[QUOTE="quicksilver, post: 897138, member: 375"] Honda ST, FJR, and Concours all struggled with heat on the rider. None of them nailed it right out of the box. But, at least coffee can fixes helped. And later years, offered band-aids. Now comes the Motus with even more power and more heat pouring from the engine and headers. So, let's put the pipes and top end right smack in front of the rider's shins. Yah, that'll work. (at least in December) There's no quick fix for this design layout. Throwing down an entire afternoon in 95+ with humidity will be unthinkable. And unfixable. I'll pass. Maybe the next gen will put some plastic between the pipes and rider. Heck, I'm from the midwest, I seems like southern riders should be yelling "oh, hell no" before their next heart beat! I don't know, maybe I'm missing something? [/QUOTE]
