Are bikes or cars faster?

Motorcycles are faster than cars on average due to their high power-to-weight ratio and their small profile which results in less wind resistance and a low drag coefficient. Due to their lightweight, motorcycles also have less momentum at the same speed that a car is travelling, which makes accelerating more effective.

Why do bikes have low top speed?

The one thing that motorcycles have more potential for is acceleration at low speeds because their light bodies do not hold back the engine very much while gaining speed until they are going fast enough that the inferior aerodynamics consume too much power from the engine.
