Aprilia is using the seamless gearbox technology from zeroshift in their Motogp bikes. They also have signed a license that allows them to go into production with the seamless gearbox, and I assume put into the RSV4 and Tuono V4. The technology doesn't look extremely complicated or costly. Anyone want to hazard a guess how long before the seamless box is available in production? Do you think it requires auto blipping for smooth downshifts? Do you think Aprilia will make the box retrofit the older bikes as a kit? Nothing wrong with the standard box in my Factory, but the idea of seamless and clutchless shifts is very cool.
