Sounds to me like the tranny is gone...Your reverse gears are the last to go. You can try some of the Transmission Medic Fluids they have out....but it wont repair what is already gone it just might help you get it to the shop or the junk yard!

Why a bike cant drive in reverse dirn?

Becuase it does not have a reverse gear; reverse gear in a gearbox requires more cogs and drives so it makes the gear box alot more heavier than it needs to be. A bike is meant to be moveable by 'hands & feet'. In the early days (and in some military applications) some combinations (motorcycle & side car) did have a reverse gear; the old German BMW combo also had a drive shaft to the third wheel under the side car.

Where can you find a diagram of the drive belt on a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2?

The original question asked about a "Chevy Escort." Ford makes the Escort. A car like that should have a map underneath the hood showing how to route the belt. If not, then you need to go to a car parts store and get a repair manual. They cost about $16.59. Or go to a public library.
