2022 five speed. Sometimes I'll be accelerating in 2nd or 3rd, and then the bike "stutters" for a moment, and the GPI (gear position indicator) has gone blank, and clearly something in the transmission partially slipped out, but not all the way ... I don't know what's going on in there, lol. Also, occasionally it shifts 2nd to 2nd, or 3rd to 3rd ... probably because it is in the funky state I just mentioned. And the lever can still go down when in first, and up when in fifth, odd.

I think my Street Triple 765 had the "best feeling" click, however it was prone to slipping out of 3rd. Speed Triple 1200's transmission works perfect, but the click/feel is not as satisfying. What I mean is, I still haven't had the perfect transmission even on the more expensive machines.

If I am riding casual, it is well behaved. It's when I'm in a hurry with big revs and quicker shifts where it starts to do the funny things.

There's this guy on YT right now claiming his stock '22 Grom goes 72 mph on the freeway no problem. That's what a faired Suzuki 125 with 50% more power can do top speed ...
