My guess is Honda thinks an automatic would be more accessible to new riders. 
These days lots of people have never even driven a manual transmission car.

I've only actually seen one of these in the flesh, parked in a Harley 
dealership parking lot. Maybe they were inside looking to buy something 
that shifted. If it weren't for the automatic transmission, I'd love to 
have one. I think an automatic tranny might have killed the Pacific Coast 
as well if Honda had gone that route. I don't know what kind of market 
research has led Honda to the conclusion that we don't want to shift our 
bikes.
