Was not aware they existed.

In the time of "Bagration" operation Red army has, for example, motorcycle battalion as part of tank corps:

HQ&control, 74 men, 5 armored cars, 21 motorcycles    

tank company  of three platoons - 10 tanks T-34/Valentine IX, 43 men

armored carriers company - M2/Universal Mk.I, 76 men, 10 armored vehicles

2 x motorcycle companies per 110 men: each per 3 platoons per 31 men and 15 motorcycles

AT-gun battery, 38 men, 4 x 57 mm guns

 

Red Army used AM-600, M-72 (copy of BMW R71), HarleyDavidson, Indiana motorcycles. To Land-lease motorcycles cydecars were attaching from M-72

yes I didn't know they did recon, thanks for filling me in

Sorry fella, in retrospect my comment looks a bit snarky, wasn't meant to be.....The Soviet side of WWII still isn't as well covered as it should be in the west and after this amount of time that is disgraceful (and undoubtedly wilful).
