    As for Mimetism, in this or another thread, it was said the bike get mimetism (so those already with it keeps it dismounted), the rule is clear it is the trooper with a bike equipment that gets total terrain and mimetism; so dismounted biker still benefit from it.

    A dismounted trooper does not have the Motorcycle equipment

    That strange (you are not wrong, but it is odd). If neither a dismounted yojimbo nor a foot soldier like a keisotsu have the Motorcycle equipment rule, then how can one get back on the bike ?

    Motorcycle is an Automatic Equipment, it has a rule for trooper on a motorcycle that wants to dismount, but it has no rules on how an on-foot Yojimbo without that equipment can mount the motorcycle by touching the Token... It sounds like a can of worm.

    Anyway, rule as is, dismounted biker lose that equipment and any bonus that comes with that equipment (except for it retains the equipment granted effect to use both of the two Unit Profile).

    PS - also why repeat "Trooper mounted on a motorcycle" in effects #4 thru #8 if a "Trooper not mounted on a motorcycle" stops having that equipment and thus there exist no "Motorcycle-equipped Trooper not mounted on a Motorcycle" ? As they stop being equipped with a motorcycle when they ditch it.

    FWIW, the fluff description is that the bike is moving really fast and spraying up obscuring snow using a magic vibro-field, so the intention is probably not that the trooper would do that while on foot.

    I think you're reading too much into it.

    The rules on mounting our unmounting are in the general movement rules, Motorcycle has some additional ones.

    The rules say "Trooper mounted on a motorcycle" because it's stylistically more pleasant than "equipped with a motorcycle" but also because mounting and unmounting are part of the General Movement rules.
