All depends how much you want to spend, Google best buys and go from there!
Plenty of tests on line, you can always put a list together there is bound to be someone on this site who maybe has one?

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the seat.

100 is probably too low for a dedicated sports style camera. For good footage, get a go pro. For alright but very cheap footage go md80.

Else figure out a way to mount a compact camera or dv camera to your bike.

There's a couple of guys having some sucess with £20 camera's from Ebay or 7Day shop. The picture quality looks pretty good but the sound quality varies a lot. Have a search, most have clips up.

£100 will net you a nice camera, however for some reason a "sports type" camera aka the go-pro or A2tk thing cost a small fortune.

You could however get pretty good footage on a normal dv camera, just need to figure out how to mount it. Search youtube for the cameras you like to see example footage, people have strapped everything from old mini-8 camcorders to point and shoot compacts, md80 clones, and go-pros to motorbikes so just have a browse.
