If it was my only choice because I was in middle of nowhere - sure, but DO NOT START THE CAR'S MOTOR because the extra power from the charging system will possibly destroy the motorcycle's charging system and could cause a fire. The car battery should have enough power to start the motorcycle without the car's motor running.

No, it's not a case of 12 volts is 12 volts and this isn't a Honda, you can easily blow your 22 amp regulator by hitting it with 100+ amps from the cage.
