There are both amenity=bicycle_parking and amenity=motorcycle_parking tags. I would either use two nodes in the same vicinity (one for each tag), or use one tag for the parking area and a node inside it for the other tag.

I saw this one which is marked for "cycles" on the road. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7598114854 The problem with creating 2 nodes is that they share the same capacity. It can contains 28 bicycles or 13 motorbikes (or an intermediate number if there is a mix of the two). I guess that 2 nodes would be more useful for people searching for a parking place, but we would lose the information about the capacity.
