Best Answer

Some motorcycles actually do have a reverse gear. My dad has a BMW K1200LT cruiser that has one. I think for heavier bikes like cruisers it can come in handy. For lighter bikes it just isn't necessary.

Moreover it is extremely difficult to balance the bike driving backwards wthout using your legs
