For me personally I think having a Quickshifter/Blipper is a game changer, like a few have said you only need to use the clutch on first to second and second to first (setting off and coming to a stop), otherwise it work flawless. The same is true for a lot of motorcycle electronics, take the STRS 765 for example, you can turn off all rider aids, I did this in the summer for a track day (I don't do hardly any these days), the reason why I turned everything off was to avoid the ABS and traction control kicking in, now would I turn them off for riding on public roads not a chance, I embrace the electronic advancements, having ridden many many machines with no rider aids I am a convert to all these advancements. Take the electronics on my son's Panigale 1299s, it has fantastic electronics, his quickshifter is silky smooth an done of the best I have ever used, he runs it permanently in race mode, however when I ride it I put it in sport mode a sit utilises more electronics, it is running 220 BHP and is lighter than my STRS 765, so for me personally it gives a far better riding experience, and I wouldn't want to keep using the clutch lever to change up and down the gearbox all the time on twisty country roads. The same is true for the clutch slip assist design the bikes have, changing down gears approaching bends, you no longer risk having the back wheel lock up as you used to have. Knowing how and why these electronics work is also vital, as is their limitations and rider ability. If all the rider aids enhance a riding experience and make for a more enjoyable ride out, then why would anyone not want this. Ride safe all from an ageing Rocker.

Lol i agree with everything you and everyone has said,it's only my opinion that it doesn't do it for me (at this point).And i can't see it will change, especially as every triumph I've owned and ridden have had brilliant gearboxes.Plus I seem to recall that it wasn't too long ago that members were saying they had wrecked their gearboxes using quickshifters.

Pumped the front tyre up, was doing the monthly ole blokes ride over our hills, with a stop at a neat country pub, but it seemed a little heavy in the front and was a bit of a shit in tight bends ... apparently one is recommended to run more than 13lb in the front ?
Haven't had this happen before, and being in a hurry, just gave the tyres a quick thumb push, which will not happen again !!!!!!!
