Many motorcyclists believe that match revving and down shifting through each gear as they slow down is crucial for proper riding technique. I was berated on the CBR250R site when I tried to tell them to do the same thing with the shifter but just don't bother with the throttle blipping and clutch letting until if and when it comes time to accelerate again. But they like the noise. rrr, rrr, rrr, rrrrrrr. Look at me. I'm sooo cool. Some kind of sound therapy I guess. Too bad the cruiser riders will all go deaf from riding in half lids with no hearing protection.
