Doesn't hurt it one bit. Actually better to run one every now and then up to operating temp. It helps keep the fuel circulation through carbs,injectors,and helps keep engine seals soft and pliable.

More you drive, the less problems. I use my ATV's year round, diesel and gas.

As the others have stated "YES" do run your machine frequently, even if only a run up and down the driveway to get all those internal parts lubed. Do make sure it runs long enough to bring it up to temp and burn any moisture off!! Short runs that donot allow the engine to reach full operating temp is even worse as it adds moisture inside the engine from condensation.
Heck...dress warm and go riding, enjoy your machine all year round. Mine gets ridden at least once a week if not more.
