They leave from the same point at the same time and travel at the same speed. Does the fact the bus wheels are bigger than the motorbike's make the bus arrive first?

if they are both going at the same speed, then the mass,size of the wheel and other considerations have already been take in account, so they both should arrive at the same time.

no, if they had the same wheel rotation, then that might be true, but they will be the same otherwise
say if both of them were running at 200 rpm (not sure if thats plausible), then the bus would be moving at a higher m/h rate.
but you are asking about somethings that have the same m/h rate. if that would be true, the nthe motorcycle would have to have a higher rpm than the bus.

no theyre going at the same speed. so its the same time. but if you were going down a hill then the bus would get there first

They arrive at the same time. That's like asking what is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead.

think about what speed means... wheels have nothing to do with it.. i dont care if ones floating and the other has no wheels and is sliding on the pavement... if they are going forward the same speed.... then they are going forward the same speed.
