Answer to your question is No but if you are after keeping your hands warm in winter then the best gloves I have found are two finger mitts. I hate thick gloves but theses or something similar work extremely well.

Add a pair in thin inner gloves and hands are nice and warm. Ok they don't look cool but who cares. They do require a little bit of adjustment time to get used to them but they work. Very comfortable.

Thanks Levisp, I would prefer to wear gloves than using muffs but just cant find the right ones. I did try mitts years ago but couldnt get on with them.... I found out that I clutch and brake with different amounts of fingers at different times / speeds...... these look different again though... could be worth a try but would go for a cheaper set first just incase they end up in the cupboard with all the other gloves  :(

Yes I know what you mean about the fingers. I have to change the way I use throttle and clutch when wearing the two finger mitts. However the plus side is that you have good feel of the controls which you don't get with thick winter gloves. Two finger version I think is better than the traditional mitt. The Rukka ones have shot up in price, Hein Gerrick if they are still out used to do something similar. Good luck with your search and if you find something that works do post a review.
