Pfah! You dare to denigrate the almighty Attack Bike? The Fires of Purity
Will Cleanse the Flesh of Heretics! I am shocked and dismayed by your
suggestion that victory cannot be guaranteed by simply taking enough Attack
Bikes. Since Attack Bikes are invincible harbringers of destruction for the
foes of the Emperor, any Army composed entirely of Attack Bikes must
necessarily be undefeatable.

Seriously though, I just prefer the AB's to the two other, similar options
available to marines: SM Bikes and Land Speeders. As a matter of personal
preference, I think that 5cm extra movement and the 'skimmer' special
ability, however nice it may be, is not worth doubling the price of the
unit. YMMV. Similarily, I prefer 15cm extra range and 1 extra firepower to
5cm extra move and 1 extra assault.

Well, of course almost: if they had exactly the same statistics, it would
be even more obvious AB's are better.
