They aren't sure if it'll work as well on motorcycles, but I don't see why it wouldn't, as long as it's secured.

Ok, the still pictures were taken by some guy with a slow shutter speed to give them a seamless appearance. On top of that it makes them look brighter and I can almost guarantee the color hues were tweaked.
So in short, they're junk...
HOWEVER, if this is the kind of **** that you can get your jollies off with, do it. Don't even second guess yourself. This helps me know who not to talk to at bike nights so you're really doing us both a favor here.

+1 look at the video on the website. Doesnt even look like the light hit the ground at all, yet the still photos its lighting up everything.

Probably for the same reason people put chrome on their bikes
Chrome gets ya home! Yeah, that's how the sayin goes.

I personally don't invest any money in, or put anything on my Busa that doesn't make it go faster in a straight line
, BUT, my Boulevard on the other hand looks like it was dipped in chrome and has blue L.E.D.'s all over it. I think a set of blue wheel lights would go perfect with it 
Guess I'm gonna have to try some of these...

It may look cool, but I doubt you'll get it working well on a busa wheel. If you look closely at the enlarged pics on the site, you can see that the battery box is about a 1/3rd the size if a pack of cigarettes and zip tied to the spokes near the hub of the bike. The lead from the batteries to the lights is wrapped around one of the spokes. On a 30" outside diameter bicycle wheel that probably never goes faster than 25 mph (yes I know that racers regularly go after than that, but I doubt you'd ever see a racer put those on his/her wheels) the centrifical force is probably not all that significant. On a 25" - 26" outside diameter motorcycle wheel that regularly travels at three times that speed, the centrifical force will be significantly greater -- and the consequences of that pack flying off are quite a bit scarier.
For a bike with LED lighting, they would probably look real cool if you could securely fasten them.
