I believe all manual transmissions use dog teeth since shifting is done by engaging a gear through sliding collars splined to an input/output shaft.
All manual transmissions (that I know of) are designed to be used with a clutch. Motorcycle transmissions usually don't use synchros, so technically the driver must double clutch when deccelerating. I don't know why motorcycle transmissions are more forgiving, but since double-clutching is a pain, most just shift higher gears clutchless (which increases wear).
