Switching switches?

[Capo]

To top all this off, I have two British vintage bikes that I ride a lot and they have the shifter on the right side. More than once I've stomped the shifter for the brake
But it doesn't take too long before my mind switches over and I don't have any problem. I expect that in time that may be the case with the CB.

I share this challenge, and it becomes especially troubling when I ride a left and a right shift bike on the same day. My Moto Morini 175 has experienced some pain due to this.

But the point that Ferret makes about looking down at the switch and taking your eyes off the road is very real. It's a reflexive thing and I think Honda has really gotten it wrong with the new switch, which seems to be spreading across their model line.
