Default rough gear changes

I test rode a vtx1800, vtx1300and a yamaha stratoliner today, and the main thing I came away with was, our transmissions are rough as hell.
All of these bikes shifted very smooth and my c50 pretty much clunks into every gear and I periodically find false neutrals (between third and fourth, or fourth and fifth).
Is this common for our bikes or does mine need some help?
has anyone found anything that smooths out shifts on our bikes?
