I'd describe like this: If I let the engine RPM drop below 3k when I shift into 2nd I'll get a singe crunch into gear (similar to standing-still neutral into 1st). If I'm racing it hard, nearing red-line territory, into 2nd gear it sounds like it's taking a few 2-3 teeth to engage. I don't know motorcycle transmission very well but in an automotive transmission I'd equate that to wearing synchros.
I wonder if one of those ignition-cutting race shifters might be worthwhile?
