Most motorcycles do not have a reverse gear. Exceptions are some trikes and sidecar combinations.

Examples:

Motorcycle: Honda Goldwing - electric reverse

Sidecar: Ural - mechanical reverse

Three wheel: Bombardier Spyder - mechanical reverse

Some Harley trike conversions offer an option to add mechanical reverse.

Some engines have been known to run in reverse unintentionally. This can happen with single cylinder or two cylinder engines (usually two stroke) with misadjusted ignition timing. When that happens, the bike will indeed go backwards.
