Buying a sportsbike for winter commute

[alan36]

As above guys, I'm thinking of buying a thou and using it for the daily commute. Around 40 miles per day. Is this a recipe for disaster when the really cold weather hits or would it be ok. I'm thinking ice and me being used to a 600 in the summer. This would be my only transport also. Advice please.
