It would also cost more than the proposed WD rule, since
there is no downside. Your first suggestion would be the easiest to
price; just run the improved bike/speeder stats through the points
formula posted here a little while ago.

That's a little strong for only 1 point more. And as I've
mentioned in the past, the E40k representation of "immune to
psychology & break tests", at least for non-Tyranids, is Stubborn.
Because that's exactly what Thousand Sons and Noise Marines get in
E40k, and both units are immune to psych in WH40k.
Not every special ability a unit has in WH40k has to be
represented in it's E40k stats.
