Motorcycles are a pain, all the nooks and crannies. It depends on how much polishing is necessary, but 150-200 for a bike is not unheard of - it takes me forever to buff one and there's a high risk of paint burns, due to the nooks and crannies. Pain in the rear to tape off all the leather and plastic too.

If you've got a sportbike on your hands, it's sometimes easier to take a few screws out and take panels off to buff them.
