Quick Shift seems expensive

[papanorm]

I asked my dealer for the cost of a Triumph Quick Shift $563 parts, $20 for shop supplies , $202 labor.
Ouch! I'll need to save my nickels.

If it came with it, it wouldn't bother me but for street riding, it's a complete waste of (that kind of) money IMHO.
I prefer the mechanical interaction at the cost of a few milliseconds when riding on public roads.

I guess I just don't know what I'm missing and don't plan on spending all that $$$ to find out. Call me old fashioned, but I enjoy the process of shifting and downshifting.

It's spendy but fun, though somewhat less smooth than on the Tiger. The main reason I like it is mid-corner shifting (if needed) doesn't upset the bike anywhere near how manual shifting does. Day-to-day I swap between using it and not using it, based on the situation.

My dealer did not have the part in stock when I bough the bike 2 days ago but it will be added at my 600mi service. I have read just about every opinion on this here and watched some yt videos. I'm getting it because it's nice to have the choice for certain situations.

I find it really nice when you are doing quick passes of cars on a single lane highway. Plus its fun ! Its a Rocket nothing on this bike is supposed to be reasonable !

It’s fun and that’s what biking is all about. It came stock on my bike but it is a nice option to have.

seems like mine cost $300 something total when I bought the GT new. Much more expensive now. But even at that price I would for sure get it. One of the best bang for the buck additions I have made on the Rocket. Pure fun, and that is why I ride, fun.

If it fits in the "puts a smile on your face" category and you want it- go for it! I usually do....

It puts a smile on your face with putting along in traffic as well, at least for a lazy person like me who likes not needing the clutch except when stopped.
