As to me mentioning pushing the bike..
I don't often give it full stick in second but it happens. Like when you want to overtake quickly, or get on the highway...Or when you feel like just giving it some on a straight. The reason i mention 'pushing it to the limit' is because it only skips when i give it more or less full throttle. I agree with you that one shouldn't be pushing a bike too often to it's limits on the public road though. But sometimes lessons need to be learned.
I don't really find it hard to imagine when torque is at it's highest, the gears skip over a worn/damged/chipped tooth in second. I know this is simplified but it's what it comes down to right? Why would i feel that problem constantly?

The bike runs perfectly for the rest of the time. It still goes 160mph+ on the speedometer (no flaming for testing this please).
