You signed a contract saying that you should pay a motorcycle for two years but wasn't able to pay on time for 6 months is that Breach of Contract?

It's a breach which may be a curable breach under the loan documents. The question really becomes was the breach cured. In other words, did the person ultimately pay. If the loan documents state that the Lender doesn't waive the right to declare untimely payments a breach then a breach could be called a default and the motorcycle could be repossessed. If the Lender accepts the payments late and the language doesn't preserve the right to call a default then the payments and acceptance are a waiver of the right to declare a default.

Can they repossess your car with you in it?

A valid repossession must not cause an unlawful breach of the peace - even if the debtor is the one instigating the breach. So if the debtor gets into the car, it cannot be repossessed at that time, you'd be kidnapping them essentially. In the USA, this actually happened, the repossession was declared to be non valid and the debtor awarded a cash settlement in court.
