Army Rangers use bikes for recon also. I think that there are other nations which use m/c for recon (especially airborne) also. If I remember correctly the Italian OOB had modern bikes. These were listed in the infantry classification.

A very, very important issue, indeed! Thanks for bringing it up.

I've been using m/c recon with my airmoble units alot since they are stealthy and they have good range.

And yeah, im quite sure about the AGS-17 mount. In 2003 russians were also working on AGS-30 mount.

While they can't take any hits, they look like they could be used for a quick anti-armor ambush!
