    Yeah bike change gear, but a bit different to cars.

    Unlike the clutch been on your left foot, on a bike it operated by your left hand. The gear lever is on your left foot rest.

    Most modern street bike use a 1 down 5 up system.

    This means to go into first gear, you tread down on the gear lever, to change up you hook your boots under the lever a click the bike up a gear.

    Almost every race bike these days uses the reverse patten method (just what i wrote above but backwards ! ) , and dont use the clutch to change up gears. They use a “quick shifter” that kills the bikes ignition system for a few mili seconds and engages the gear quicker the a human can. Might sound silly but a track were you make 40 gear changes, if the bike can change gear one / tenth of a second quicker then you, you will will gain valuble seconds on a track.

    Hope this [ long !! ] answer helps you out.

    Dude.

    Motorbikes do have to switch gears if you stay in one gear for to long and stay like that that’s a bad idea=( motor bikes have a clutch on the left side with the gears in the bottom.

    yes bikes have gears and they need to change gears to go faster just like a car. but they do it differently since some cars are automatic.
