I'll admit it is taken from another site, but it is a decent list. Here is the link to the page: http://yesthetruthhurts.com/2011/02/orks-the-66-treatment/

Here's a list I've been playing:

There's a large segment of Ork players that really believe other ork units does the "job" better than warbikers. In a sense, they're right and depending on your local meta, warbikers can be tough to field.

Having said that...

Ork biker armies are awesome... the only thing that REALLY can switch 'em off are powers/events that forces LD tests (ei, losing 25% per turn, PBS, etc...).

Here's my basic list:
HQ:
Wazdakka
Warboss on Warbike, PK, Cyborked

Troops:
8x Warbikers + 1 Nob biker w/ BP, PK
8x Warbikers + 1 Nob biker w/ BP, PK
8x Warbikers + 1 Nob biker w/ BP, PK
9x Diversified Nobs w/ Painboy, 3x PK, 4x BC, BP, Cyborked, etc...

Fast Attack:
1x TL Rokkit Deffkopta + Buzzsaw
1x TL Rokkit Deffkopta + Buzzsaw

Elites:
4 x Kommandos with 2 burnas + 1 Snikrot

This lists rocks...

Constant 4+ coversaves for bikers... 4+ armour save... TL Bigshootas (3 shots per at AP5). I've taken down Big Tyranid bugs, terminator squads with just the bikers.

The Nob squads are just mean... I've had a Chaos deathstar assault my Nobs... this consisted of 3 Terminators, 1 Chaos Lord in Termie + ID demon weapon, AND Typhus... The Nob squad wiped out that unit in 2 turns (opponent even assaulted the nob squad with his beserkers after the 1st combat round and the Nob squad feasted on them).

All in all... they're tough, pack a CC punch (nob squad) and can outshoot most armies (moar DAKKA!).

However, there are flaws to this army... they're susceptable to anything that forces leadership tests (tankshock, pinning, PBS, etc) that can run the bikers off the board. The trick with this army to is get the nobs in CC asap. The other 3 warbikers FOCUSes their DAKKA power to one or two targets.

Also another problem is that during objective games, opponents would put the objective markers in terrain (where bikers take dangerous terrain) or put 'em on second/third floor where bikers can't even get them. My solution is to have the kommandos or deffkoptas contest those...

Anyhoo... it may not be "tournament" quality playlist, but it's hella fun.

Well as a biker army the 2 suggested may get you somewhere. Basically it's Wazdakka with biker squads of your choice of size, but with the Nob/PK/BP upgrades in each squad. Nob bikers can be considered as well as a PK biker boss for some fast str10 smashing. Koptas could work but I think warbuggies would do better, with twin rokkits on all of them.

I use bikers in a trukker list as forward units of about 6 bikers with the Nob/PK/BP ungrades and they work a charm
