I’m curious to why motorcycles essentially gear upwards from neutral to 1st. Then gear in the shifter down from 1st into 2nd, then 3rd and so on.
How do motorcyclists get back into neutral too? When gearing down from 2nd does it hit neutral before 1st?(and the gearbox just ignores neutral when upshifting?)

Pretty sure it’s to avoid accidentally shifting into 2nd or 3rd from the start.
Neutral is pretty much ignored, the gearbox doesn’t really care if you go into neutral for a sec when shifting between really anything. Shifting from any gear into neutral is also pretty safe.
