Ha, good question!
'You are so motorbike (你很機車)' means 'You are so naughty / mean / etc.'
Long time ago, I did do some research about the origin out of curiosity. Supposing the information is correct, it is originally referring to 雞巴 (pronounced: ji ba) which means 'cock / penis' yet being said 機車 (pronounced: ji che) to sound less gross. It's like in English, shoot for shit, for the same reason.
It's very very very very common among close friends--it never makes you feel offended when being said to by your close friends and vice versa.
PS What I just wrote here does not represent me. I am just here trying to be of little help ;-)
