Pretty neat application. Torque interruption on gear-changes matter more in a light motorbike than on a one-and-a-half ton car.

Even better is the workload reduction. A dual-clutch in a sports car lessens the driver's workload during cornering and allows him to concentrate on proper driving lines and braking. The effect should be even more pronounced in a motorbike, allowing you more control over the bike while shifting. Probably allowing you to shift later or even in situations where you normally wouldn't shift with a manual (well leaned-over... welll... it would for me, cause I suck at riding).
