This was just a quick for fun list I made. I would still expect to see a few wins from it though.
HQ
Captain on Bike + Artificer + Storm Shield + Lightning Claw - 180
TROOPS
2x SM Bike Squad + 5 Bikers + MultiMelta Attack Bike +2 Meltas + Fist - 620
SM Bike Squad + 2 Bikers + 2 Flamers + Fist + Melta Bombs - 180
SM Bike Squad + 1 Biker + MultiMelta Attack Bike + 2 Plasma + Fist - 220
FAST
2x Scout Bikers + 2 Bikers + 3 Grenade launchers + Mines - 300
1500 Points on the nose, I would personally group the Captain with the Flamer Squad because it seems most assaulty.

For casual play it looks great. In competitive play you might have a problem taking down transports.
Here is a writeup that I made on bike armies. It might help you.

I quite like the list.
Powerfists may not be needed, if you end up in cc you will die, you have to combat tactic out of it and run away. The meltas and flamers have to get a bit too close for my liking.
I like to have something ling ranged like a typhoon just in case. Then also if I am running a vanilla bike list I include an expensive command squad.
I think your scout bikers could be slightly improved but I am still learning about them. Meltabombs for example?

Yeah, the 300 points for a unit of scouts? I just don't see the return on investment happening here for the alpha strike you are hoping to get. I would use the points elsewhere.
With that being said, I am open to trying anything. If it works for you, then go with it.

Have you considered Kor'sarrow Khan and outflanking to get close without being shot.
