I'm in the Pacific NW and other than summer, most riding is cool to cold. I find the heated seat good, but have to turn it off and on - it gets too warm, even on the lowest setting. The heater is also a good item. I blow both vents onto me since I don't usually have a passenger. The drawback with the heater is that it blows at you, instead of at your legs and feet. the legs and feet don't get heat. They should have pointed them downward. I rigged a tube to divert one of the vents down towards my feet, for coldest riding.
I've only been caught in the rain briefly a few times. Water comes off the top of the windshield and pretty much goes over your head. The worst is the spray coming off the front tires (I have the optional rear fender), even just on wet roads. It can make a mess. I don't think there is much concern with the interior getting wet. When your moving not much comes inside. The problem is just cleaning up dirty spray.
