Like others in here, I use the HippoHands (around $60) and then Oxford Heaterz heated grips (around $70). They worked pretty good this morning, it was in the low 30's *F. I had the heated grips on low. I've also used the Oxford HotHands (basically a heated grip overwrap) and those work good, and is easily movable from bike to bike unlike a grip replacement but it does make your grip a little bigger.

Last spring I got so cold I had to stop at some house in the country and ask to warm up. They were very nice and gave me some coffee; the lady of the house contributed a pair of her dish gloves. I slipped 'em on under the gloves I was wearing, and my hands were very warm.

If your insisting on riding in really cold weather you need handguards and mitts. Mitts fit onto the handle bar like a big glove and you put your hand through them with your gloves on and everything. Really good behind handguards - we use them on the farm quad during the winter and i havn't had cold hands yet. But heated grips are the dogs bollocks too. I have a set on my ZXR. If the battery wasn't pathetic on it i would use them abit more, but i don't like to risk it although they have an auto shut off if they are draining more than the battery is charging.
