Hello All I wanted to make a bike captain with TH/SS and I was wondering what cool models GW or otherwise alternatives would be a good start? i don't like the generic bike models

Forgeworld makes a rather expensive alternative bike. Most of the aftermarket bikes I've seen have been predominantly jetbikes. Can't think of many standard road-bike conversion bits.

Would I be correct in assuming White Scars?
If it's a more...by which, really, REALLY unorthodox, you might get away with an Ork bike. Having messed with the Chaos bike kit recently, and despite not liking the missing armour and overall stumpy feeling of it, that would offer an alternative base that is still easily compatible with parts from the Imperial one.
I've smooshed DA bits onto the Chaos bike for my not quite Fallen. You'd have to remove some of the iconography to use it for an Imperial bike but still doable. There could be some mileage in the GSC bikes, but that might take a lot of work to get a Marine looking natural on something designed for a normal human sized model.
Outside of GW models I'm not too sure what you could use. I've seen some 3rd party models, but as Elbows says, mostly jetbikes. I suppose there are Wargames Exclusive's female inquisitor bikes, which are certainly blinged out like you'd expect from a modern Captain.

Take a look at what I've been painting and modelling: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/725222.page

Kromlech do a cool tracked bike that might do the trick. I think they are designated Breacher bikes.

yeah I just googled it, it might do the trick but might not fit my primaris models I would have to see.
