On a normal motorcycle, what will you use to change gear?

Explanation:
Gear changes on a standard manual motorcycle are done with the left foot using the gear shift lever on the left side of the bike. You press the lever with your foot to move through the gears, and you coordinate this with the clutch, which is operated by the left-hand lever to disengage and re-engage the engine as you shift. The right hand handles throttle and the front brake, while the right foot controls the rear brake. There isn’t a clutch pedal on motorcycles—the clutch is a hand lever, not a pedal. So the gear-change action is done with the left foot.
