Alright, if my math is correct, the motorcycle is traveling at around 45 miles an hour down the road. This is based on the actual collision (have surveyed many accidents in my time as an insurance adjuster). The car, failing to yield to the passing motorcycle, is clearly at fault and will be cited for the results of the accident. The reason why the motorcyclist goes flying at the moment of impact is that the car is at a dead stop, and the motorcycle exhibits no rate of decay in speed. The motocycle comes to a dead hault, but the force of the man's body is maintaining at least a 25-28 mph speed at the moment of impact. I have no idea what the speed limit is on that road, but it appears to be a two lane road, so it's probably 20-30 mph.
tl;dr, motorcycle was speeding, but car is at fault. Dude goes flying because only his bike stops, not him.
