Oh snap. You can see blood in that first picture.
Or red food coloring for you skeptics

But hoax or not that'd be one hell of a way to die. I wonder if they even knew what hit them. It said they didn't have time to react but if they even noticed the cycle or not...hmm.

Doesn't say a whole lot for the strength of a the VW.

Drunks on the road get people killed no matter their vehicle or their speed. Hang 'em all.

Ford Escort RS (probably turbo) or XR3i somewhere around about mk 5 or 6.

Beloved by boyracers up and down this country, so the accident site could well be England...

The Swedish Police and Road Safety Department displayed the wreckage of this car-motorcycle collision at the Stockholm Motorcycle Fair.

The VW you posted Klutch? Yeah, its turned up a few places now, I think it was a standard press release as the text is always the same.

I am thinking that the bike is the Honda VFR750 but dont have any reference to hand for the rear end. Anyone know?

The wreckage Dr Bar posted though does look like the rear quarter of an Escort in England.

Right. It's just physics. The combination of weight x velocity determines how much energy is involved. If you take a 500 pound motorcycle (or rock, or cow) and accellerate it to 155 mph, it will destroy nearly any car on the road.
