Too haaaaahd core fer me!

Randy-o rides 400 days a year though and in temps down to 78*F below 0. He's got screws in his Vstrom.

I put studded knobbies on my XR650L this winter.

They're surprisingly okay on dry pavement. They're pretty sketchy on snowy/icy dirt roads. It hasn't snowed enough here this winter for me to be able to try them out on packed-snow-covered dirt roads.

I've put hundreds more miles this winter on my V-Strom with regular tires... and I'm thinking of pulling the studded tires off the Honda in the next few weeks and putting regular knobbies back on.

The real trick would be to get a dual sport and an extra wheelset -- keep plain knobbies on one, studded knobbies on the other, and change them out as necessary.

If you have the ability to trailer your bike(s), you have another option: put together a set of ice tires for your Buell or whatever dual sport you end up getting and go ride on frozen lakes, or a set of knobbies for the dual sport with rally studs and do some snowy trail riding.

I second your notion for a dual sport bike, and encourage you to start posting in this section
