The reason why you have the intermittent pause in throttle or torque is to allow the dog gears not synchromesh gears (as in a car) to engage.

Basically that's the reason why there is no grinding of gears on a bike because there are no synchromesh gears to grind, the gears just go to the next gear.

The synchromesh gears just match rpm's of the next gears "gears" prior to the engagement. There basically a clutch for the gears themselves.
