The motorbike and driver were dragged up to 85 metres, before the bike became trapped underneath the car.
The four-wheel drive reversed and left the scene and the bike burst into flames.
Investigators believe the group later abandoned the car in Scoresby before breaking into a home and stealing a white Toyota Camry.
That car was found burnt out overnight at Narre Warren, about 22 kilometres away.
Deputy Commissioner Crisp described the crimes as "networked offending", rather than being the work of an organised gang.
They were similar to a wave of aggravated burglaries and violent carjackings last year, which prompted the Victorian Government to introduce new offences to deal with the issue.
