While riding the street, I always want to be in the relative gear for my rolling speed. When you want to go, there just is no substitute for "already" being in the proper gear to give the bike the inputs you want. Fumbling around to find the proper gear takes valuable time and attention that I would rather spend on other things. On the track, especially while coaching... I will get lazy and not shift as much and just depend on roll on power of my r6. I can't really do that on the 250, so it's back to business as usual of gear relative to speed.
Don't be hard on yourself. There are so many variants of downshifting while braking (even from the pro's). As long as it's not causing problems, your smooth about it and reaching your goals, who cares...
