Automatic motorcycles aren’t huge sellers in the US, but there is a definite place in the market for gas-powered automatic motorcycles and that place is growing.
Electric motorcycles are a part of this, too, but at the moment, I’m just going to focus on gas-powered, internal combustion-engined motorcycles. I’m also going to avoid scooters. Here are some of the best scooters if you want to see those. So, in other words, Honda’s bikes.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into the five best automatic gas-powered automatic motorcycles you can buy.
1. Honda Africa Twin DTC
The Honda Africa Twin is one of the best adventure motorcycles on the market period. I won’t say it’s the best, but it’s on the list. This bike is also available with an automatic transmission.
What you get is an on-road and off-road capable machine with a 1,084cc Unicam engine. That engine is connected to a 6-speed automatic DCT. This gives you an automatic motorcycle that’s ready to literally go anywhere.

2. Honda NC750X DCT ABS
Another great do-it-all machine is the Honda NC750X. This bike isn’t a specialized machine. It’s an automatic motorcycle designed for every situation, an everyday, everyman’s bike.
The motorcycle gets a 745cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. That engine is mated to a six-speed DCT. Adding an automatic to this bike makes it one of the best and easiest bikes to ride out there.

3. Honda Rebel CMX 1100 DCT
Honda’s Rebel has been a popular bike for decades, and recently Honda came out with the biggest version yet of the Rebel, the Rebel CMX 1100. It can be had with an automatic transmission.
This automatic motorcycle comes with a 1,084cc Unicam parallel-twin engine. That might sound familiar, and it is. It’s the same engine as the Africa Twin but tuned differently. The bike can also come equipped with a six-speed automatic DCT.

4. Honda Gold Wing Automatic DCT
The Gold Wing is known for being a fantastic touring machine, and now you can get this amazing bike with an automatic transmission. I have the standard Gold Wing listed here, but there’s also the Tour version. Both can be had with the auto.
As an automatic motorcycle, the Gold Wing becomes even more of a fantastic cruiser and touring machine than it always has been. The bike gets a 1,833cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. The automatic transmission for this ride is a six-speed automatic DCT.

5. Honda Super Cub C125
Okay, I kind of cheated here. The Honda Super Cub C125 has a semi-automatic transmission. Meaning, there is no clutch but you still have to click through the gears.
The bike features a super-simple 124.9cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. Making the most of that little engine is a lovely little four-speed semi-automatic transmission.
