I, personally, like automatic motorcycles. I also like traditional manuals, for those about to take my head off in the comments below.
But to me, they offer something most manual motorcycles don't. The opportunity to really focus on the basics of picking a line, throttle control, braking, and how to lean a bike. And not just for beginners, either, offering up an easier route to motorcycling and learning motorcycle dynamics. Automatic motorcycles can even help seasoned riders get better in their fundamentals as it removes one input from the equation, i.e. the clutch. It allows you to focus.
