Default Random clutch travel question

On the 50cc MT50 I had 8000 years ago, and on the 125 on the morning of my DAS, I remember both had clutches a lot like car's in terms of the amount of travel between bite and full on.

On the 500's this is a lot lot less, and I know the same is true on my mates gixxer.

Is this the norm for bigger bikes? Or dependant individual settings? Any particular reasons why?

Just curious.

Why is it so much short for bigger bikes?

spring are very strong on big bikes, so the ratio of lever movement is diffrent so a large movement in the lever moves very little in the clutch but makes it feal light
