Honda CB190r first gear question

Hi,

I was trying a cb190 yesterday, I haven't ridden motorcycle a lot, only scooters, and when I was riding it in first gear, with the clutch fully depressed, and with the throttle not engaged, when I started to slowly pull the throttle the bike would hiccup a bit, wasn't accelerating smoothly.

If if press the clutch a bit, and accelerate while releasing the clutch it would be fine. But as I remember from the bikes I rode before, none had this problem.

Is this an issue with the bike? Or I just should be more in sync with releasing my clutch and accelerating?

Thanks!

I used to have a cb190r and I just slipped the clutch and pulled the throttle and she went. No weird stuff.
