Who is suing whom? The police can go after the person that filed a false report. I am not sure from your question what you are asking.

Have no idea what your question is. Police don't file "false reports" they may make mistakes and if they do it is usually because people don't tell them straight are you saying this bike hit you, or you hit it sounds like a lawsuit for property damage only but it is not clear what your problem is from the statement you give.

I'm unsure of whether you were in another vehicle which was involved with a collision with the motorcycle. One way or another, unless a criminal statute has a provision which gives a civil remedy, there would be no cause of action for the making of the false report. However, if you were involved in the collision and suffered a loss, the Crash Report will not hurt your right to a remedy.
