I need to clarify...

It's not the stability of the video that concerns me. I think your viewers will understand and appreciate the verite presentation.

It's the effect of microvibration on the camera that you have to worry about. Over time, small-but-steady vibration tends to damage circuits and wear out moving parts. You need some sort of buffer between the camera and the bike. It would probably be fairly easy to build your own vibration-damping mount for just a few bucks.
