I didn't see the report, however like all experiments (I use this term loosely!) it is possible to alter the input parameters to create a specific outcome. In this case I would suggest that a Lamborgini is not the best car for a twisty road. Yes there powerful with great acceleration, but are also big with a large-ish turning circle. I have been on a number of car trackdays and regularly see people with Lotus Elise's etc. caining Ferari's and similar.
I think that this comparison has so many in-built differences (abilities of the cars/bikes, abilities of the drivers, road conditions, knowledge of the course etc.) that the results are largely irrelevant to the wider world. We should all know that on modern roads in the UK a bike will be fast purely due to the fact that they can filter through traffic - case closed.
