Sure there is manual mode but if your driving around in manual mode all the time then you may as well get a MT. In a perfect world it would be nice to have a true manual with three pedals that could be shifted automatically in those rare cases where you want to be lazy. The old BMW SMG was a true manual box that was driven automatically but didn’t have the third pedal or shifter for manual operation.

You can skip the AT. It's pretty boring to drive. First twin I test drove was an AT (all that was available) and i put the thought of owning a twin out of my mind for a couple years. The AT was not a great feeling and I thought the car was incredulously slow. Being paired to the AT didn't help the speed thing, but....it was not the car I thought it would be at first drive.
