The intent at balancing was that Karts got yellow drift boosts and faster top speed overall, while bikes got wheelies. The problem is that even the slowest bike's wheelie is faster than the fastest kart's top speed, you can cancel out of wheelies any time by pressing down on the D-pad or the drift button so the risk/reward of getting wheeliebumped and having to commit to a straight are gone, and that bikes ALSO have inside drift which is objectively better in almost every scenario. The only time a Kart is better is in Rainbow Road since there aren't enough straights to warrant bike wheelies, and the turns are wide enough to benefit outside drift.
As an aside, since this thread's talking about Retro Rewind, that modpack tries to fix kart balance by giving them hybrid drifting and MK8's pink miniturbo boosts.
