Yeb, tried it. Theres a lot of "glare"/light that doesnt hit the road. Try driving down a narrow road, and see how much light os thrown uo and to the sides, which will blind oncoming drivers.

My bike has H4 bulb, high and lowbeam in one bulb. The solution with the HID is to move the bulb in and out of the reflector. But mine had a small rattle, which made the lights seem like it blinked, if you looked carefully.

My buddy had xenon on his ktm lc4, it sucked driving in front of him, because his lights were all over my mirrors.

Try to lend your xenon-equipped bike to a mate at night, and make him drive past you when you sit in a car (or have your head at similar height)

I do however have a 55w xenonkit build in a small fog light as my helmet light for offroad at night.....Which is just perfect for my use of it.

Here you compare it with a 8000k, i recon with 4000k that you wont have the same problem. Anyway, if you choose between no power on bike and HID, i choose HID.

It was listed as a 4000k or 4300k (cant remember) the foglight has slightly blue-tinted glass.

I was just trying to show than xenon can be very usefull, under the right circumstances.

And when we are talking about lights, all new cars with xenon makes mirror looking to a hell.
