It is a quirk in more than a few bikes. Completely normal. As Alantf suggested, be sure to down shift progressively while slowing and be in 1st gear a wee bit before coming to a full stop.
Oh, and you will likely never go over the bars by gearing down. LOL.
Fun Fact. A fairly large % of Honda 250 Rebels will not go into 1st until you stop. Then you push down on the shifter(clutch in)and shut off the engine. Clunk into gear it goes. Neat huh??
