PS.
I was using some PnG but it is not necessarily overtly noticeable or obtrusive on the road. It can be largely just a matter of anticipating stop signs and down hill sections and approaching curves and pulling in the clutch. Rather than engine braking every gear, I coast with the clutch in and click down through the gears the same way but just don't let out the clutch each time. It also helps to have a bike that makes usable power down low. Once you try it, PnG quickly becomes a habit that is hard to stop. The super easy clutch pull of the CBR250R also helps make it easy to get great numbers.
