Way to go on the new toy! They are a completly different animal than a sporty. Here's a shot of my machine.

All you need is good gloves and a good jacket. The radiator makes for a passable heater. I suggest making sure there is no ice on the roads.
Enjoy the ride. When riding with other bikes that aren't power cruisers (Vmax, M109, V-rod) or sport bikes, you'll only need 2nd and 3rd gears to run with them.

Yeah, there isn't much wind protection on these things. You will get cold at those temps unless you have heated gear. The only one of those bikes that will come close is the M109 which is bascially down to rider ability.
