Tucano urbano scooter skirt + muffs + heated grips and you can survive anything. Did two years on a scooter with that setup and was never cold or wet.
Have rock/mx type handguards on mc with Oxford regular heated grips, wearing 3 season gloves its warm enough. A winter glove then ends up insulating you from the heated grip and tbh they are so bulky you can barely control the bike.
If mc generator has enough capacity without melting any wiring a heated jacket is defo way to go. Borrowed a mates bmw r1200 with a jacket plugged in last winter, 2 to 4c day ride, yeah legs got cold and stiff eventually, but managed a big day out without dying of cold.
