I don't think that Sirius's bike is a charmed muggle object. It's 
propbably a magical artifact that takes part of its form from a 
muggle device, much like the Hogwarts Express or Knight Bus. If it is 
an enchanted rather that conjured device then its very heavily 
enchanted as it apparently can't be seen or heard by muggles and 
changes size to fit its rider be it half giant or tall wizard.
