1st, 2nd, 3rd gear, and it should go back to Neutral after 3rd, or before 1st.
Is so for the older Yamaha's, and Hondas.
The Yamaha V50-V90,
Honda Super Club (C65-C110), as well as the newer model (C125).

Now they all use a 4-speed gearbox.

I like their centrifugal clutches (when the engine is idling, it doesn't shoot forward, like on any scooter).
It also doesn't suffer from CVT losses, so gets better gas mileage

Even though I'm not totally unfavorable to a CVT, the semi-automatic gearbox still seems reliable enough to justify its use in the Cub and derived models which have a more utilitarian approach.
