Me, too. For several years I drove Finchley Sea Cadets up to Loch Oich in our coach for a week of water-sports in October. We always stopped at the Green Welly on the way up.

The bloke riding it engaged reverse gear and negotiated his exit from that parking space with consummate ease

Is it a proper reverse gear or like the Goldwing and Just "pulls it back on the starter motor"

Just found the answer - Yes, there’s Reverse (but it’s optional). A worm drive off the starter motor backs you out of tough spots when you push the R button on the handlebar.
