depending on the kit, it is certainly feasible in the middle of winter. the serious bikers in norway use single cylinder air cooled machines with spike tyres, stick to the interior snow/ice roads, and if you don't have any serious whiteout conditions, it is doable. However, be prepared for riding at -40c, serious hypothermia if you aren't prepared.
the coastal roads are far warmer, the temp is influenced by the warmer sea currents, and is wetter and warmer, but, the roads are more risky due to the black ice.
