Re: Quick shift
this is exactly what a race quick shifter does, as fitted to every World Superbike, MotoGP and many others.
Only difference is that it does this electronically using a pressure sensetive switch built into the gear shift linkage. The moment that you attempt to move the lever it kills the ignition for a predetermined duration taking the load off the gearbox.
As long as you are not clumsy with it, after a bit of practice it is pretty easy to do on upshifts. Continue to use the clutch on downshifts though or you'll lock your rear wheel into a slide if you're not careful or maybe even over rev the engine to the point of breaking it.
