Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

I wasn't being snippy, least I didn't mean to be, sorry if I came across that way.
I'm gonna guess CVT stands for constatly variable transmission or something? So it'd be like there wasn't gears, just a smooth transition in the relation between engine revs and rear wheel speed?
I'd imagine that'd be quite strange? At first at least.

Very strange at first. Hard to resist the temptation to rev a new bike at standstill, and reaching for a non-existent clutch lever for a while. Mostly I leave it in touring and only use the paddles for deceleration.

Having said that, it's very fast away from the lights in sport mode. No clutch -no let-up on the acceleration...
