Motorcycles and inherently unstable due to the fact they have only two wheels and unlike cars or vehicles with more than two wheels, fall over if not balanced by a person or some sort of balancing system(e.g. Segway).

When a motorcycle loses grip with the road it becomes much more difficult to maintain the balance because when the bike is leaned over the tires want to wash out. In a car, when this happens, the car simply spins until it comes to a rest.

The real danger of the oil is that if the rider manages to make it through the oil patch, the oil will stick to the tires and reduce the amount of grip available to the rider significantly.
