They probably had many functions.
A tank battilion is a lumbering beast and motorbikes can give the group a much quicker response. Bikes could be used for recon, pathfinding, messengers, ferrying of small amounts of supplies.
i would say they would come in very handy attached to a heavy amoured division and enable the group to cover a lot more ground. I'm sure winter conditions would affect bikes in the same way as all motorized transport but once again could well be the only vehicle to get through snow bound roads where others couldnt.
