If the Mongols adopted motorbikes in the 20th century, could they have taken over Asia in a similar manner as 1000 years ago?
Where would they get their fuel from?

Horses fed on grass as they went.
Bikes feed on oil as they go. Asia's got oil.

But really, mongols had an advantage especially before they adopted conquered foes siege tech (and engineers) because each rider had multiple fresh mounts. They could travel faster than news of them could. Shit don't work when your enemy has radios. And an airforce.

if motorbikes could convert grass into fuel, grow spare parts and breed other bikes then yes
otherwise: no
If the Byzantine Empire adopted cannon in the 1000s, could it have survived to modern times?
