A few Aprillia Mana 850 GT questions

    At the moment, I have an full A license, but it is restricted to automatics.

    I am strongly considering upgrading to an Aprillia Mana 850 GT, but I'm wondering if I need to upgrade the license to remove the restriction? The reason is that whilst the Mana 850 is technically automatic, you can manually change gears if you like. In essence, it is both automatic and manual.

    I assume that to remove the restriction means taking the driving test again (I assume there is no need to do theory test). Does anyone here know for sure?

    My second question is what is the cheapest method of buying the bike new? Is importing cheaper and likely to cause complications or a lot of extra hassle?

    And lastly, what insurance company would you recommend, taking into account that I'm willing to do any rider assessment courses?

    Thanks for any assistance!!!

    had a look at a few websites and they just sound like the "gears" on a burgman, I wouldnt exactly call it manual anyway but you never know, maybe ask on the motors forum the same question only about a car with a tiptronic/paddle shifting gearbox as that seems very much like the same thing.

    Dose it have a manual clutch leaver? ie. do you pull a clutch to change gear, stop etc?
    No clutch leaver = automatic as far as i know.
