I've got a TZR 125 and a GPZ 500...

I am going over to Malton from Leeds shortly, it's gonna be cold and dark, but worst of all, icy.

The TZR I wouldn't be as bothered about if I wrecked, but which one would make more sense in terms of grip, handling etc? I'm thinking TZR because it doesn't have as much power to put down.

Cheers for your input, also, I haven't been out recently how bad is it out there?
