RWHP to weight ratio

I did a search and did not come up with anything. If you know were I can find it give me a link.
Reading through some dyno charts on 04 sedan AT, The highest that I found was 221 RWHP.
My question is with my car weighting , guessing here but like 3500lbs??? and my Motorcycle @ 411lbs.

So if my car has 221 RWHP
And my motorcycle @ 128 RWHP

car approx 15hp/lb
bike approx 3.2hp/lb

This just seems odd to my. Both are plenty fast for me, but there must a better explanation???

Just bored @ work, any thoughts.

Actually, you have that reversed. It's "pounds per horsepower". So your bike is only having to move 3.2 pounds per peak horsepower, whereas the sedan is having to move 15 or so pounds per horsepower.

What is weird about your information? I don't really understand what you're trying to ask. Also, the way you wrote it is incorrect, because as it stands the figures are backwards.

It should be:
G35 15 lbs carried per horsepower
Bike 3 lbs carried per horsepower

This would obviously make more sense, because through your experience as you know your bike can take off far faster than a G35 can (it's carrying less weight per horsepower).
