Hold off on purchasing that iPhone mount for your motorbike.
In a new Apple Support post first seen by MacRumors, the tech giant has warned that high amplitude vibrations,
"specifically those generated by high-power motorcycle engines" transmitted through handlebars, can damage its phones' cameras.

 
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket when on the bike. If I'm thrown from the bike in a crash, I want it with me. In a phone mount, it could be dislodged in a crash and you may not be able to find it. You also may be injured in a crash and not be able to get back to your bike to use the phone that is still attached to the bike. Anyway, that's my rationale for keeping it on my person. YVMV.
P.S.- I can still get voice turn by turn directions and music from my phone to my headset. I can also make voice activated calls through my headset.

I attach mine to the tank bag, it gets hot baking in the sun but is isolated from the high frequency vibes
