CW reviewed it (and a dozen other mags- but I remember their quote) and called it "a very reasonable, perfectly fine motorcycle that just happens to have an automatic option." They weren't so forgiving of the DN-01- calling it an excuse to shove new technology down our throats, basically.

I wouldn't own the Mana- might be fun to ride, but from what I've heard, it's just way to much like a scooter. Storage under the "tank", and very soft power delivery. The "no lever" thing would drive me nuts too. That was my biggest issue with the Spyder ;-p
