The only think I'm not liking about my Katana is the heat, the thing gets HOT!
What makes it worse are the fairings (I think) as they route the air exactly to your legs and under the seat, so the seat gets hot and your legs (upper part, near the butt) also gets hot!
Is this normal???
I think it may be, a 750cc four banger must put out quite a bit of heat, and as I'm used to my 150cc thumper (you can barely feel the engine heat) I'm getting annoyed by the heat.
I can't remember where, but I read that the air/oil cooled GSX-R (wich were the basis for the tunas) were famous for that.
