No chance, more likely due to poor mating surface or bad hub leading to the disc not running 100% straight.

I suggest you read the link I posted in full.

Steve will now perform his trick of calling people an m8 and asking if people are ok or want a fight. This is what happens when he is ignored and considered to be full of shite by people from actual life not www.life

Why don't you take it up with the bloke who has 40 years racing experience Barnes? You can tell him you own a 500bhp Corsa and he may take you seriously.

read the link, he doesnt say theres no such thing.
he just says most cases are due to pad build up and in his racing career he's never seen one. id suggest thats due to the high quality parts used in race cars.

saying brakes cant warp is basically saying metal cant warp when subjected to heat and pressure.

edit:

what sort of disc temps are likely to been seen on a bike?

edit 2:

is that tyre on the front of that bike the wrong way round?

Just to pick up on this (not Chris in particular, others have said it too) discs for road cars are never steel.

Discs can warp
Steve gets very agitated when wrong
Cheap discs crack
