only scooters usually have automatics. the bergman scooter has an option to be full auto or shift like a regular bike. typical street bikes are a standard 1 down and 4 up, 6 speeders being 1 down and 5 up. the only street bike that is only automatic is ridley's. every one else is standards.

I have a 2006 gsxr 1000 whats better turbo or noz?

MOST motorcycles are 4,5,or 6 speed manually shifted, constant mesh two shaft indirect drive transmissions. The old British bikes and Harleys use three shaft (actually a lay shaft) direct drive transmission. Years ago Honda and Suzuki introduced some automatic models, the transmissions were the same as other bikes except they were two speeds (still needed to be manually shifted) and used a fluid drive (torque converter) for engine to tranny coupling. Recently Honda with its ATVs and Yamaha with its big sport tour model have used electric shifters that are electronically controlled. As stated in the first answer you received many scooters and ATVs have variable ratio belt drive systems similar to snowmobile drives. The only bike that I know of that uses a fully automatic automotive style transmission is Boss Hoss with their Chevy engined bikes
