Anything after say 15 mph on this bike just feels ridiculously smooth and easy to ride. Ride ability factor 10/10. It’s actually scary b/c anyone with 6 months on a Ninja 300 could hop on and have major confidence.

I mean, it felt fine.

No one knows yet.

You can hold the throttle and let it rev down slower and downshift clutch less to learn where along the rev band it down shifts smoothly. I generally blip it while downshifting since I understand where along the rev band it down shifts down smoothly, I feel it’s more fun and fast that way.

Yep, the shop is on Lambert. I live close by. They have a great demo route because you get a little of everything.

@@poit444 yea I live off diamond bar blvd. up the hill from that arco. And would take Toner Canyon every single night over the fwy. It’s a lot of fun right before parking it for the night 😂

Yes, definitely, but I felt even more so on the Streetfighter (video from last week). I was a bit more skittish on the Panigale. Smooth, even delivery from the engine makes it nice and easy.

Hiiii .. which bike do you ride ? ^^

@@topfitnessssss 2017 Triumph Speed Triple S, also Thruxton R 1200

100 percent. It’s easy.

Not at all. It does like a little rev match and it's really cool because in that half second you can hear all that going on while your wrist doesn't move.

@@poit444 ok gotcha... seems so much easier. thanks keep up the good vids.

You have to be on the throttle to gear up and you have to be off the throttle to gear down. Or at least that's how it works on my 2021 Ducati Monster 937.

Absolutely nothing,that’s the idea of a quick shifter.

Not like a dual clutch. But the Quickshifter ties into the ignition system so it automatically slightly drops the rpm's when you put upward pressure on the shift lever to shift up. And blips the throttle slightly when you press down for downshift. But some bikes apparently only have quickshift-up, not down.

@@deanb6163 yep I'm aware of that but I still haven't found the answer to my question

@@deanb6163 Some bikes only have up and not down is because not all motorcycles throttles are fly by wire. Meaning they are cable throttles and the bike can’t auto blip the throttle for you in order to allow for a seamless downshift. Hence why they are called blipper functionality on the kits that support those bikes. You can get mechanical kits so it is possible but a lot more work and trouble than it’s worth honestly!

@@pointbreak24 Not really like a dual clutch but you only need to use the clutch to start and stop.

Nope, you can keep it open both up and down

No, you rev it...

Haha damn sky snakes too. I didn’t think of that until just now and heck yeah there’s a lot. Brea Canyon, Ca.

LOL, that is a ridiculous amount of snakes on the ground

How you wanna start rolling 😂

lIIIlllIlllIlllIIIIlIllIlIllII lmaoo 💀😂😂

Lmao bro said don’t judge 🤣

He prolly just runnin through the gears my man I’m sure he knows he doesn’t have it revved out

thats why they call him captain shortshifter

Would be so nice

🤔 I say no because it would stall at starting and stopping since it’s not an automatic transmission.

Very bad idea. QS doesn’t replace the clutch.

I still listen to records, sometimes. Love that quickshifter!

There are plenty of automatic motorcycle models like Honda’s Africa Twin. The quickshifter is more for racing as the technology utilizes the throttle meaning you can keep it wide open. There’s not many public places to use the V4 QS, but it’s fun to play with on the streets.

is it OK to down shift without damaging your gear box? I keep hearing it's hard on the gear box

@@dieseldavis3930 I don't believe so. The QS device and auto blipper for downshifting maximizes the shifting that you'd be doing without them. It's all done in milliseconds and with precision. The creator of one popular quick shifter model states that a properly set up QS is actually less damaging since with a clutch there is still slight drag inside the gearbox.
