It really is a lot faster and smoother than pretending you are driving an old dodge with a three on the tree.

But it is really hard for people to get over their fears of NOT using the clutch on a bike. It's a little kookie in fact, but something cyclists *should* understand better than they do, generally.
how do you know there is no syncro in my bike ?

a tractor do not have syncro and we can hear it if we shift too fast

But i agree that we can shift easyli without clutching on a motorcycle , just relase the gas a little and push the lever on the next gear ....

But im not sure about the fact that it wont domage anything . IT will be violent to shift at 9k ...poor chain .
