Most motorcycles have never been heavy enough to need one. Another reason is no body parked their bike with the nose downhill, because the side stand can fold up, causing the bike to fall over. Then along came Honda, with their late model Goldwings. They are very heavy and yes they have a reverse. You put the bike in reverse and hit the starter button and it backs up. There is also a aftermarket transmission housing that can be added to some bikes, such as Harleys, when they are converted to Trikes. This housing adds a reverse gear to the transmission. I think it not required for a bike. If we want to move bike back side we can do it with help of our legs or we can easily handle it in moving back side also, where as for 3 or 4 wheelers it's not possible.

Where can you find an aftermarket reverse kit for a 1982 Honda motorcycle?
There are some companies out there that sell and even install reverse gear they say fit different kinds of motorcycles including Hondas but it is almost exclusively for owners who want to change a bike into a trike. There are lots of aftermarket reverese gear kits available for Harley Davidson motorcycles but then again, some Harleys were designed with a reverse gear in the past. I have added a link or two that may be of help but otherwise you don't seem to have many options. However, a good motorcycle mechanic may be able to mix a reverse gear onto your motorcycle or you may be able to do so yourself but it requires knowledge and experience in gearboxes.
