I quite agree, as I've pointed out elsewhere although the bicycle is fastest away it's a short-lived advantage (I'm not discussion racing starts, so it's assumed all vehicles are starting from idle and reacting to e.g. lights changing). In a racing start, a well-driven torquey car (like the Veyron) will also launch faster than a motorbike - at least to start with. Once the speed increases, the acceleration drops and the motorbike can then use its superior power-to-weight ratio (which it can't fully use off the line). Eventually - once speeds are well into triple digits - a fast-enough car starts to catch up with the motorbike again (due to better aerodynamics).
