Not once person has even done some 1/4 runs, then gone back with different gearing and even casually compared the times? Or maybe timed themselves in 0-60 and tried again later on after the gearing was changed? I am not looking for magazine-quality scientific tests, just at least some anecdotal...

On my 250r, I use the clutch to shift from 1st to 2nd at like 5mph just so I can get it out of the way, then I go all the way up to 6th and even back down to 1st without the clutch. My lever won't reset after a clutchless 1>2 shift if I am going faster than maybe 10mph, though (dunno why)...

I have searched a good bit and completely understand the potential benefits of lowered final drive gearing regarding how a bike accelerates and whatnot, but has anyone done any direct comparisons in performance numbers? Not power, obviously, like 0-60, 0-100, 50-100, 1/4 mile etc? I'm just...
