I don't see the point of clutchless shifting unless your on the track. You shouldn't be pounding through the gears that fast anyways on the street. None of us are pro(rossi)

Glad you agree with me. I see this to many times in the automotive world. People trying to be unique verse everyone else and end up doing more damage then good. I would just ride it how it was design.

1. It sounds nice when done right.
2. It causes less strain on the powertrain than using the clutch if done right.
3. It's a free 'mod', unlike a quick shift kit that costs hundreds of dollars.

I would like to see physical proof that if done right it does less drivetrain wear. I mean like a full blown out testing not one person's bike. Not trying to be rude at all but just not jumping the gun of somebody's he said she said thing.
