Scouts and dispatch riders, or carrying George Peppard around when he's looking for a crashed plane, that's OK - but battalions of motorcycle-borne infantry is a noisy waste of metal. Better to put them on bicycles (I seem to remember the Swiss experimenting not long ago with bike-borne infantry, and the Swiss Army bicycle is a hipster-lust artifact of long standing).
It depends - on what you want to use them for!
