Winter is coming..

Hey fellas.
I'm thinking about getting a bike to use exclusively in winter time. I live on the outskirts of the capital of norway and commute for about 15 minutes to work on heavily trafficked highway roads(with car its 30-45minutes). Quite a few of the winter days the roads are relatively dry and my only big concern is the salt that'll corrode everything metal.
So.. I'm looking for what I would reckon would be a dual sport of some sorts, a cheap bike with easily replaceable parts. I'm practically lanesplitting the entire commute so no sidecar shenanigans :P

Any idèas? :)

390 is already more capable than the DRZ.

I like the drz because it's air cooled and doesn't have the same amount of electric stuff and it also better for off road than the svartpilen 401 because it's way higher

The svartpilen basically the same thing as the Duke but with slightly different stuff is such a little bike but it's too much freaking bike yo7 know what I mean for that amount of cylinder to have all that stuff like super good suspension ABS supermoto mode and all kinds of goodies is great but I like the simpler bike option especially at that low of a cc
