One thing to add here.  My girlfriend was looking to buy a BMW Scarver (the 
F650CS, which I got a one hour test drive of a couple of months ago.  How 
much fun is this wee bike??) and the dealer pointed out that the grip for 
the left hand is mounted directly on the metal bar, whilst the grip for the 
right hand is mounted on the plastic throttle tube.  Therefore the left 
hand grip loses more heat through conduction through the bars than the 
right.  He also said that when you're riding, your right hand tends to grip 
slightly more tightly as it has to hold the throttle position, whilst your 
left hand moves around a lot more flicking indicators, pulling in the 
clutch etc., so it really does spend slightly less time in contact with the 
grip.

Cheers,

Andrew
