That motorbike is totally destroyed.

 

Somebody, the car driver, the bike rider or somebody else involved has been hitting the hard stuff to cause this carnage, I'd wager, 5:30am is the clue.

Some serious speed going on judging by the photos.

5.30am is not an uncommon time to be starting the day here. Off to market, plantations etc... There was definitely some excessive speed involved though !

I wouldnt be too  sure about excessive speed  personally, years ago I was hit at 30mph whilst stationary waiting at a  junction, the retard  that hit me had no insurance etc but afterwards I could not close the  doors  of   my  car (Astra) as it has concertinaed the car enough to overlap them, even better it was an August 1st Brand  new car and Id  done 8  miles in it driving it  home. Cars are designed to fold up these  days with not  much impact speed.

That is not an unreasonable assumption

If that's what the motorbike looks like after the accident, I sure they were picking up pieces of the rider, over several meters.

But not motorbikes, it would seem... 

The one in the photo looks like it exploded !

why are you talking about cars folding up, ? it was a motorbike. and as i ride one i would say that was a pretty high speed accident.bike was totalled.
