    I rode mine to work year round in Phoenix, I've seen the bike read over 120*. I always rode with full gear and a full face helmet. The only thing that got unbearable was the heat coming up off the road surface. I swear the bottom of my boots felt like they where melting.

    I used to live in Scottsdale, Arizona during my adolescent years... before "circumstances" put me in military service....

    ATGATT does not exist in that hotspot back during the '70's.... too eager to ride.... we were of the old class of riders back then out in the boondocks of the Pima Indian Reservation and some serious points north of that.

    Occasional broken bones and wipe outs were the norm back in my day. Experience was born from those hard earned lessons earned.

    Huge fun nethertheless. I wish I could go back to those days. Much better than the present.

    Me too. I'm in New Mexico. It gets hot here. Unless I am stopped in traffic, the bike is not hot at all. The road is hot, the damn sun is hot, but the bike is not.
