You don't have to use the clutch, I never use my clutch going up the gears on my bike, but usually do going down as it can get a bit jerky.
If you're caning it, you can just lightly press your foot against the gear selector, shut off slightly and in it goes. Makes you feel like a MotoGP hero!

I wouldn't recommend that to a learner it's actually quite bad for the gears. and in answer to your q beau, yes they do. Unless you buy a honda 50, they have a clutchless gear system. And they aren't bloody mopeds. A moped has pedals!!!!!!!! it's a 50cc motorcycle dammit!!!!
Your best bet is to go on some private land and try a mates geared bike. If you get the hang of it pretty quick then get a bike. If it makes your head hurt buy a scooter. It really is that simple.

oh, chances are you can only do your cbt on a scooter, so you will need to practise on private land before you try and tackle a geared bike on the road.

Infact just read that post again!!!!! You should never clutchless change down your gears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a recipe for disaster! it causes premature wear of the gear dogs and can seriously de-stabilise a bike. moto gp riders use clutcheless changes as:
They have slipper clutches that absorb the force and stop the back end shimmying,
they're engines are often rebuilt after each race and therefore it only has to last a race.
Be sensible, don't give learners bad habits that can kill them!!!!

i doubt il get one, insurance seems too much to bother
49cc scooters are rev and go, no clutch so works like an automatic
