A car engine needs to rev much lesser than a bike engine. You'll see all cors are very conservatively redlined at 9K to 10K rpm. And they are tuned that way to drive easy, and deliver max power at very moderate RPMs.
And the converse is for a street bike. Cramming a 1000cc engine into a chassis and extracting the kind of mind numbing performance needs the engine to be a high revving, and in a higher state of tune.
And a car has all the space in the world for a bigger engine. A Street bike does not. It has to make the best out of what it has.
