For safety precautions.
Park and neutral
Assuming we are talking automatic transmissions, you would use park or neutral to start the engine but neither one are gears.
Bad or "jumped" neutral safety switch
It is the mechanism that prevents your vehicle to start out of gear, other than park or neutral.

Either your gears are not locking at the start or you are in park or neutral or emergency brake on.
depending on the bike and surface you can start in 1st, 2nd and 3rd but most common gear to use is 2nd gear
Of course! As long as the clutch is depressed. It well start in any gear. You just won't have enough rpm's in the other gears to keep it running. Unless you the the engine before you release the clutch. I don't suggest doing so if you are an unexperienced driver.

Your neutral safety switch has a problem, could just be dirty. Take it off and inspect it for damage, it is pricey to replace so try this first.
Usually when a car has issues moving from park or neutral it is an early sign that the transmission has gone out. The transmission is responsible for helping the vehicle change gears and move.
