shifting an atv and motorcycle

I ride street bikes all the time. Would shifting an atv with auto clutch be to confusing swithing back and forth? For motorcycle riders, is it better to get an automatic?

Thanks

Ulitilies have a different shift pattern than a motorcycle but sport atvs have the same as a bike.

I find it isnt tough to get used to. I dont use the clutch on my streetbikes anyway, so shifting is the same on either for me.

I guess it depends on how easy the person is confused. Some people can drive anything while others need an auto on everything they drive.
