The physics of bicycles and motorcycles are essentially the same but with more speed and power in the latter, the effects are going to be magnified
I'm not sure about "magnified", I think having the power available to spin your back wheel and make it drift sideways is something that just doesn't happen on a bike other than in really specific conditions
. I don't think that's the cause of all, or even most tank-slappers on motorbikes, but it's worth considering that the physics of those is potentially qualitatively different from similar-looking problems that you might get on a bike.
