Personally I would stay away from it because of the fact that they reccomend never patching motorcycle tires. Lets say your tire got a puncture but the goo filled it. You would never know that you had a problem with the tire until it finally let go. It kinda depends on how you are with tire inspection. If you picked up a nail the goo may seal around it as long as the nail was there, allowing you to make it to your destination. Thats great but if you didn't inspect your tire before your next ride you wouldn't know, and worst case scenario lets say you decide to open it up and the seal lets go at 120+, ouch.
