I had a 2009 Concours, it was a very hot bike. The engine heat vented out around my feet & shins. After a mile or two, it felt like a heat gun blowing on them. I took off the lower fairing and it wasn't near as bad. Remember it was a 2009...………………..I think...... I've owned waaaay too many bikes. Never a HD, thank goodness. I also had a 2007 1300 FJR, it was wicked fast, rode & handled great, no heat issues...………..Faster than my B but didn't ride as good.
