First check the law carefully.
The winter tire requirement probably doesn't apply to motorcycles.
If it does, the government has effectively banned bikes during the winter
because I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as snow tires for bikes.
OTOH, the police may realize how stupid the law is and not enforce it (for
bikes).

Slightly. Knowing that, adjust your riding habits. No need to change
tires.
