He told Crossland: "This carried a substantial risk of danger to other people.
"The motorcycle had serious defects which affected its braking and steering."
Crossland was banned from driving for three years and eight months and told to take an extended driving test.
Robert Yates, prosecuting, described how speeding Crossland hit a Hyundai car before colliding with cyclist Mr Minevicius.
Both riders were seriously hurt, the court heard.
An expert vehicle examiner found the Kawasaki had a rear brake bracket which was sheared off and re-attached with a cable tie, loose steering and an under-inflated front tyre.
The machine was in top gear before the crash, the court heard.
Mr Minevicius was left in daily discomfort and frightened at the sound of motorcycles.
Emily Evans, defending, said her client suffered from significant mental health problems.
Miss Evans said: "He recognises the harm he caused to that gentleman.
"He indicated regret and remorse in interview."
Miss Evans said her client would welcome a lifetime driving ban.
She added: "He won't be able, mentally or physically, to return to the road in any event."
