I agree with SOP, I have another bike and want to be able to hop on any bike and ride it instinctively.

I change all my road bikes to 'race shift' simply so it doesnt become a memory thing about which bike I'm on.

I race a Yamaha R1 superbike and dont fancy a miss shift in the heat of battle so to speak becasue of having to remember to use a certain shift pattern.

On the 14 its a simple case of flipping the selector arm through 180 degrees, two minutes work.

I changed mine over to the GP pattern a few days ago (3/18/2012) and I've decided that I'm going to keep it.  ;D
