Gonna get a supermoto with winter tyres for next winter, should be a bit of fun if nothing else.

My CG125 was ok in the snow, not too much power

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no such thing for motorbikes.
i've been riding my gf's Yamaha 225 Serrow. It's pretty ideal. Tyres are offroad focused but not outright knobblies. bike is light as possible for picking up (catching before you drop it). Not too much power, or brakes! :eek:

Lets be honest here, all tyres are crap in the ice. Unless you have spiked/studded tyres or snow chains of course. Knobblies however grip great in the snow. I also cannot see an advantage to having a larger CC bike like the 950/90 ADV/enduro in the snow either. Yes they work and very well at what they do, (id like one, but not for ice/snow work but to go places like TLW has) but if your gonna lose control chance's of you stopping it are zilch. And it'll prolly hurt due to the fact hey are just too heavy, especially if there is plenty of momentum involved. If its just for winter fun the lighter the better, not just for control and the fact they are easier to pick up but because they are made to fall off with as little damage as possible.

Also buying a bike just for snow is a bit daft, granted we've had plenty of the white stuff this year and a lil beginning of the year but may/may not have any more for another 10 years.

:D

Don't think there are any snow tyres made for bikes, definitely not here in the UK anyway, Germany/Switzerland will be the place to look.
Snow tyres are actually very effective, a colleague of mine has a pair on the front of his Vauxhall corsa (normal on the rear) and he has been getting in and out of places 4x4's cant, he just drives around in this like normal, albeit not exceeding the speed limit... They're not super tyres!
