I had some experience with heated grips on a Suzuki VX800 some years back:

1) They don't keep your fingertips warm.
2) If you connect them with the supplied wires/fuse/switch and forget to switch them off, you have to try to bump start your bike in cold (possibly icy) weather in the morning, setting a poor impression for your new girlfriend.

You can't beat a good pair of winter gloves. I have a pair of Haveba two-fingered gloves. These look slightly odd, but are seriously warmer than any other gloves I have used. As a bonus, ther is no wiring and I can use them with any bike.
