Once again, it's all about the utilization of space. Why should one motorcycle take up an entire area where a car could be occupying that area, especially if car or truck will be purchasing 4 or 5 times more worth of fuel. It's no different than the logic of filtering or providing motorcycle parking. Dedicating and modifying one island or creating an area just for motorcycles will actually increase the station's capacity as long as the bikes fuel up where they should. Wherever there is a group ride involved, this would really pay off. If I were a station owner, a little advertisement along the highway, showing a picture of the pumps, informing it's a motorcycle friendly station may get all the business. The negative side, many of the popular areas that attract motorcycles could be seasonal. So you would have dead space during the winter. But during the peak season, there are often times the stations are sobusy, many vehicles must wait to enter the station, and many of the congestion are caused from a group of motorcyclist. Regarding the poll, I guess you got your answer from this picture.
