Yamaha Y-AMT | The Future HAS Arrived!!

I've always been sceptical with automatic motorcycles & its one of the reasons I'm not overly keen on electric bikes! You loose too much of the rider engagement.
So when Yamaha invited me to the launch of their new Y-AMT system I had some reservations..

u can't imagine how happy i am to see this bike with auto transmission. i lost my left leg in a motorcycle accident and this bike is heaven for me! thank you for the review!

[zedman]

As someone with a knackered left ankle I like the look
Of this it opens up more exciting bikes to people with a left foot/leg disability

[steveizett]

I test rode one today and I loved it, rode it in automatic and manual, it works very well, the auto is amazing when navigating through the city, so easy and lets you concentrate more on where you are going. There are a number of advantages to using the auto in certain situations. Don't knock it till you try it! I'm buying one.

I've been riding since 1966, and have had to sell my MT09SP for a Honda NC750X DCT, because of a, hopefully temporary, foot disability. I have had absolutely no problem in adapting to the use of the gearbox, in auto, or manual. If the Yanmaha system is anything like as good as the DCT, then it will be brilliant, and 40kg less than the NC!!

Things are changing I like the idea of it great honest review chops keep up the great vids

[timweijdeveld]

Keep up the good work! You guys van het big! 💪🏻 I’m not near owning a HD yet, give me some time, i’ll get there. Trying to work on my Yamaha Tracer and Honda Grom. How about some MasterMechanic Grom tips&trics? 🏍️❤ from the Netherlands

I'm am an experienced rider with a MT09SP. As I don't do town riding, I don't require this set up. If however I was a new rider, or used the bike in traffic, this would be a excellent solution. This system might open the market up to a whole new segment of riders for Yamaha while still appealling to the current ones. I think Yamaha has done really well.

[BikeMatters]

Top video mate! Great to share the road with you that day, what a launch.

[cribs]

I think it’s a fantastic addition to motorcycling and will make the hobby (and commuter option) a lot more attainable to the average buyer. I’m lucky enough to have a Diavel V4 manual for fun and an auto TMAX for the work stuff but I’d seriously consider this as my “fun commuter”. I wouldn’t recommend a manual MT09 to the wife but I would this. Makes you stop to think. Well done Yamaha, we love you 🫶 And Chopsy of course 😊

Nice work John - but I'm with you, the loss of a clutch lever may be a step too far - I think Honda have this right with their system, auto if you want it or use a clutch and a gear lever if you want too... (and what do you mean DCT is on "fuddy duddy" bikes!!! How dare

[jag]

One less thing to think about but one more thing to go wrong. I've had two DCT Goldwings and while they have there place I've just bought a 24 Africa Twin in the manual and the fun is back in motorcyling for me. I wish engineers wouldn't try fixing what isn't broken all the time. Those roads in spain are amazing btw.

[tvk]

after so many years dct, e-clutch, y-amt, asa....v...v everything makes motorbikes more wonderful!

[skts]

I’ve got an H2SXSE and love the thing, especially after having it remapped👌🏽… But I do European two up touring and decided to get a VFR1200X DCT! I’ve had it about a year and can honestly say it’s bloody brilliant, comfy, relaxing when and if you want it to be! Engaging to ride out of the auto mode, in the fully auto mode it changes up like a mini metro auto🤢🫣but in manual mode, it’s brilliant. Obviously it’s not the same as the Yam system, but it’s very similar and you know what, it’s superb for long distance trips and touring! H2 for sunny days out, DCT for the big hauls, what’s not to like👍🏽

[tonydenial]

About time Yamaha offered this option, think of all those older bikers like myself who struggle with previous injuries from the 80's/90's and find it difficult either clutching in or changing gear by foot, I myself wear a raised boot to compensate for bone loss in my lefty and have ridden and owned the 2023 DCT Wing and the DCT NT1100, both of which I found too heavy eventually, then I bought a new XSR900 which I loved being so light but when I got off it I couldn't walk as I had to wear a normal boot, I ended up giving it to my stepson earlier this year, now Yamaha have addressed it I'll be looking at auto model.

[Mochi_Dough]

I'm happy that companies are expanding their technologies in motorcycles! Options are always a good thing! Anything to get more people riding on 2 wheels, be they new or getting back in to the hobby due to a injury or whatnot. But overall I'm excited for what the future will bring!

[gareth]

Think it needs to be referred to as an automated manual, it’s not an automatic like people keep saying, it’s more like an SMG box in a bmw or s-tronic in Audi!
Personally think it’s a great idea, I’m not bothered about wheelies as would probably fall off! Be good to see it used in anger on a track though to prove the system!
Great review chops!👍

[morty]

As a long time big scooter and Honda DCT rider, this is very exiting news. If it comes on the smaller models also I might be interested.

[Icemn]

Surprised this hasn't been done already to be honest.
I can see the appeal.

[wheelsstrings]

A redundant foot control switch with the same functionality as the paddle would be a nice addition.

[gregtufnall]

Hey John, looks very similar to the Power Shifter that we had fitted to Alex’s bike when he ruined his leg. That was surprisingly easy to get used to so I’m sure this system is the same. Absolutely ideal for those that need or want it 👍
