My Speed Twin, wife's Speedmaster and the Rocket all have great transmissions. The R3 is smooth as butter and so easy to find N.

My tiger 850 s shifts better than my 800 did and that saying a lot but the 800 found neutral easily . The Thruxton gear box is amazing , more like a 300 cc twin than a 1200 .

My Tiger 1200 shifts beautifully as well. Never an issue finding neutral.
Title of this video a bit misleading. Maybe if they(the green bikes), built a better transmission they wouldn't have to put the centrifugal bearings in there to aid finding neutral. Less moving parts in a transmission, the better.

Seems good to me. Impossible not to find neutral is better than easy to find it. Standing next to bike flicking with boot is not same as sitting on it. And 100% sureness of being in neutral at a light is good.
