What he means is that the average car can brake, not break, down to a stop from any given speed in a shorter distance than the average motorcycle. And he is correct, because they have more contact patches, tires, to transmit the braking forces to the ground.
OK. But what about the extra force created by the larger mass? Not questioning your knowledge. Just clarifying. I know the driver manual says that a bike takes the same time to stop. Not more. Not less.
