They are available for motorcycles. You'd have to really search to find a good deal though. This is the first one that came up on a yahoo search.

I have HIDs in my '03 600RR. It's expensive though...almost $240 USD per side. That includes bulb, ballast, and install.

That's almost $500 USD just for some pretty lights!!!

Next up are projectors.
