In theory, you would be able to do this feat. However, it may be dangerous in practice. The motorcycle and the treadmill would need to be going at the same speed. If the motorcycle went faster than the treadmill, it would eventually go off of the front. If it went slower, you would fall off of the back. Most treadmills do not go faster than 10 mph, so it would not be an enjoyable ride.

you can balance but you might slide off...well i just realized...when you ride a bicycle you go foward...wouldn't you like crash into like the head of the treadmill?? on the road the ground is still so you can keep going but on a treadmill it's not still...the tape thingy keeps moving as you pedel...maybe...i don't know i never tried that...lol

It would be difficult to maintain the proper speed, so you would be able to balance, but would risk falling off the back or crashing into the front.

Yes, you would be able to if it is at the right speed. The wheels are still rotating, which is what gives you the feeling of "balance".

There is no difference, because all inertial frames of
reference are the same.
