Sure- a hardcore sport bike might- especially at a track... but this?
Quick-shifters (QS) are not about sporty riding anymore, they are about smooth and effortless riding. The name is a bit of a misnomer really, it should just read "clutchless shifter". On a busily geared European road you can be changing gear all the time, e.g. the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland and all our small busy towns and villages. Constant gearchanges can be tiresome on the clutch. The QS makes changing gear a delight, most auto blip on the downshift too for a smooth transition. They are very pillion friendly also. My Tiger is the first bike I had with one and I felt the same way as you but I wouldn't buy a long distance bike without one now they are so good. I recently made a video of the top five day to day items that I liked on my Tiger, the QS was no1.
