Maneuverability of a bike suffers from the same traction issue. At the speed when you can't plant your foot to pivot around bikes need to go much slower than cars in the same corners to not skid out. Check out descends on any road race, bikes are braking to 20-30 mph in sone corners, which cars pass at full speed. Not to mention that a car can skid fairly easily on either axle, while on a bike very few can get out of the rear wheel skid and the front wheel skid is the game over.
