do street bikes come in automatic?

u could either get a scooter which is mostly automatic...suzuki has 1 as either an auto or standard. or if u want an auto that looks like a regular street bike, u need to go to ridley.com. be advised that the ridley's aint cheap.

You could pick up a used Honda-matic (I believe they no longer put those in motorcycles, only ATVs), I believe they are a two speed automatic. You'll probably get bored though, as automatics cut down on the fun. If you are planning on any type of higher speed travel or touring, go with a manual transmission. It'll last longer, be more fuel-economic, and more comfortable. It's tricky at first operating a clutch, but the pay off is well worth it.

No mate, unless you consider a scooter as a streetbike then maybe that would be the exception.
Most streebikes have enough power that they require gearing to transmit the power and to gain high road speeds.
Also, an automayic would weigh more than a conventional sequential gearbox.
There are probably more reasons but these are the obvious one's to me.

This isn't automatic, but "clutchless electronic shifting". One hell of a beautiful touring bike if you're interested in something this big and this fast.

I checked out this site and they have crotch rocket types that are automatics. Look good, but not sure what their performance is.

You may have to look a little bit, but you can probably find one....it would be lame, but they probably make them. It will no doubt be very expensive though.
