A BMW 1200 GSA is NOT a well suited vehicle for snow ploughing uncleared minor roads in Norway during winter. And tell me why you advise TS to stay away from the coast? The coastal climate is much milder and much less prone to snow and long lasting tempratures below zero. Coastal roads would in general be much better than any inland roads in Norway during winter if snow is the biggest concern. Coastal tempratures very seldom goes below minus 5-10, while inland tempratures often sees minus 20-30 degrees, and a couple of times pr year minus 40 as the coldest.

Once you have spikes you need snow and ice on the road.
" Nordkapp and kirkenes in Winter" on two weehls without spikes is suicide.

P.S.
I would advise a lighter and less expensive bike, but only Tiger3 knows his riding limits and how much loss in value he can live with.
