765 The Truth About The Triple 765 Quickshifter?

By what you have written above it sounds like you pretty much have it sussed, I use mine in much the same way and it changes smoothly pretty much whatever revs I am using, in town I use the clutch for the same reasons as you and also because if you use QS you tend to make too rapid progress compared to the rest of the traffic that doesn't have it!
I had one on my old 675R and that was me pretty much hooked, wouldn't want a bike without one now, I must say though I would like the auto blipper down shift that the new Speed Triple has, I expect it will be on next years Street RS so they can justify putting the price up!

 

I use the QS on mine pretty much all the time, although like you have noticed first to second isn't quite as smooth so use the clutch around town.

 

Didn’t use it at all for the first 250 odd miles, now for me it’s mostly a motorway overtake tool. I live in Aberdeen where traffic is a Cnut, constant stop start so the QS is wasted...until the open roads where I stick to the speed limits at all times..
Open road, track mode...QS....oh my..

 

Had a 675R loan bike and enjoyed using it (although I'm by no means a particularly fast or skilled rider).
The new Tiger 1200 I tested had one fitted with the auto-blip down-change - not sure it's necessary on a Tiger but still good fun.

 

I view quickshifters suspiciously as being for people with limp ankles

......and a dim understanding of constant mesh gearboxes, sequential selection and synchromesh superfluity...... I have a limp language!

 

I.e. a fun but less than essential gadget.....

 

Sums it up.

 

Bit how I view the bike itself!

 

I can see the point on a track bike but you should be able to do clutchless upshifts anyway - not that I can but all the journos say they do them all the time.

Clutchless upshifts without a quick shifter mean shutting the throttle, with a QS you don't, therefore faster as less loss of drive ... simples!

 

Love my QS would hate to have a bike without one now, Saying that not essential and I do avoid the 1st to 2nd change on the QS - mostly .
