Turns out the NC30 has handwarmers built in as standard!
Found this whilst sat in traffic today when it was freezing cold and chucking it down with rain.
Stick it in neutral, lean back on the seat slightly with your feet on the floor and you can tuck your figures into the fairing holes either side below the tank where the fuel tap is.
Its not mega warm but is enough to help numb, cold, wet fingers!
Is there anything the VFR can't do!
Enjoy.

Have done that a few time myself, works a treat at traffic lights. Also, the mid-fairing is a good place to put your gloves to warm them up a bit if you are quickly running into the shop and back

i always find you can hop off and grab a hold of the exhaust for a couple of seconds at a time, especially in the real real cold when the exhaust isn't boiling, used to always do it at toll plazas.
do not try with summer gloves tho!!

i would take my gloves off, warm up my hands on the frame just by my knees and place my gloves between infills and frame just above my hands, comfy and warm :D

Don't grab the exhaust, it's hot enough to melt the waterproof lining in gloves that aren't Goretx. Ask how I know.
I used to grab the head on my CB-1 at traffic lights, one advantage of unfaired bikes.

I usually warm my hands on the frame - always nice and warm, left hand you can do while riding, but the right hand is a problem!
