I don't really get your problem with it. If you have enough warm gear it's not particularly uncomfortable. If it's within you and your bikes abilities (We're talking 125cc here, not something with a large uncontrollable engine that weighs a tonne). I've always ridden my bike through winters and the snow, and I live in a pretty tough place to do so, we had almost 4ft of snow last year.
Some people can handle it I guess, others just moan about life.
You do it, that's great, all power to you.
I did commuting on a bike for 5 years.
Winter before last killed it for me though and finally did my car test, did last winter on 4 wheels.
As already said winter commuting on 2 wheels isnt that bad as long as you have some decent gear but it can still be a miserable existence.
Probably the most hair raising exploit in winter was in the snow on my Speed Triple 1050.
Quite an interesting sensation when you touch the throttle and the rear of the bike goes sideways instead of pushing you forward
