Unless you have a really long commute, the time it takes to put on your riding gear and take it off more than negates th time you’ll save being able to cut through traffic faster, even if you can split lanes. And, as megaspaz said, bikes need more maintenance than cars, especially tires. I also find that what I save in gas (not much with a five-mile commute) I more than lose when I go riding on weekends or take the long way home from work.
Luckily, my wife loves motorcycles and encouraged me to buy one last month.
