My boys didn't get the chance to learn to ride until they were about 20, so they learned on my Suzuki VX800. by then, they were already familiar with the clutch in my pickup with the 5 speed.

Hey may not have a lot of riding experience, but unlike us old folks, kids pick stuff up a lot quicker. I learned to ride at about the same age as he did, full manual transmission, on a 1988 cr125r - a 2 stroke. I went from not knowing what a clutch or a shifter was to ripping around pretty good in the same day. I had good instruction from my uncle, who owned the bike, and started off with a lot of the same basic stuff they teach in the MSF Course for new riders. learning the controls, finding where the clutch engagement was, walking the bike with the clutch, a bit of scooting around in first, then working on first to second gear and back, slow turns etc. I was never the same since
In regards to the other comments about most pit bikes having a N-1-2-3-4 pattern. This is true, but there are a few out there that have the 1-N-2-3-4. This is one of them.
