It's about upshifting coming out of the curves... not IN them. You're hanging way off to conserve lean angle coming out of the turn and need to be able to click them off when you run out of revs, from both sides of the bike.

Yes, it's my opinion. But I still haven't heard anyone who has tried both methods point out something standard shift has over gp shift... except the fact that most bikes come that way.

If you need to upshift at the point where you are leaned over so far that a foot couldn't be put under the gear shifiter, then A) You went into the corner in a wrong gear, or B) you put squids like say, Valentino Rossi, to shame on a daily basis
