    Well, the Sprint engine is basically the same as the Daytona engine,
which gets the direct shifter as standard.

    I hadn't thought of the addition of non-rotational forces in that
way.  The worry I would have is that of dropping the bike and instead of
the shift linkage breaking, the shift shaft does nasty things to the
gearbox internals.  But presumably the gear lever is designed to be the
weak link.
