I'm not too sure about your comment above. You should never just moth ball it as you suggest unless you really do want to work on the engine in the spring... it's not a lawnmower, it needs to be run at least every two weeks for at least 30 minutes, now it would be best to have that running on the road (you should have at least 1 day of good weather every 2 weeks) where all the systems get exercised but if you can't, you can't. As for the rust in the exhaust, lets see... block and heads aluminum, headers and entire exhaust stainless steel, nothing that can rust there, now if you mean oxidize, I could understand that but neither of these two metals do much of that either.I use a battery tender to keep the battery fully charged, change the oil, fill the gas tank, and add Stabil to the gas and let it sit.
What you don't want to do is start it occasionally and let it idle. This creates condensation in the exhaust and engine that doesn't fully evaporate. It's bad for the engine and causes premature rust in the exhaust.
