we talked about switching to GP shift for my CBR, but considering how much I ride (well, how much I usually ride.... this season has been a waste) on the street with regular shifting... we didn't want to chance having those 'wait, wtf am I doing' moments on the track.

I run standard shift.  I've tried the reverse shift multiple times over the years and just could never get my head around it.

I went out on the 500 with standard shift, you talk about having a lot of whoa moments.

I prefer GP shift myself because it's easier on the starts and that's what I'm just used to now.

LOL...  I got to know the T1 gravel trap at Road America last time I tried GP...

yess'm.
it's easier to pivot your foot when the peg is on the ball.
howevs, your outside foot in a corner can be more into the arch as to kinda 'stomp' the peg down to weight it when trying to stand it back up.

I don't have a street bike, but if I did I would run it GP shift as well. It's really not that bad once you get used to it. I won't switch back unless there's no possible way to make it GP pattern.

I'm to scared of up shifting when I mean to downshift. Not so much a problem on the street, but if I get it wrong on the track... yikes. I think an upshift at 15.5k RPM could be bad.
