Change the bitmap to a MC and give it an instance name of "pic" for example. Then put the following code on the button -

on(press){
pic._rotation = 180;
}

You may want to try out some of the supplied tutorials already available in Flash. They're not always that clear, but the most basic are a great help to get you started.

Firstly, the motorbike MC has no iunstance name (pic) so the path would be wrong. also, the button you are using is in fact a movie clip and all code placed on an MC refers to variables or MCs inside the MC. There for the code needs to be changed to -

on(press){
_root.pic._rotation = 180;
}

or

on(press){
_parent.pic._rotation = 180;
}
