You should learn downshifting and rev match at some points on your route/destination. It makes your driving easier in some circumstances. I think driving stick is more about timing, so use the time to learn how to downshift and rev match.
On a motorcycle it is always a good idea to stay in a gear that is compatible with the speed you are traveling, this allows you to stay in the 'power' level you may or may not need at any certain time. If you are in a higher gear while slowing the reaction time is minimal and you're already at a disadvantage being on a motorcycle to begin with.
motorcycles shift differently than cars, you can not select what gear you're going into. you can only upshift to 6, downshift to 4. etc you can pull the clutch in at any speed, coast to a stop (with braking) and then shift, or you can engine brake and downshift, let the engine rev down and downshift again to a stop, or you can do both, clutch in, downshift coast a ways, while braking. clutch out downshift, coast a ways while braking. it's all really complex, and alot easier to do than it sounds. just practice, get the feel for it. brake on the right, clutch on the left, foot brake on the right, shifter on the left. be gentle with the throttle till you know what you're doing.
