John Surtees and Mike Hailwood spring to mind as well as good bike riders who turned successfully for car racing.
Johnny Cecotto, Wayne Gardner, Graeme Crosby and Gregg Hansford as mentioned all made the switch successfully as well.

Bazz had plenty of 4-wheel experience prior to testing the SBR Falcon, competing in the BTCC in 1985, he also raced Trucks in 1986 (in that case 6-wheel experience), and in later years doing major damage to one of Peter Brock's Ford Sierra in a testing accident at Winton.
On topic, i wasn't of the opinion that Chad Reed was all that serious when he made the comment.
