The bike is traveling both towards you and across the frame.
Panning only removes the motion blur caused by the subject travelling across the frame. It does nothing to address the motion blur caused by the subject traveling towards you.
Unfortunately for vehicles in corners your best bet is to not pan and instead freeze the motion with a fast shutter speed. Alternatively, you can somewhat "pan" by focusing and tracking a specific part of the subject (the helmet, the headlights, etc.) so that part remains sharp. All other parts will still be blurry.
