The seek and destroy spearhead says, "Up to three units of Fast Skimmers or Bikes." Would jet bikes count?

I would say yes. Jetbikes are a subsection of Bikes and use all the same rules (save for the exceptions listed).

From a purely RAI standpoint, I think it's a no-brainer. If they are including Fast Skimmers as an option, Jetbikes pretty much bridge the gap between Bikes and Fast Skimmers.

Yup, they have recently decided that jetbokes most definitely count as bikes, as they can be Jaws'd...

Yes! Most definatly! I believe in the rulebook that jetbikes count as normal bikes (but they have special rules)

That was an FAQ though, not an Errata.

RaW Jetbikes are not Bikes.

They're in the same category as bikes, howver, same as Beasts are not Cavalry but fit in the same category.

It was just a stupid FAQ answer in that the bike designed to float effortlessly shouldnt fall down a damn hole

"Jetbikes are TREATED AS Bikes in all respects with the following exceptions" listed in the BRB.

it doesnt say they ARE bikes but RaI i'd say you'd be allowed no problem

If you have to throw down the RAW gauntlet in Spearhead... something has gone a RAI!
