Seems pointless unless you are a pro.

It might seem that way, but a lot of guys try it and like it. However, it's difficult to go back to a "regular" bike after you've been riding one with GP shift for a long time. Just ask DLIT.

I use it, I like it. It's good for track because when you are upshifting out of a corner it is much easier to press down than reach under and pull up. Especially in a left turn where you might not have the clearance to reach under.

infact when first learning how to shift i had to remember to pull up to go fast (next gear)

Like it as a preference or like it because there is some advantage?

If there is something I am missing please let me know.........
