As Mossbergman11/Oh said it takes no skills to ride them.Sounds perfect for me since Im not sure I would like a maual.I just want to trail ride and maby a few small jumps...nothing big.I dont want to have to worry about shifting when im on a trail and forget or something.The kfx 700 has more than enough power and it being automatic would make it more fun for me to ride and not worry about shifting.The only thing different from the kfx and all the other ones is its auto right?I dont think it would be boring lol.
