The pump you describe is a stirrup pump. Quite popular with serious pedal cyclists.
Pretty well zero chance of seating a motorbike tire with it.
There was an interesting video posted on here recently using "easy start", or some such flammable spray, and a lighter to seat the tire, but I think I'll stick with the compressor.
