No need to move to Florida to ride when we ride 12 months here, just south of you. I'll be riding to Napa for the club meeting on Tuesday evening. It will be cold (~60F), but with simple riding gear it's comfy.
I bought my GTS off CL in PDX. It was stored outside and had some oxidation on the aluminum parts but not on steel parts. The plastic parts had pretty deep stains but they cleaned up. Next time, I'll buy a CA Vespa if I buy used.
My Buddy 170i has never been wet!
