Indeed this has been discussed many times, and of course,
the final answer is 'We Don't Know'. We don't know what
happened to Sirius's motorbike. The last person known
to have it was Hagrid. Consequently, I think he still 
has it. That is, Sirius was captured before Hagrid had
a chance to return it, so Hagrid just stored it somewhere
at or near Hogwarts and forgot about it. I suspect at
some point, Harry will stumble across it again.

Now there are certainly some imaginative theories. Some
speculate that like all things that need to be 'off-page'
temporarily, like the Ford Anglia, the bike is in the
Forbidden Forest. Personally, that one seems unlikely
to me.

Many have speculated that the House at Godrics Hollow
belonged to Dumbledore. That it was his ancestral home
and he gave permission for the Potter's to hide there.
However, it could have been Hagrids family home, in 
which case, Hagrid may have hidden the motorbike near
his family home. Again, that means Harry is likely to
find it there. 

It is possible it was returned to Sirius's family along
with his other personal possessions when he was sentenced
to Azkaban. That means Harry could stumble across it in
one of the out-buildings (storage shed, etc...) at 
#12 Grimmauld Place. 

Personally, I think Hagrid just stashed it somewhere at
or near Hogwarts and forgot about it. Though, I have
been hoping Harry will stumble across it and use it
again.

For that it's worth.
