Believe it or not, though they look like slick tires, those are new tires on the bike. It's how road tires are designed these days.
For more than a few years I lived in Naperville IL and commuted by train into the city. There was no parking available for cars but there was for motorcycles so through much of the winter I'd ride my motorcycle two miles to the train station. If it was really cold I'd put on a snowmobile suit. Back in 1966 I road my motorcycle from Chicago to Carbondale (350 miles) in January. On that trip I was able to experience the early effects of hypothermia first hand. After the shivering would stop the blood would leave my extremities to heat my body core. Fortunately for me, when that happened I could no longer hold the throttle open and I'd have to pull off the road to warm up again. That one thing probably saved my life (LOL). It took me 12 hours to get to Carbondale, the coldest 12 hours of my life!
However, with that said, having a motorcycle in Carbondale was worth it though. Coeds loved motorcycles!
