A chopper motorcycle has a bigger rear wheel mostly just for looks. It is said that wide rear tired choppers handle poorly unless they are properly built.

What bike has one wheel bigger than the other?

Well, there's the old Penny-Farthing AKA high wheeler, which had a huge front wheel and a tiny rear. Then there was the so-called 60's muscle bike, built to resemble a chopper. There was also a few mountainbikes called 96ers, with a bigger front than rear wheel. The theory being that the bigger front would make them go over obstacles easier. There's also the occasional Time Trial/triathlon bicycle with a smaller front than rear in order to improve aerodynamics.

Cross wind resistance or buffeting solid vs spoked motorcycle wheels is there any difference?

The coefficient of drag of the solid disc wheel is higher than the spoke wheel, therefore the net force on the wheel goes up as the drag coefficient goes up. The rear wheel does not have a significantly greater effect over a spoke wheel, because it is shrouded by other motorcycle parts [rear fenders, chain guards, saddlebags etc]. The front wheel is a different matter because as well as an increase in force on the front wheel, a solid front wheel also moves the center of pressure forward on the motorcycle, which may make the motorcycle harder to control in cross winds.

Are there four wheeled motorcycles?

There is a prototype motorcycle, showcasing a Dodge Viper engine, that has two wheels in the front, and two in the back. This is not a production run yet. There are also three-wheeled "bikes", like the T-Rex, that have a two-wheel axle in the front, and a motorcycle-style single wheel in the back. Some home builders have taken an easier way out along the lines of the Trike. Instead of replacing the entire rear end of the motorcycle, they simply add two more wheels to the rear by welding a brace on either side of the original rear tyre. What they end up with is a motorcycle with one front wheel and three rear wheels. The three rear wheels are all in continuous contact with the ground and have their axels in line with each other.
