I am a fan of the Contour cameras, I have had one for at least three years. The one I have is waterproof without need for an external case, you turn it on and of with a big sliding switch on top which you can't mistake if it turned on or not and I think the video quality is pretty good. In my opinion they have a better product than GoPro but not the marketing budget to make the public aware.

Here is the first video I ever shot with it, the camera was attached to the bumper of a four wheeler

I too have the Contour Roam 2 and am more than satisfied with it. I was able to take some awesome video going down the Amalfi coast in Italy last summer but was in a RV not m/c. Will be taking a lot this summer with it. Can control and watch everything on my iPhone with it.

The SJ4000 has been popular with the guys flying the remote control drone quadcopters for quite some time. Many are using it instead of the GoPro.

I picked up a SJ4000 off of Gear Best. It ships with a bicycle mount that I *believe* I can adopt to my motorcycle handlebar using a set of longer bolts.

Another HD 1080P company is at Pyleaudio.com. I haven't got into posting stuff to youtube yet just my on personal use to check out my riding habits. The camera I use is the PSCHD60....got a deal off WOOT a couple years back for around $70.00. It does what I want it to do, has a remote, water proof case, several mounting supports and good customer support.

Shot this the other day with an SJ4000 wifi quickly hung on the engine mount. Camera was under $90 delivered and seemed to do a decent job. Since these things will only get better and cheaper with time I figured I could replace it every couple of years as the technology improves.
