It is an understatement that my Honda ST1300 is a very hot ride during the summer. The seat gets hot and the air off the motor and radiator pretty much cook a rider during over 80 degree days. So tell me how the F6B is in that regard? Does it roast your chestnuts during the summer from the engine heat?
Nope !

Nope and one nice feature of the fan in the cooling system is air is blown out and away from the faring when the fans come on so hot air is not pushed on the rider or passanger.

One nice thing about the Wings being encased in plastic is to channel heat through the bike and not onto the rider.
The only heat you will feel is at some slower speeds the heat from the radiators will come around the Fairing, but it is very minimal.
I've spent most my money on Motorcycles and Women, the rest I just wasted.
When compared to a Harley or Rocket III, the engine heat is surprisingly well-channeled away from the rider. The F6B is a cool bike, in more ways than one.
also the fans blow out the front of the bike while it is sitting still and up to I THINK 5 miles an Hour,, then the air IS coming thru the radiators during riding and blows out the sides,, the F6B has a NEW radiator EXIT design,, It is different that the Goldwing,, check-it out,,Originally Posted by Milkmaster

I live in Tampa and I ride all through the summer. The heat from the road is much more noticeable than any heat from the bike itself. I think you will be happy with the way the heat drafts away from the rider. My wife rides with me frequently and she doesn't get heat from the exhaust either. It really is a well designed bike from that standpoint. Add a windshield with a vent and I think you will be very pleased. My Slingshot on the other hand is like an oven...
I got a friend who rides Valkyries ( he has 3). I have one right now. He , at one time, bought a Gold Wing, and said he couldn't get used to how hot he was riding it in the summer. I don't know, I told him, I don't notice any of what he described on my F6B.

Sold my ST1300 and got the F6B a week later, no heat sneaking up through the front of the seat and no tip-overs on the F6B!
No electric windshield, but that's one less thing to break.
I use seat beads on the stock seat and have no butt sweat.
It lacks some of the fancy features of other bikes but makes up for it with an absolutely luxurious ride.
