Obviously you don't have real winter where you live, or you wouldn't be thinking of motorcycles, motor-bikes, and bicycles. Well, I guess there are die-hards who manage on two wheels even in winter, but just getting in and out of weather gear could take you as much time as the bus.
Ignore Chopper. Motorcycles can't be fun in city traffic, constantly jostling with cars, trucks, double-parkers, etc. I'd say:
(a) resign yourself to the longer bus ride (try audio books and lectures?), or
(b) bite the auto bullet: buy a 10-year-old Cadillac or Lincoln with a good sound system and plush (heated) seats, and enjoy a comfortable commute each way. It's only 14 miles a day, so don't worry about the mileage. If parking costs much more than the bus, find a nearby coworker to share the ride, or demand a raise.
