A bikes gearbox is what is called Sequential, in that to get from 5th to 2nd, say you have to go through each gear ins equence, where as a car, you can select any gear from the outset. For this to happen the gearbox is made up differently and the selector etc move in a different pattern.
Never having a gearbox apart, car or bike, i would assume that the bikes is a single gear shaft, and the cars, 2?? (Not sure on this)
As for changing, well, up for me is almost natural, down, well that take some doing, and can break the box and not advised!
