While technically not a truck/wagon/prime-mover, the riders are still concentrated, and they are as exposed (and probably more so) as they would be in any other unprotected transport. So I think the +1 modifier does apply. To avoid writing out a special condition, just say 'yes'.
I would only counter-argue that Peter makes an argument for a home rule, but the rule (as written) does not apply: after all, if we simply invoke that AFVs are not
technically trucks, wagons, or prime-movers, we can interchange rules at will for the two classes. I'm just saying that we need to maintain the distinction between what the rules actually state or intend and how we choose to modify them as home rules, particularly as - my point #2 - the specific rules for tank riders likewise do not mention a +1 bonus for BF.
I might be more in agreement with Peter's post had he said: "The +1 modifier ought to apply."
Maybe dealt with in 4th edition?
