with that i am in total agreement. can't say the same for the Z... how does the paddles feel? I notice with a lot of paddles they feel uhh sloppy....

I know with the is250 if you use the paddles it'll cause the shifter to not shift and vice versa for a split second. you can pop the paddle twice for a double down shift or double up shift or whatever (i usually like to smash to cruising speed then shift up to an over drive) but can't do like double shift 1 gear on padal and 1 on the shifter... then again I'm giving you the benefit of doubt you aren't an amateur who's shifting and won't upshift just to downshift... and haven't tried that on the 350 yet. babying it as it's only about 3000km and dont want to be too rough on it.

turned off my SRM to practice again and let me say holy crap I am terrible. I didnt bother practice downshifting since my upshifting has been sloppy. It went back on after a few rought shifts for the sake of my neck and my tranny and clutch....
