I change up clutchlessly but not always. I did read an interview a while back with a  rider in a bike magazine who said he always used the clutch, but a colleague who did not wrecked 2 bike gearboxes in 2 years.

Speak for yourself matey. A more impressive skill is controlling the throttle with your left hand whilst warming your right hand on the engine... Don't try this at home kids

I generally only use the clutch 1st to 2nd (sometimes not even then on some bikes) then upshift clutchless. Smoother and more natural for me. Works on all bikes I ride.
