Honda went to all the trouble of putting it on there, might as well use it.

People with some mechanical sensitivity.
I clutchless upshift when the conditions are right and my timing is on.
I only do it down enough to keep the skill alive in case I lose the clutch on a ride, it has happened before.
But having heard many stories about bent selectors and new false neutrals from bad changes, or more likely many bad changes I also choose to use a clutch.
Pretty much the only benefit out clutchless shifting is a shorter smoother upshift when getting a hustle on but only if your timing is good.
I don't get why people get their knickers in such a bunch about a skill that is just a preference.

As one who depends on my bikes and tends to own them for 5+ years at a time the reliability of my bike is way more important than the wank factor of saving a nanosecond on my shifts.

Dont try focus too much on it can get to be obession
well did in my case when way back.
Even few years ago and been riding bike with very long break
since was 15 . yrs old .even know i can stand on back brake
in emergcy stop. like when some ran out on pedestion stop.
Just a bad habit of mine
really for quick answer dont focus on gear changing down.
and think about using front brake and rear just less and less.
with torque the engine , braking as well gone to lock any motorcyle back well.
probley only diffrece becuase harley is alot more wieght.
and you have more transfer moving forward when braking.
plus more front fork moment too .
just leave more time and distance to the corner or intersection its not a competion.
you dont have to dl to first before a stop . just click down or up from second .
Id just practice slowing down with front brake and just tiny bit rear if you want get used to that .
if getting you down and your becoming fearfull do a motorcycle training course
they dont have to be expesive . i did and really enjoyed it and learned alot.
never to old to learn. and confidence you get be a asset.
In not saying I can't do it.
I am saying I only do it when it benefits me and I am secure enough in my penis size / ego to tell others it's not the end of the world if they don't.
If you ride often enough there will be times when your timing is just not what it should be.
On the road there is not enough benefit for you to be suggesting you are a better rider because you do it.
I haven't seen you ride for as least 6 years and even then you were a passenger or in a car more often than riding so I won't cast judgement about who is the better rider.

You can drop the attitude for a start?
In my opinion clutchless shifting well does make you a better rider and has plenty of benefit on the street, as opposed to losing power on a slow clutch shift. in my opinion its alot harder to master a quick clutched shift in regards to getting it right every time than a non clutched shift.
To each their own.
Never said you couldn't do it, never claimed to be a god among mortals. So there is no need for the attitude as none was intended from me it's just how i talk....
My penis size is actually very uncomfortable i think i need a seat with a groove sculpted in it.
