I love GP shift. I messed up once the day I switched and almost highsided myself to the moon in turn 9 on Summit Main. Once I learned though it was worth it.
GP Shift - Pros Cons?

one of the things I used to think of to remember the swap was how you sit upright to downshift, you can thing of an exagerated version where you lean back and pull up on the shifter. When you're going down a straight, youre tucked forward and its much easier to push down on the shifter.
eta: you want cons too....the only one is the poorly timed down-shift mistake. But thats only a mistake in getting used to the swap. Once you get it down, IMHO there ARE no cons.

I have GP on my GSXR and standard on my R1, both used on the track...sometimes on the same day. I have a sign on the triple clamps to remind me which is which but haven't screwed up so far. By the way, the GSXR has GP shift with a quick shifter....this is the way to go IMHO. Just tap the shifter in any situation and grab a gear..no fuss no muss.
