Not true. It depends on the track. Any car is physically capable of MUCH higher acceleration through the corners than almost any motorcycle. That's because a car has 4 wheels, and thus massive amounts of rubber to counteract centripetal force. A motorcycle only has lean angle and the edge grip of both tires to counteract centripetal force. A bike's main advantage over a car is its ability to cut through corners, along with a high power/weight ratio and quick braking. All depends on the circuit..
Only 12k RPM on a GSX-R? Older model 1000, correct?
Cars and motorcycles on a track at the same time is a bit hairy. Glad everyone made it home in one piece.
There are some great vids out here showing motorcycles beating all sorts of cars (Porsches, Lamborghinis, etc...) A properly ridden motorcycle will beat almost any car, any day on a given circuit. I know you were not passing earlier on intentionally.
