You could always buy a KTM. Electrically heated seat really not needed.

Just a couple weeks ago i rode 8hrs to a friends house in frigid weather. I wore a light dirt bike glove inside a snowmobile gauntlet style glove from Klim.
I wore the bike gloves for the armor protection incase, the Klim sled gloves are not armored. Honestly it was not bulky, i removed the inside liner from the Klim its removable and now the bike glove became the inside liner.
The Klim "Climate" glove's are gore-tech, water proof and are $100.00can.
At -6c/21f my hands never got even close to cold at average 100km/hr.
The only issue was in time my upper torso started to chill too much, to the point it gets to you. A heated vest would had made a huge difference.
My feet, legs or butt never got cold.
My advise is good wind protection, hand protection with heated grips and heated inner jacket. Lastly layer your clothing.

I have never seen any body else mention this the whole time I have been on this forum but it affected me. May be it is just me and way i had my levers and mirrors set. When i first got my bike the mirrors pushed wind straight down on to the top of my hands. I bought mirror extenders but i moved my mirrors forward not out with them. that helped me tremendously. Of course i wear only cool weather gloves down to about 20 degrees. After that I will break out the heavy gloves. I just don't like heavy gloves.
Pretty sure BMW has the same option too. Never was interested. My ass is the last thing that gets cold. By the time it did, my feet & hands would unbearable.You could always buy a KTM. Electrically heated seat really not needed.

Im a daily rider here. Leaving for work it can get down in the low 30s in winter in the morning I worry more about frozen sprinkler run off than being cold. Never had the need to have a heated seat. I like the ease of removing bar mittens in the afternoon. I just bought a set of cheap universal Tusk bar mittens. Work great to take the chill off with heated grips and gloves. Heated jacket is also a must have.

its better having heated jacket than a heated seat ?

Everything you can heat will help your hands. If your core is too cold, very little body heat makes it to the hands or feet. I think a heated jacket would be better than a heated seat, but not as convenient.

Absolutely. My rear is outta the cold vs my upper torso and arms out in the wind. I run a battery tender pigtail adaptor on my heated gear so its an easy connect right up.

I ride down to about 15f. The best setup I've found is heated jacket liner, heated grips and bar mitts. Also, a gaiter for jacket to neck to helmet interface. Keep your core warm and everything else is easier to keep warm.

It's my understanding that your hands and feet get cold because your body is keeping what heat it can generate in your core. Blood circulation is reduced, vessels contract, etc. to keep the vital organs warm. More core heat means your body can then work on heating the extremities. This can be the case even when your core feels warm.
