Off the road for 8 years? I'd be wondering what state your clutch is in (and indeed, clutch adjustment) (Was the old oil left in the bike while it were laid up, or was it drained?).
How old and what state is your chain in, and is it tensioned properly?
Mine is clunky in 1st / 2nd mostly (they all do it, and some Hondas are clunky too), and I tend to treat my gearbox sympathetically and it's mostly OK in the other gears.
Technique does make some difference; if you're rushing gearchanges, that won't help either.
