Seriously, even with anti-lock-brakes (new models like KTM 1190 Adventure, BMW S 1000 XR, Ducati 1299 Panigale S and Yamaha YZF-R1 even have even cornering-anti-lock-brakes, but are likely not in any of the "most economical motorbike" lists), once you encounter an ice patch in a corner, you will reconsider the wisdom of using 2 instead of 4 wheels. That is, at least, my opinion, YMMV.
