Well, Speed Kult list is always fun, so this is a good choice.
You have a good basis here (in terms of models), so I would only suggest some minor changes just to distribute points.

Firstly, HQ:
While Painboy is good here and helps your bike unit, your warboss at such low points is better with a blob of 20-30 footslogging boyz, not on a bike.
Also you do not have a lot of points (only 500), so my suggest would be swap both HQ's for one KFF Big Mek on bike. It will cost 110 points.

Next - troop choices. Truck boyz is really one and only unit, that fully fits in your Speed Kult/bikers theme. So, just give 'em PK nobs with bosspoles to strengthen them.
2 x 9+1 Boyz (PK; BP) in Truck costs 260 teeth.

Finally, the bikers.
Nob dudes are too expensive, so take regular bike boys and give 'em some bodies instead. Five will be enough. Anyway, you do not have enough points for more, har-har. And dont forget PK nob.
So, 4+1 Warbikers (PK; BP) for just 130pts.

Hope this helps.

Cool, thanks for your feedback oddgit! Bonus points for your username making me lol

I rewrote the list as follows

Big Mek
- Bike
- Dead shiny shoota
- KFF
- Pk

Warbikers x3
- +1 nob with boss pole (gave the Pk to the Mek as he'll be the one that takes challenges)

2 squads of 10 slugga boys
- nob with BP and kombi rocket launcha
- Truck with rocket launcha

Wondering if I should just give both the Mek and biker nob big choppas to strike at initiative? A 4+ AS doesn't seem like much in CC, anticipating the odd power sword or whatever. Or do I do away with a CC focus entirely and just have this as a strafing force, all bubbled together working at the edges of their effective range?

Rocket launchers on trucks - good(they are free anyways, lol). But as for kombi-rockets on your nobs I'd say no. Same with bigmek's shiny shoota.
And you really need PK's on your truck boys to help with damage and deal with enemy armour.
Also, always try to max ork numbers, i.e. 12 boys for truck, 20 for wagon and 30 if on foot. Warbike unit need numbers too.

Warbikes first and main goal in low-point game - Maelstorm objectives. So try to complete missions, killing enemy troops and light vehicles by the way.

Maybe even change big mek for painboy again, FNP increases their(warbikes) survivability. And spend remaining point on boyz, 5th bike and reinforced rams for trucks.
Something like this:

Painboy on bike
11+1 Boys (BP; PK) on Truck with RL and reinforced ram
11+1 Boys (BP; PK) on Truck with RL and reinforced ram
4+1 Warbikes (PK; BP)

Gotta be honest, I love the idea of a Painboy zipping about the battlefield, acting as some kind of barbaric "paramed-ork", and anyway, "oo cares if deyz not got no woondz yet, dey bleedin well will soon!"

Now I just want to paint them all up with red crosses and blue spinning lights lol

Only hesitation though is fnp can soon be cancelled out. Ok, not by much at 500 points, but still, can't help but think the 5++ bubble would be a better investment?

500 points is really very little, so we cannot take all we want. Painboy is just cheaper than big mek with KFF , which in turn gives you possiblity to take more numbers in your units(12 boys with pk nob instead of 10, for example), which is important, especially for orks.
