Part of it depends on how much ground clearance and mobility the hover bike has. In theory you can give the middle finger to even the most cratered and rubble-filled streets or even lakes.

While a fully flying motorcycle could achieve greater speed and would have more room to work with, it would probably also draw way more fire.

Both have merit, but viable anti-grave tech makes skimmers much more readily accessible than compact aircraft, and they're simpler to pilot.
