Do you feel heat off the engine on your legs?

[tonmarchelli]

Looking to get my 08 in a month or two but got a quick question.

when you are riding around (either freeway or around town) do you feel the heat of the engine drafted onto your legs from the body work? or does it do a good job at keeping the heat off of you?

thx

Cant feel it through my leathers?

I feel it on my right leg a little here in Florida but it's still not as bad as most bikes I've owned.

Yeah I feel it more on my right foot, doesnt seem too bad and only noticeable at low speeds

Hiya -- After about a hour of riding (hot day -- Summer here in New Zealand) its like getting a hair dryer on high blasting on your right leg from about the mid-calf region. Not terrible but it can be felt through my leathers. I think it will be nice in winter when the riding is alot colder

But this shouldn't be considered a negative comment on the most fantastic bike to hit the market!!!

Pretty much feel the heat when its 75 deg or warmer here in Fla. I'm sorta concerned about it especially during June, July and August.

So when it the last time a bike was made with a big inline 4 that doesn't produce a lot of heat? Just get it and ride. The only way it will bother you is if you ride wearing flip flops and a wife beater shirt. Wear good riding gear, and your good to go.
