Wanted. Video camera with permanent 12v connection for my motorcycle.

Is there one?

Police must use one on their motorcycles

Intended use is for personal use only and not phaff around with batteries

Have you checked out dogcam ? http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/

They make the best black box recorders but just remember that they are intended for mounting inside a car windscreen where they are protected from rain and weather and most important vibrations. On a bike the camera would be exposed to the weather, rain, dust, heat from the sun/ bike and vibrations.
Not sure what you want to use it for but if it is as a bike black box recorder then you will need two one to view forwards and one to view backwards to give you best coverage. Then you have to consider how you are going to mount it so that it cannot be stollen.
Most of them automatically switch on to record when you start up and continously record some even have have GPS tracking and motion activated recording.
You make your choice and pays your money

I have a bullet cam that needs a new home. the camera itself is the size a shotgun cartridge powered via a 12v plug. That is then plugged into a video camera with AV in to record (that could also be run from 12v with an adapted)

PM me if your interested

I have just purchased a system from these;

I use a Drift camera, takes two AA batteries but also has a mains lead that plugs in to a standard socket. Great quality in my opinion and wont break the bank.

What model please. Just checked ebay and no mention of a 12v lead into a cigarette socket
