My bikes were Japanese 1 down, 4 or 5 up. I also regularly road my neighbors Triumph X-75 Hurricane, which was 1 down 3 up, but on the right side. This occasionally led to a downshift when I would go for the brake pedal.
This is now a bit more confusing, as the '72 Kawasaki H2 I picked up a couple years ago is different from my Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha's. It's the first one where neutral is down, not between 1st and 2nd. I guess you could accidentally hit neutral when down shifting, but haven't done it yet.
