If you've ever seen motorcycle Ice-Racing then you know that the surface is carefully prepared (plowed, swept, cleaned..... although they do stop short of running a Zamboni between heats).
So the Ice-Racers aren't dealing with the highly variable conditions you'll find on any combination of neighborhood roads, arterials, and highways.
During my drive to the airport from my house here in Spokane I see untracked deep-snow conditions in the neighborhood, then "shaving-cream" slush on the arterial roads (caused when the trucks lay down the Urea fluid and then it snows some more) and then patchy hardpack on the highway.
Studded motorcycle tires would only be effective on the hardpack highway snow. And even then the cops would probably pull you over and send you to the hospital for a full psychiatric evaluation.
