I use Philips X-Treme Vision H1 and H7 bulbs. I have used them in cars and bikes and they are a great bulb. However IMHO the X-Treme Vision bulb is hampered by the poor headlight design of the 696/796/1100 which gives a very inconsistent beam. At night almost every car/bike that I pass (or passes me) has better headlights.

If I regularly rode at night on unlit roads at speeds in excess of 50mph I would change the headlight.
