Bike trannies are sequential. Therefore, no matter how you arrange the mechanism- even a column shift- will be sequential... Like it or not!
i should have elaborated a bit.
sequential transmisison as in what heavy race car users have.
the shifter with the motion of "up up up down down"
i always thought the hondas that autoX with those types of trannies are sweet. they make a high pitch screaming sound
ie....granted this is a bmw lulz
