We hit 96deg. today in Wichita, took the 06 out for a 100mile ride. Mostly hiway but some in town. The only heat I could feel was on my left ankle, and it was not bad at all. This is my first FJR so I don't know how bad the heat was on the older one,s, but this one is not going to be a problem at all. Come on summer. Bete.
