    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.

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    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.

    Not a hottie

    Completed 1,100 miles last month on a slow speed tour of PA with my F6B, in the upper 80's and low 90's everyday and no hot chestnuts. The hot air is blown out the sides of the fairing, from the radiators, like other have stated. It works very well at keeping the heat away from the boys.

    As mentioned above the 6B does a good job at getting the heat away from the rider. Not an issue. I sold me ST1300 after only owning it for no more than 45 days. The heat coming of that bike was unbearable.

    Don't ride one of the new HD with the new 107 watercooled engines then. It makes the Wing look like a toaster oven!
