I am in NJ it gets pretty cold over here. I do not winterize my bike; but the best thing to do is fill the gas tank up all the way (add some staybil if your not going to start it or ride it). You can disconnect the battery and take it inside or hook up a battery tender to it on a trickle or just go out a start it up once in a while (this will not cause condensation like some say). good luck!!
