You may want to send HerrRiebmann a private message. He made a dongle that connects to the ODB port of his motorcycle and broadcasts the data via Bluetooth for the VIRB to store. He made the code available in GitHub.
If your bike does not have an OBD port, you're going to come up with another solution. Fortunately, there are multiple threads in the arduino forum explaining how to do it. Here's a nice example.
Every manufacturer has it´s own plug, protocol, communication, and so on. It´s not standardized like it is on cars and trucks.
AS vic_06 said correctly, you can read make it work by the onboard diagnostic interface, if available.
If not, you probably have a CAN bus to manipulate, or at last the voltage from your tachometer (vic´s last link).
Currently, I don´t know any bike which would be OBD II compatible. So it definitely will not be a Plug&Play solution.
(There will be some due to the matter of fact, the EURO4 is coming next year. But there is still no clear statement if it will equal to the OBD II protocol and/or compatible with dongles for cars)

Awesome!!! i like it a lot! thank you for all the info , will have a look to see what is possible on a 1989 old 2 stroke TZR track bike....

Hi HerrRiebmann;
thank you for the replys , much appreciated!!!
I have an old Two Stroke Track bike she is 27 years old....TZR250-3ma.
I will have a look at all the information you posted and formulate a plan that would at a quick glance suggest the voltage from tacho meter...
the RPM overlay is to give my videos that moto GP feeling all in the spirit of having a bit of Fun when sharing.
I am not a professional rider , just part of a Historic Motorcycle Group that enjoy rideing track events
the overlays make for great conversation after a Track Day over a beer!
and i look quite the genius compared to the other guys that half the time only took a selfie with their expensive gopro action cams! lol
You are welcome!
The TZR does not seem to have a lot of electronics. My approach will not work :(
So I´d measure the tachometer voltage and give it a try. You will definitely find a lot of examples! The manufactures of third party tachometers do it the same way. And that´s where all the hobby "hackers" like us get our concepts from :cool:
