Why can motorcycle accelerate much faster than a car but have the same or lower top speed?

Because Motorcycles have a much higher power to weight ratio. Motorcycles consist of pretty much an engine, wheels, a little pad for a seat, and some metal to hold it all together. Compare this to a car which has a bulky frame, heavy seats, all kinds of internal systems, a heavy transmission, etc. and you realize the difference. This is why a motorcycle with a .5 L engine can dominate cars with engines 3 times their size.
Also because Chuck Norris said so.

You will feel the steering wheel shake or judder in your hands at a certain speed.

A falling object will continue to accelerate when free falling, but each object has a maximum speed which it can reach (but go no faster than this speed) when free falling from great heights. True.
How does the overdrive work on a 5 speed manual transmission?
Overdrive means the wheels are turning faster than the engine so gas is saved, (5th gear would be overdrive) however if you want to accelerate quickly you will have to shift into a lower gear which would make the engine turn faster than the wheels.
