[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 697739, member: 5925"] I like a RMVB because : If I want to [u]upshift[/u] (which is what I usually do, ie : start from 1st then upshift), I know I have to [u]pull[/u] If something goes wrong and I want [u]reverse[/u], I just have to [u]push[/u] all the way forward on the shifter and it will stop moving in Reverse, from any forward gear. I rode with a FMVB a bunch of times and I don't like it. When trying to upshift, I always fear that I will overshoot and hit Reverse while going full throttle uphill. That would suck. This is why I don't like FMVB and I don't like gated shifters like the ArtCarr ones. Muscle memory is awesome once trained well and this is how I trained mine : Upshift = Pull, Reverse = Push. Can't miss it. And if you have a tigger type shifter, you can go even further. With the trigger, you can set it up so it's impossible to over shoot a gear when upshifting but still retain the ability to go to Reverse at any moment. @redneckengineering : A B&M trigger type shifter or just removing the gates on one end of the shifter would solve her issues with finding reverse.
