I started over here with 4Kam:

I found their DVR a pain in the backside to use, but they did say after I got a full refund that they have sorted the issue now.
I moved next to:

That's a super bit of kit. 3 switches to flick and bam, your recording. I was getting just over 3 hours to a 4GB SD card but that was with the 5 hour battery pack.
The only problem is I found it had reliability issues when used day in day out. If you want to use it every now and then, this would be the perfect solution.
I'm now moving to the PDR100 with a HQ1 550 TVL camera.

The difference in tvl is not all that much. When you get to 520 and 550 it's then the DVR that becomes the bottle neck because most only record 640x480 @ 25 fps.
I would go with solid state recording because anything with moving parts on a bike will jump and skip unless well padded.
The main thing is, the more money you spend, the better quality you will get back.
