Coasting is good for ecomomy and driving without brakes is another way of saying you anticipated the road and used only enough gas to coast up to the next stop. Which is also a form of PnG around town. Coasting will not hurt the clutch even though it is utilizing the throw out bearing more than usual. Pulse and Glide works. More so on a bike like my Ninja250 which has ridiculously low gearing. At least then it isn't spinning 9,000 rpm all of the time you are droning down the highway. It is good for about 15% on that bike. Less for the CBR250R which has longer gearing than stock.
