Actually, I think there's a fair explanation that. Sirius had just noticed
Pettigrew had betrayed them, that the Potters were dead and he had failed to
protect them. He blamed himself for having given the idea of using Peter,
and when he learned that Dumbledore had plans for Harry he decided the kid
was safer in the care of the only one Voldy ever feared.

He was blaming himself and his self steem was pretty low in that moment. All
he could probably think about was how he just wouldn't have the power to
protect Harry, how his best friend was dead and how useless he had been...
and so he gave Harry and his own motorbike to Hagrid, because he was going
to face the traitor and he wasn't expecting, or even intending to make it
back alive. He was probably ready to throw his life away, so he put his most
prized possessions in the hands of someone who could protect them and love
them as he would.

Not that I think leaving a motorbike and a baby in Hagrid's hands was sane,
but Sirius was never known for having common sense anyway.
