Before you all jump on the short shifter bandwagon, consider this:

I drove a "short shifter" Tiger a few years back, and it quickly became 
apparent why they changed to the long shifter.  For me anyway, the short one 
was just too far down for comfortable operation.  I have the seat most of the 
way forward, and even with that, I had to lean a bit to reach the whole pattern.

So try shifting by grabbing the standard shifter about half way down a few 
times, and see how that feels.  The short one may look cool, but is 
uncomfortable operation worth it?
