Dashboards are not bolted directly to engines. The issue is that motorcycle parts are more directly connected to the engine. Sportbikes normally use the engine as a structural member, bolting all the other bits and pieces to the engine block. So vibrations through motorcycle handlebars and such are more intense than those on the dash of even an extreme muscle car.

Before someone asks if this could be "fixed": This is a desirable trait. It improves the frame stiffness of the vehicle, resulting in better handling.

Presumably the steer bar is detached somewhat as it turns the front wheel which is sprung? Also, I can imagine that the vibrations also make it tiring to hold. So just like a proper sander can be used without getting tired arms from the shaking.
