Thanks for the info guys...the bike I am getting does not have heated grips... So I will pick some up...are they easy to fit??

Divided opinions on here but I'd suggest fitting bar muffs instead (or as well perhaps) they're cheap and easy to fit and stop wind-chill and wet glove syndrome.

However I accept that they make you and bike look a bit of a fashion faux-pa.

Yeah...I think they look at bit dodgy IMO..may just stick to the grips if they are easy enough to fit.

always found them to be a waste of time and money

they keep the palm warm but dont stop wind chill

spend the extra money on a good set of winter gloves

just my 2p

I put heated grips on my Kawasaki, it was ok but not as good as I thought it may have been. So on the Max i put bar muffs on which I wear with my very good quality winter gloves and I have to say so far I have very nice snug hands. I work shift work so I am often riding home late on a winter night, and I have even been out on the motorway at 1am on a winters morning with no problems.
