I'll ride through the winter on my ex500 provided the streets aren't frozen and there is less than a 50% chance of precip (as per my agreement with my wife). So far the coldest I've ridden in is 19 degrees F. My commute is about 40 miles and about 40 minutes. I'm okay for about the first 30 minutes, but the last ten minutes can get uncomfortable. Someday, I might get some heated gear, but I've got doubts about whether my bike's alternator can handle it.
