Space Marine and Chaos Space Marine bikes are essentially the same design, due to their shared origins. The difference is in the armament: while they both use [[twin-linked]] [[Bolters]] mounted on their bikes, Chaos Space Marine bikers also wield [[Close Combat Weapon]]s.
==Attack Bike==
''See also [[Bike Squadron]] for further details.''
A variant of the Bike is the Attack Bike. A sidecar is attached to the side of the Bike and usually carries a crew-operated heavy weapon, significantly increasing the firepower of a combat motorcycle squadron. There is no equivilent of the Attack Bike in the [[Chaos Space Marine Structure]].
==Ork Warbikes==
''See also [[Warbike Squadron]] for further details.''
Ork Warbikes are ramshackle devices created from as many parts as possible, to make as much noise and go as fast as possible. Maintained by the [[Mekboyz]], they provide Orks with fast moving and attacking units which do not suffer from the low armour their vehicles are famous for. They are also armed with a much greater firepower than other Bikes.
==Imperial Guard Bikes==
The Imperial Guard are not known for their exclusive use of Bikes, but occasionally [[Rough Rider Squadrons]] may be mounted on Bikes rather than the native animals. This confers no benefits or disadvantages to the rider, but is a fairly easy conversion project.
