Twenty degrees (on the spyder). First gear jacket, first gear overpants and winter gloves. Heated grips on low.. Was very comfortable. Rider protection from the elements is an area the RT excells in.
Have riden in colder weather....but different bike.
Ride when you can.

It is Cold Outside!!!!
15 degrees the first winter on my 2010 RT. Now this is my 3rd winter and once it hits 32 I don't ride. Lucky, here in Arkansas when it hits 32 in the AM that usually means 45 degrees by 2 PM. So I can be found running around the area most afternoons unless I'm on the golf course.

On my Spyder the coldest has been 21 F on my 83 Goldwing 14 F.

Eight degrees last Feb. on a 250 mile round trip to Idaho Falls. Wondered about my sanity at the time. I ride all year if the roads are dry. Cheers

20F. Mil Spec long underwear and boot socks, genes, chaps, long sleeve shirt, insulated vest under riding jacket, insulated gauntlet gloves, 3/4 helmet with face mask, heated grips.
Don't forget to factor in the windchill. 60mph at 20F = -4F.
Hydrate well. Cold air depletes body fluid rapidly.

Only ridden down to 35 deg. wearing the First Gear Thermal suit and was toasty warm.

So far 35 degrees with first gear thermal suite and heated gloves. Neck got cold but chest down was extremely warm......I actually sweated a bit
get a first gear suite.........it's magic
