Sure, they give a bit better light - but why play around with filament bulbs?
Go HID and your lighting woes will be a thing of the past! (55w, I don't think the 35W are as good)
The cost of a kit/kits will be a cheap enough - and the bulbs last significantly longer (especially on a bike) due to the arc.
My thoughts anyway. (I've put HIDs in nearly everything me and my family have driven for the past 5+ years)

I hope youre referring to retrofit kits
But I will never put hid bulbs in a reflector housing. I want to be seen and see better, not blind others.
Retrofit HID kit, as opposed to HID projector kit?
I have done (literally) dozens of HID installs, and as long as you aim the beams down a bit (HIDs have a tendency to shoot high) then there really is no reason not to install HIDs in a reflector housing.
You DO need to make sure the reflector is UV stable, and you DO have to use the shield that comes with the H4 HID bulb, but otherwise I've had no complaints.
All a reflector does is reflect - as long at the light source (filament or arc) is in the same place, the reflector will reflect light the same way, in the same direction.
Maybe there is a difference with whatever HID kits are available in the states, but I've never had a problem.
Cheers,
