary from one to another, automatic bikes have a reduced ability for engine to control than a semi-automatic bike as the driver cannot shift to a lower gear level for using the engine to brake or grip the road when cornering, downhill.

Both manual clutch and non-handle clutch on semi-automatic motorcycles provide unique driving experiences. The gears are actively changed by the driver to provide a gear level that is appropriate for the speed, making sharp acceleration or deceleration transparent. The motorbike’s chains also work more efficiently than belts when accelerating or under heavy loads, because they are not subject to elasticity. In addition, generally, semi-automatic motorbikes have lower fuel consumption than automatic bikes.

However, semi-automatic motorbikes have the drawback of becoming annoying when involved in traffic on crowded roads and prolonged traffic jams with no way out. Not to mention, the chain also needs to be lubricated and aligned periodically for the best.

So, automatic bikes or semi-automatic bikes? The choice depends on the road’s features, individual preferences, and routines for motorbike warranty and maintenance.
