Stick to a manual or the manual / auto gearbox, CVTs are a shit to use as a sneaky hunting bike as you have to rev the crap out of them to get them rolling. Got two mates with Can Am's and you can hear them take off from miles away, while the Honda just quietly purrs away off then mark in stealth mode.

Maybe a the problem with the noise from the V twins was not the CVT?

Still wondering why my neighbor asks me how often my 750 rears up on me going up hill, as this does not happen. I'm guessing an uphill down change in an auto can be stimulating.
