Not impossible but challenging. Today it was all ice could barely stand up on the driveway at work slow ride roads were just as bad. Small bike sounds nice in a way but too old school for a scooter.
Not even considering the weight, you ride a motorcycle in the snow and ice???? What tires are you running?

That is exactly how I feel, despite that, I have 2 canadian import bikes already, and my dad has a third.

Yup, my dad said that today after a ride, he likes his VFR 400 better than the VFR 800.
