Do you see the motorcycle?

It's hard to say for certain if it's real or not - or maybe "based" on a real accident, with a little "licence" used for display impact purposes.

Sometimes the damage viewed is surprisingly little, sometimes surprisingly large. Accidents are complex with incalculably variable details in the outcome. A small shift in impact position/angle can make a world of difference to the resultant damage.

Motorbikes can do huge damage to cars. They have anything from about a quarter to an eighth the weight of an average car, but look at the frontal area... almost nothing. It can provide a very effective stabbing action.
 
Even if it wasn't staged, it's a bit of a pointless display. More people will be more intrigued by how the bike ends up in a car and will know it's unlikely to happen to them. It's hardly a lesson in road safety - more a Darwinism!

I have to say, looking at just the wreckage after impact is never a good way to draw a conclusion about how it happened.

I see no reason why the original pics shouldn't be genuine (the roof of the car has been removed at some point).

With Bike vs Car it isn't always that straightforward as to who will come off worse. (Though I would always choose to be in the car...) :(
