Seems pointless unless you are a pro.

It might seem that way, but a lot of guys try it and like it. However, it's difficult to go back to a "regular" bike after you've been riding one with GP shift for a long time. Just ask DLIT.

and it keeps people from riding off with your bike... just ask Trip... though they do end up hiding it in the bushes...

Like it as a preference or like it because there is some advantage?

If there is something I am missing please let me know.........

I use it, I like it. It's good for track because when you are upshifting out of a corner it is much easier to press down than reach under and pull up. Especially in a left turn where you might not have the clearance to reach under.

to be honest... it always seemed GP shift was the comon sense way of shifting...

just me...

infact when first learning how to shift i had to remember to pull up to go fast (next gear)

So how is the learning curve switching from regular to GP?

Kevin Schwantz used standard shift.

If he uses it it's good enough for me.
