I take it if you were gonna buy a new boxer Freck then you wouldn’t bother selecting the 400 quid quick-shifter.
I kinda think, after trying a couple of bikes with quick shifters, well it kinda takes away from the skill of riding the bike. Also the BMW has an auto blipper, I tried it, braking approaching a corner with the throttle closed I press the gear lever down, and yeah it changed down but it was far from smooth. I tried it a second time, and well frankly that was it, it just felt like eventually it damage the gearbox.
Oh embarrassing moment in the show room. I asked them about the led that kept blinking at me all the time. The sales person didn’t know, so asked one of the younger more techie knowledgeable staff, he replied – ‘Oh that’s it telling you to change up gear’. Ooops.
