Should a motorcycle start in 1st gear or 2nd gear?

[VanMila]

First gear is the most powerful yet slowest gear on a motorcycle. When starting in first gear, the engine RPM rises rapidly, requiring a timely shift to second gear to prevent significant engine damage. Sequential shifting: Motorcycles primarily use two types of gear systems: sequential shifting and international shifting. Sequential shifting is commonly found in small-displacement engines and pushrod engines, while international shifting is predominantly used in larger-displacement engines and chain-driven engines. Sequential shifting cycles repeatedly between neutral and 4th or 5th gear. International shifting: An increasing number of motorcycles now adopt international shifting. Its neutral position is located between first and second gear, with half-gear gaps on either side. First gear is engaged by pressing down, while gears two through five are engaged by lifting up.
