That capacitor would never start a bike but may have been used a a smoother on vehicle electricity circuit to take any ripples out. A bank of them may start a bike but it would need a few that size connected in parallel - that blue fuse looks like a 60 amp 'maxi-fuse (blue).

If a bike has a duff battery it may run if you put a capacitor in to replace battery and bump start it.

As apprentices we used to charge up higher voltage capacitors with a 'megger' insulation tester and chuck them to someone.
