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.

Yeah those V twins are noisy, one mate has added another muffler. What I was really pointing out, the CVT needs a lot more revs to spool up and drive than the typical centrifugal clutch as per the manual bikes hence the extra noise. I use mine mostly on high country stations shooting pesties, and being able to move along with the least amount of noise helps.
Power steering on these beasts is a great thing, less chance of the bike taking over control when on rutted track.
