How often do you clean/wash/detail your bike?

It's just a waste of time, especially if you wipe down your bike frequently. I used it on my '04 one day and nothing changed. Just a waste of time, money and a waste of quick detailer that you could use just wiping it down normally.

I'm more interested in using the clay bar on my Jeep than the bike.

Go for it. Let me know what happens. I'm willing to bet nothing. But you could just lie to yourself.

Not bad. Thats gonna take some time to do the whole rig.

Do that and then wax it. You really won't notice a difference from just using the bar. After the wax, it should shine real nice though. Not sure if those built-up particles will have long-term affects on your paint though. I'm curious to see how long it'll take before it starts feeling like sand paper again? Proly not too long.

Clay bar is used to take out minor little scuffs, the "sandpaper" feel to the clearcoat, and can be used to remove any foreign materials that are stuck to your paint (ie tar)

It does not replace waxing the vehicle.

When I managed the recon department at the dealership, we charged an extra $50 to claybar a vehicle being cleaned.

and yes, it takes a long damn time to do a whole vehicle

Evidently you know nothing about clay barring.
