And for God's sake , don't forget to kiss it goodnight !!!
In all seriousness,
CHANGE YOUR OIL... YES, WHEN YOU PUT IS AWAY NOT WHEN YOU START IT AGAIN IN THE SPRING...(well, unless you do both.)
But why would I do that ?
I'm glad you asked...
used oil is actually acidic and corrosive ...! so don't let it sit in your bike all winter..

I have also heard of guys covering the bike and hangin a 40 or 60 watt bulb under the bike to keep the condensation at bay. Not sure this works but I have heard that. I keep mine in a cold garage plugged into the battery tender and I ride it as much as I can and never had any trouble with my bikes.

Only thing I ever do is clean off all the bug juice with Honda Spray Cleaner, check tire pressure, Stabil in the tank (run for a few minutes or take a short ride), plug in battery tender and wait for spring.
