I have a h4 hid bulb (hi/lo beam with a moving capsule) in my x-challenge. Without having a second bike so the 2 can be compared side by side I can't confirm that the beam has not been affected but it seems to be ok. The light output is much greater though and I can see more clearly. Even with a car coming towards me on an unlit road at night I can see enough to continue with confidence rather than having to slow down as I used to.
I also find blue/white hid lights on other vehicles makes them stand out against the yellow/white of normal headlights where a normal bulb would blend in. Having this on a bike can only be a good thing, providing you still get a good beam pattern.
