A guy named Alex at my FLGS has bought himself 4 boxes of the above in order to build himself a Space Marine Bike army.
I did exactly the same thing so I know it's a bloody good way of doing it on the cheap (ish).
My (admittedly brief) testing of Bike lists forced me to accept that it CANT be done competitively without the Command Squad.
Taking into account that he's already built himself a Librarian on Bike and has Landspeeders in the kit I'd probably do something like this.
Editors Note : Well spotted Grav - forgot to give the command squad bikes, lol. had to drop a speeder to compensate ;-)

Personally I'd go pure bikes and live without the Librarian and put some speeders (or the Librarian if you really want him) back in at higher points values.
Something like this,
