Just up I think.

Yes just up all that's needed  :azn:

Wrong. Bet you've never ridden with a downshifter blipper have you? It's awesome. Allows deceleration on downshift without lever input upsetting the balance of the bike.
Significantly faster than you.....

So basically having quick shower and a down blipper makes a bike a semi automatic 🤔

Lord Danoir the first

But isn't that the point of manually blipping?

The technology is ace but most of what I enjoy about riding bikes is the skills I've learned and continue to learn. There's no skill in upshifting, but going down the gears going in to a corner is all about keeping the bike settled and it's a skill I enjoy practising.

It's like these paddle gearboxes on cars, they're amazing, but I've spent time learning to heal-toe and brake with my left foot and I'm loathed to let these skills go to waste...... even if it means having my arse handed to me by some playstationation scallywag

I brought my 765 RS after falling in love with the triple last year. Hired a 675 RX for the Scotland trip in 2018 and it was ace! Finally got round to a test ride in Janurary this year and picked up a cracking deal on a used 765RS in March. Took it on the Scotland trip this year and did 1206 miles in 4 days. It is, by far, the best road bike Ive ever had. Much more fun than litre sports bikes and more comfortable than my old gixer 750.

You wont be disappointed.

Just back from a jaunt to France and Spain, just shy 2400 miles in 10 days and I can still walk and no more aches than normally, still loving it  :azn:
