Thank you to all for the replies, I think this makes the most sense, if you are out and about/ roadside, it would be unlikely you would have a completely flat battery, and this could dump enough power to get it started maybe?
The AA guy stated he had used it on motorbikes on call outs.
I have looked on youtube and all the videos on there seem to be looking to replace the battery with capacitors, rather than using one to jump start the bike... Maybe I should just build one and see what happens....
