Question:

What Motorcycle had the left Brake and Right Shift?

we are looking at verious bikes but I dont want to relearn Braking, Im an old dog and new tricks are for me very difacult.

Answer:

Early sporties, most English bikes, a few Italian bikes as well. Couple Japanese small models had a through the tranny shift lever- could be right or left shift lever that way for various markets- mid 1960s Yamaha 80cc comes to mind. Kawasaki or Marushu later Kaw 650 twin copy of BSA had right shift. Currently? Maybe a Italian domestic model somewhat smaller based on Duc 250, 350 single? Indian Enfield classic bullet for domestic market- was article about the new 535 for US market getting shift lever switched for the American market- but 'Domestic' tranny available on special order, couple demonstrators brought in with right side shift, left side brake using the 'domestic' tranny. German motorcycles had a few small models with right side shift- but BMW, DKW were left shift, right brake, so were the NSU and later MZs from east-- but a Steyr model had right shift, might have been a English license originally or meant for English market.
British bikes , Triumph ,BSA , were set up like that and so were Harley Davidson Sportsters until 1974. 74 is when the US government mandated all motorcycles have right side rear brake pedal and left side gear shift.
