However, some motorcycles have a different shift pattern. The most usual is the 1st gear being shifted pushing the shifter downward, neutral in-between, and higher gears pulling the shifter. Most of the "cubs" have a "rotary" shift pattern. Some older versions of the Honda CG 125 which had only 4 gears, and their Chinese copies, have an inverted pattern with all the ascending shifts pushing the shifter downward and descending shifts upward.
So, usually the shift pattern is 1 - N - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
