How many Ork Bikers would you recommend as a "No Fewer Than" limit.

and would you recommend them at all ??

Ork Warbikers are pretty good this edition, as are most bike units.

It's best to at least have a unit of 6-7, to keep up an appreciable amount of dakka and resiliency against enemy firepower, particularly if you're taking multiple units of them.

There's also the more well-known Ork Bikestar, where you take a full unit of 15 and stick in a Warbiker Warboss with DLS + Painboy Biker in it. That's only if you want a deathstar unit however.

Bikerz are fun. Bring them.

As for how many: that depends on the size of the game (I've had some success with squads of 3 in =<1000 pts games) and what you want to do with them. Objective grabbing? 6 could work, but that'd depend on the rest of your army. Offensive unit? 9+.

In most cases, I'd prefer 2 units of 6, not a single unit of 12. Not fielding my Orks without them, anyway.

Biker units are fun and work quite well. Be sure to use Bikerbosses once in a while as well, they are though and pack quite a punch.
