Like a mountain bike, on the left grip it's thumb for upchanges and forefinger to change down. No need to drop the revs either.
There is also a traditional gear pedal, for which you do have to slacken the revs (never used it). It also rides as fully automatic. There are four gear modes to choose from when you switch on: Touring; Sport; Sport gear and Rain.
