I am fine with it, that is just something I have heard as an advantage of gp shift. It was a lot more of a benefit before slippers.

Is it possible that there is a fight that has nothing to do with me? My I rode gp style for years on the track and I switched my streetbikes to that set-up for obvious reasons. I honestly don't see a benefit on a street bike just an opinion of course. After my ankle was broken for the 3rd time I went back to regular shift and have been that way ever since. I agree that gp makes for easier upshifts when exiting a corner leaned over,but most riding/racing courses teach you to set up a corner upon entry,including gear selection. Although,I'm sure that some of the longer "sweepers" at some tracks require a shift mid corner,especially on a 600. A liter bike allows you to exit a corner in a higher gear negating the need for most mid corner shifts. Like anything,it's a matter of taste I guess. I just always found it funny when Mat Mlladin wanna bes change their bikes to Gp shift to be cool. Especially since MM runs his bike standard shift.

I originally changed mine to GP before any track day was in sight, but I've loved it ever since and it makes more sense now that I have 5 track days under my belt.
